Webpage: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-443/paper11.pdfThe dynamic social network visualizer “DySoN” (Dynamic Social Networks) aims at understanding patterns and structural changes in dynamic social networks that evolve over time via an interactive visualization approach. As an alternative and supplementation to the numerous other approaches to visualization of social network data and as an attempt to overcome some of the drawbacks of these approaches, DySoN interactively visualizes streaming event data of social interactions by an interactive three-dimensional model of interpolated NURBS ”tubes”, representing activity and social proximity within a given set of actors during a given time period by using three dimensions of temporal information mapping: spatial density (tube distance), tube-color and tube-diameter. We use a self assembled large collaboration network of Jazz musicians with a straightforward semantics for the computation of relation strengths for the evaluation of the approach. We also discuss applications of the concept for awareness services in mobile peer to peer social networks, which exhibit a vivid measurable social micro dynamics in time and space.
