While graph drawing focuses more on the aesthetic representation of node-link diagrams,
graph visualization takes into account other visual metaphors making them useful for graph …

The goal of any modeling activity is a complete and accurate understanding of the real-world
domain, within the bounds of the problem at hand and keeping in mind the goals of the …

Adjacency matrices or DSMs (design structure matrices) and node-link diagrams are both
visual representations of graphs, which are a common form of data in many disciplines …

Eye-tracking equipment is used to assess how well a subject comprehends UML class
diagrams. The results of a study are presented in which eye movements are captured in a …

Abstract Models play an important role in Systems Analysis and Design (SAD). A
diagrammatic model is defined as a mapping from a domain to a visual representation in …

Using different methods for laying out a graph can lead to very different visual appearances,
with which the viewer perceives different information. Selecting a “good” layout method is …

In visualizing graphs as node-link diagrams, it is commonly accepted and employed as a
general rule that the number of link crossings should be minimized whenever possible …

Over the last 50 years a wide variety of automatic network layout algorithms have been
developed. Some are fast heuristic techniques suitable for networks with hundreds of …

We present new guidelines for choosing hyperparameters for t-SNE and an evaluation
comparing these guidelines to current ones. These guidelines include a proposed …

Different layouts can characterize different aspects of the same graph. Finding a “good”
layout of a graph is thus an important task for graph visualization. In practice, users often …
