Abstract

With the rapid development of social network websites, the need for social network analysis has been increasing dramatically. Visualization is a very powerful tool in social network analysis. Tom Sawyer Perspectives is an advanced visualization software package and it integrates several visualization techniques including interactive visualization, data filtering, semantic zooming, search, animation and combination of multiple views. We propose to use a composite solution in social network analysis, present a case study of using Tom Sawyer Perspectives and validate its effectiveness.
