TEMPORAL VISUALIZATION ALGORITHM FOR RECOGNIZING AND OPTIMIZING ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

摘要

A system is provided that takes as input the interrelationships which are observed between identified resources, and automatically generates interactive movies that depict a visualization of the of the interaction patterns among the identified resources. Each resource is represented as a dot. A line between two dots indicates a relationship. The closer the two dots are placed together, the more intensive is their relationship, that is, the more commonality or interaction those resources share. Further, the most active resources, namely the resources that have the most relational links or lines extending therefrom, are placed in the center of the network. Once the visualization movie has been built, a user can search for groupings of related resources by simply searching for and identifying the various clusters within the network.
