Abstract
In this paper we present an object-oriented system for constructing interactive visualization of complex, hierarchical, and time-varying networks. Our system consists of three core components: a unified structure for the acquisition, storage, and query of network data; a C++ network base class for handling the common functionality in network visual interfaces; and a methodology for using Tcl/Tk to tie the network views together. Our system contains a suite of innovative network views. One of its main advantages is its open, unified, and efficient framework for customizing network views. We illustrate our system with two sample applications.Keywords
