It has been designed for researchers in social sciences Рsociology and history Рand is based on an interactive process with multiple views. MatrixExplorer design comes from several interviews with researchers and a participatory design session that helped us assess users need in term of visualization and exploration of social networks. MatrixExplorer provides two representations for graphs: matrices and nodelink diagrams. Exploration starts from a matrix representation to preserve readability and provides an iterative process to filter and organize the graph to reveal a structure and abstract it so that it can eventually be visualized as a readable node-link diagram.}, publisher = {ACM}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/matrixexplorer-un-systeme-pour-lanalyse-exploratoire-de-reseaux-sociaux/}, edition = {In Proceedings of the 18th International Conference of the Association Francophone d'Interaction Homme-Machine (IHM'06)}, }
