METHODS AND TOOLS FOR GRAPH VISUALIZATION IN DYNAMIC SYSTEMS: ANALYSIS AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDY

Graph visualization is a key tool for interpreting complex data in systems with dynamic relationships, such as transportation, computer, or social networks, where the underlying structure is continuously evolving. In such contexts, there is a growing need for adaptive visualization methods that can ensure clear, intuitive, and timely representation of structural changes. This paper analyzes force-directed graph layout methods, which simulate attractive and repulsive physical forces to determine vertex positions in a two-dimensional space, aiming to minimize the system’s energy function.
