The development of crowd intelligence makes the structure of social network more complex

The development of crowd intelligence makes the structure of social network more complex and changeable. Research on social network should be more in-depth and focus on the changes of structure. Ego-network, which represents the relationship between specific individual and the related people, is a hot issue among the research of dynamic social network. The evolution of ego-network is highly dynamic and pluralistic, it is hard to capture its evolutionary pattern over time. To help users analyze the individual characteristics and hidden patterns in multivariate ego-network, we present EgoVis, an interactive visual analysis system for exploring and analyzing complex structural relationships in dynamic network. Based on the task requirements of network evolution analysis, we propose a task taxonomy which is suitable for ego-network research and analysis, design novel visual fonts, and analyze the evolution of dynamic ego-network relations from the three dimensions: overview, subgroup, and detail-ego. Finally, the validity and practicability of EgoVis are verified on DBLP citation network dataset.
