Researchers at the “Institut fur Mathematik und Informatik” have released a new software project called VANLO, for Visualization of Aligned Networks with Layout Optimization.
In addition to displaying the intra-network connectivities, we also provide insightinto how the individual networks relate to each other by placing aligned entities on top of each other in separatelayers. We optimize the layout of the entire alignment graph in a global fashion that takes into account inter- aswell as intra-network relationships.
The layout algorithm includes a step of merging aligned networks into onegraph, laying out the graph with respect to application-specific requirements, splitting the merged graph againinto individual networks, and displaying the network alignment in layers. In addition to representing the data ina static way, we also provide different interaction techniques to explore the data with respect toapplication-specific tasks.
