Abstract:
"The analysis of large graphs plays a prominent role in various
fields of research and is relevant in many important application
areas. Effective visual analysis of graphs requires appropriate visual
presentations in combination with respective user interaction facilities
and algorithmic graph analysis methods." [Landesberger]
The CERN Collaboration Spotting project is developing a suite of tools
that aims at providing users with an environment that addresses the
above issues. The software can address any kind of data sources. The
multi-dimensional network of data under analysis is stored in a graph
database and user interactions and visualization are all based on
on-line computation of interactive graphs. Such a software must be very
responsive, irrespective of the size of the dataset being addressed.
This calls for a lot of computing power and performance strategy for the
two main components of the software - The graph DB and the on-line graph
processing - specially when servicing concurrently many interactive
users. The concepts and features of the project illustrated by examples
using publication and patent datasets, and LHCb data processing data
will be presented and discussed.
