visone - visual analysis of social networks(Software)
visone (ital. for mink) is free software written in Java and running on Linux, MacOS, and Windows machines.

It features various standard and non-standard methods for analysis and visualization of networks, and a powerful graphical user interface. It's native file format is GraphML, allowing for arbitrarily many attributes of nodes, links, and networks, but other formats such as CSV tables, UCINet DL, Pajek .net, etc. can be imported. Visualizations can be exported as pdf, png, tiff, svg, or Windows metafiles.

Sunbelt XXIX - March 10 to March 15, 2009 - Bahia Hotel
Abstract : Spring Embedder vs. MDS
Spring embedders, in particular the variant of Fruchterman & Reingold, appear to be the most frequently used layout algorithms for network visualization. We present results of an extensive experimental study indicating that certain multidimensional scaling approaches available in many network analysis tools are to be preferred. In fact, these differ only slightly from those used for the very first automatic layouts of social networks some 40 years ago.
Sunbelt XXX - June 29 to July 04, 2010 - Riva del Garda Fierecongressi
Workshop : visone - Analysis and Visualization of Social Networks
This is a hands-on introduction to visone, a graphically oriented software tool that combines comprehensive means for analysis with unique visualization capabilities.

Content:
After a brief introduction to its design and features, we will explore some of the core functionality of visone using exemplary network analyses; step-by-step from data input to presentation of results.

Target audience:
Researchers, students, and practioners. Some elementary knowledge of social network analysis is required, and it is advisable to bring a laptop running Windows, MacOS, or Linux.
