VisuaLyzer for SNA and visualization(Software)
VisuaLyzer combines numerous visualization and analysis functions. It has been praised by users regarding its (e.g., : http://netmap.ifpriblog.org/2008/05/25/visualizing-networks-online-for-km4dev) functionality and usability.

VisuaLyzer allows flexible and unlimited definition and specification of types of nodes, node attributes, types of links, and link attributes. It can display overlays of different node and edge attributes using various combinations of colors, shapes, and sizes, and can support various query mechanisms for the displayed network. For example, it supports queries based on the properties of dyads (pairs of nodes) in a network. It allows for nodes to be grouped and ungrouped for display. It provides X-Y plotting of networks based on any selected node attributes. Detailed descriptions of VisuaLyzer functionality are in the User Manual.

The VisuaLyzer installation package can be downloaded from: http://www.MDLogix.com/downloads/VisuaLyzer2.0setup.exe (Note: if installing in Windows Vista, the default installation directory needs to be changed to something like c:\MDLogix.)

VisuaLyzer has been widely used, with tens of thousands of copies downloaded. It continues to be downloaded and adopted by diverse clients, including SNA researchers, public health researchers, program managers, systems engineers, high school math teachers, marketing organizations, military analysts, newspaper reporters(to better understand their sources), and many others. It has been of particular interest to Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) working to improve aspects of public health in developing countries.
VisuaLyzer, EgoNet, LinkAlyzer(Software)
LinkAlyzer is a highly specialized program that supports users in defining and running matching algorithms to link smaller networks into larger networks, for example to combine egocentric networks into a regional sociometric network. It provides built-in support for managing sets of matching algorithms and datasets. It has been used with datasets with 100s of millions of potential matches.

EgoNET: EgoNET is a flexible tool that supports data collection for egocentric or personal networks by allowing researchers to author interviewing instruments, which can then be performed on a Windows computer. EgoNET is actually two Windows applications: EgoNET-QBuilder (for authoring of name generator interviews) and EgoNET-Client (for conducting interviews and collecting data). Each of these has functions that meet many prioritized researcher needs.

The EgoNET installation package can be downloaded from: http://www.MDLogix.com/downloads/EgoNet1.0setup.exe (Note: if installing in Windows Vista, the default installation directory needs to be changed to something like c:\MDLogix.)
