Abstract

The structure of a social network is time-dependent, as relationships between entities change in time. In large networks, static or animated visualizations are often insufficient to capture all the information about the interactions between people over time, which could be captured better by interactive interfaces. We propose a novel system for exploring the interactions of entities over time, and support it with an application that displays interactions of public figures at events.
