Abstract

We study visualization methods for sharing knowledge pieces and relationships. Our purpose is to grasp informational structures readily. We develop algorithms based on a flocking model which simulates birds or fishes behavior in making a group. We implement two visualization systems for aesthetically draw diagrams of weak and strong structures (i.e. clusters and graphs). We evaluate performance of the systems.
