Abstract

We propose a visualization approach for large dynamic graph structures with high degree variation and low diameter. In particular, we reduce visual complexity by multiple modes of representation in a single-level visualization rather than abstractions of lower levels of detail. This is useful for non-interactive display and eases dynamic layout, which we address in the online scenario.
Our approach is illustrated on a family of large networks featuring all of the above structural characteristics, the physical Internet on the autonomous systems level over time.
