After learning the basics of R, I decided to learn something harder last week. I picked Social Network Analysis (SNA) to learn the concepts of SNA and R. My primary interest in SNA is visual exploration of networks, so I needed to find a tool first.
Which tool to use for visual SNA? Features needed: 1) graphical representation of network 2) visually navigate the graph (zoom in/out, drag) to explore large graphs 3) manipulate the graph (filter nodes, edit/delete/group nodes and same for edges) 4) free, preferably open source. I found out that R has good libraries like SNA (checkout Drew Conway's tutorial) and iGraph (see this tutorial) for social network analysis.
So I continued my hunt for a good tool for visual SNA and discovered Gephis, an open source app for visual exploration. WARNING: SNA with Gephis is addictive. After you download Gephi, checkout Gephi quick start guide to get your bearings. Gephi Features Tour from gephi on Vimeo. Web rendition of these graphs is also possible.

Schemaball is a flexible schema visualizer for SQL databases.
The purpose of Schemaball is to help visualize the relationships between tables. Tables are related by foreign keys, which are fields which store the value of a record field from another table. Foreign keys create a lookup relationship between two tables. Large schemas can have hundreds of tables and table relationships. Figure | A MySQL schema of our sequencing LIMS database. Schemaball produces images called schema balls.
Schemaball is free software, licensed under GPL. I am not longer actively working on Schemaball. Schemaball was published in SysAdmin Magazine (Krzywinski, M. I've since been using the circular composition form in my Circos project, which applies this layout to visualizing genomes (Circos is particularly popular in the field of comparative genomes, in which relationships between two or more genomes are analyzed and displayed).

Citations. Questions containing 'graph' Model Created to Map Energy Use in NYC Buildings | The Fu Foundation School of Engineering & Applied Science - Columbia University. Cities across the globe are trying to develop plans to cut down their energy consumption and lower their carbon footprint by reducing the associated greenhouse gas emissions.
While initial efforts have focused on individual buildings by incorporating more energy efficient lighting, windows, and building systems, deeper reductions will call for changes beyond individual buildings, requiring a rethinking of how future infrastructure and energy policies should evolve. A new study by Columbia Engineering School will help urban planners, policy makers, and engineers understand the local dynamics of building energy use in New York City—where over two-thirds of the energy consumption is from buildings—and help jumpstart the exchange of ideas. “The lack of information about building energy use is staggering,” said the study’s lead author Bianca Howard, a Ph.D. student in mechanical engineering at Columbia Engineering. “This is a critical issue,” said Modi.

Talk about heat maps, and most people will assume you're referring to a map with colours used to represent intensity of something like poverty or crime. This new map - published his morning by the Department for Energy and Climate Change - is much more literal than that.
It really is a heat map. Created by the Centre for Sustainable Energy, it mashes together several very detailed datasets to show heat use at building level. It has a pretty specific purpose - local authorities have been mapping heat use to work out which areas would be suitable for local heat networks. Individual heat generation, through boilers, is responsible for the bulk of residential carbon emissions, so know where the densest areas are is useful. But it has a wider interest too - by merging the locations of every publicly-owned building, and heat use at a really local level, the maps give us a view of the whole country never seen before.

LOTR Timeline Graph. The ever-hilarious xkcd featured a comic which was very much a visualization. It was a chart showing the interactions between characters from a handful of movies. The comic was the kick I needed to do a quick experiment with timeline-based graph visualizations. Here's the result. It's a bit of a mess, but what I've done is synchronize three components: a slider, the original comic from xkcd, and the graph visualization. You can use the slider grip or the buttons to move through the story. As time passes (or unpasses), the graph automatically shifts to reflect the data for the current time step. There's a lot more work that could be done to make the changes more obvious and less disorienting. ".. and you add places as they appear in groups .. geography reversed" I had a quick back and forth with Dr.
The comic's visualization was portraying character interactions but since they didn't have phones in middle earth, it wasn't too hard to associate these interactions with locations.

Flare | Data Visualization for the Web. Moebio.com | Santiago Ortiz portfolio. Network Visualization. Immersion by the MIT Media Lab is a view into your inbox that shows who you interact with via email over the years.
Immersion is an invitation to dive into the history of your email life in a platform that offers you the safety of knowing that you can always delete your data.Just like a cubist painting, Immersion presents users with a number of different perspectives of their email data. It provides a tool for self-reflection at a time where the zeitgeist is one of self-promotion. It provides an artistic representation that exists only in the presence of the visitor. It helps explore privacy by showing users data that they have already shared with others.
Finally, it presents users wanting to be more strategic with their professional interactions, with a map to plan more effectively who they connect with. The base view is a network diagram where each node represents someone you've exchanged email with. Network Visualization. While we're on the topic of academic papers and how they're linked, Johan Bollen et. al used clickstream data to draw detailed maps of science, from the point of view of those actually reading the papers. That is, instead of relying on citations, they used log data on how readers request papers, in the form of a billion user interactions on various web portals. Maps of science derived from citation data visualize the relationships among scholarly publications or disciplines. They are valuable instruments for exploring the structure and evolution of scholarly activity. Much like early world charts, these maps of science provide an overall visual perspective of science as well as a reference system that stimulates further exploration.

Abstract 1 Introduction. The Open Graph protocol. Babuinobot. What is Babuino? Babuino is a software program that combines the power of the Arduino hardware platform with the intuitive and fun Logo programming language using a click and drag GUI interface. This allows even young children to build their own programs and run them on a microcontroller. The program on the left uses only 5 blocks to make a speaker beep whenever a button is pressed. Any child that can operate a mouse, fit simple puzzle pieces together, and has basic language skills can learn to program.
Even if the child can't read, they will quickly learn to recognize the words and shapes. The Babuinobot is a robot that uses the Arduino microcontroller to run the Babuino software which allows the robot to be programmed using CTI Blocos, a block based Logo programming environment. What is so Special About the Babuinobot? It's Affordable Free Open Source Software All of the software mentioned in this website for programming the Babuinobot is free, as in "you do not need to pay for it. " Visual Programming Arduino: modkit and the others | dev.SquareCows.com. Not long ago, our friend [Ed Baafi] told us about the amazing work he was doing on ModKit: a very interesting project in bringing visual programming on the Arduino side. Making programming as easy as building bricks is the common Quest of many different projects, aimed to work in the Educational field, teaching kids build their own programs (and toys).
Modkit is an in-browser graphical programming environment for little devices called embedded systems. Modkit can currently program Arduino and Arduino compatible hardware using simple graphical blocks similar to and heavily inspired by the Scratch programming environment developed by the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab.Modkit is currently available by invite only. Brian’s post has a good review about all the other arduino visual programmers. I’ll try to update and add some expreriences to this list (thanks Brian!)
