Netsight is a tool for the visual exploratory data analysis of large-scale network and relational data sets. It uses the Java Universal Network/Graph (JUNG) library to represent, analyze, and visualize network data. Run Netsight using Java TM Web Start . Java Web Start is a deployment mechanism for Java applications over the Web that operates with a single click. When you click on the Run Netsight link, you will be prompted to open the file "netsight.jnlp" with Java Web Start* if you have it installed.
A social network is a social structure made up of a set of actors (such as individuals or organizations) and the dyadic ties between these actors (such as relationships, connections, or interactions). A social network perspective is employed to model the structure of a social group, how this structure influences other variables, or how structures change over time. [ 1 ] The study of these structures uses methods in social network analysis to identify influential nodes, local and global structures, and network dynamics. Social networks are distinct from information , biological , or electrical networks , but theories and methods generalizing to all of these complex networks are studied in the field of network science . [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Social networks and the analysis of them is an inherently interdisciplinary academic field which emerged from social psychology , sociology , statistics , and graph theory .
