The winners of the "Competition on visualizing network dynamics”

The winning entries of the Netsci “Competition on visualizing network dynamics” are posted here. The winning entry, by Aaron Koblin of UCLA, is a representation of flight data from the FAA. It is truly stunning in its elegance and beauty—something that even non network types would enjoy watching.

There are many worthy runner-ups. One I would highlight is the entry by Bender-deMoll, McFarland, and Moody, which shows the interactions patterns within a classroom, using the network visualization software SoNIA. It was particularly powerful, I think, in conveying the importance of timing and sequence in a communication network.

Those network visualizations are quite pretty... a real-time network viz would make a great screen saver.

Great blog by the way... I'm fascinated by how social networks are so pervasive in our everyday lives.
