Commetrix a dynamic network visualization tool

While working at the CeBit, the world's largest IT related fair, I stumbled upon Commetrix, a dynamic network visualization tool, developed by researchers from TU Berlin. The software allows to import data from discussion groups, VoIP, eMail, blogs or social networking sites. Moreover, besides the usual functionality such as centrality, density or zoom, it allows for a timed-based observation of network growth and a parallel visualization of the content (e.g. emails). The latter somehow reminded me of tag clouds although in a much more sophisticated way. Matthias, the project manager, presented a demo of one of their case studies of an Enron email dataset to underline the potential of the tool. The software is only available in English. The possibilities and usabilities were pretty impressive. Though I it would be interesting to hear the opinion from an expert of software in that area. (Please comment)

Researchers who would be interested in getting a copy of the software or learning more about it should contact Matthias Trier. You should also be able to find some of their work presented at HICSS and Sunbelt online.

Where were they on the Cebit? I walked around for a day, saw many good stuff but looks liked I missed Matthias Trier...
