ABSTRACT
Social communities play an important role in many domains. While a lot of attention has been given to developing efficient methods for detecting and analyzing social communities, it still remains a great challenge to provide intuitive search interfaces for end-users who wish to discover and explore such communities. Trying to fill the gaps, in this demonstration we present Microcosm: a holistic solution for visual discovery, exploration and analysis of social communities.

Vizster: Visualizing Online Social Networks
INFOVIS '05: Proceedings of the Proceedings of the 2005 IEEE Symposium on Information VisualizationRecent years have witnessed the dramatic popularity of online social networking services, in which millions of members publicly articulate mutual "friendship" relations. Guided by ethnographic research of these online communities, we have designed and ...
TouchViz: (multi)touching multivariate data
CHI EA '13: CHI '13 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIn this paper we describe TouchViz, an information visualization system for tablets that encourages rich interaction, exploration, and play through references to physical models. TouchViz turns data into physical objects that experience forces and ...
A novel distributed scheme for building spontaneous social communities over manets
MASS '12: Proceedings of the 2012 IEEE 9th International Conference on Mobile Ad-Hoc and Sensor Systems (MASS)This paper presents a novel distributed scheme for the dynamic construction and management of spontaneous social communities (SSCs) of mobile users in ad hoc networks. A novel model for SSCs that captures their unique dynamic nature, in terms of ...
