The objective of this project is to visualize a network (large networks of >2000 nodes) in a way that the distance of a node from the rest of the network is determined by the number of nodes it is connected to => the more neighbors a node has the larger is its distance from the network. The component must allow zooming in/out, selection by the number of neighbors, coloring by various thresholds and other graph-related features.

Introduction

Force Directed Network is obtained by using the Force-directed graph drawing algorithms(SPRING ALGORITHM). This algorithm is mainly based on the forces assigned among the set of nodes and edges of a graph.The forces can be either atractive which is used to attract pairs of endpoints of the graph's edges towards each other or repulsive which is used to seperate all pairs of nodes.In equilibrium states for this system of forces,the edges tend to have uniform length(using spring forces) and the nodes which are not connected by any edge tend to be drawn further apart(due to electrical repulsion).

Roadmap for Implementation

Cytoscape Worker API :

https://github.com/cytoscape/cytoscape.js/blob/unstable/src/worker.js

First Week(21.11.2014 - 27.11.2014)

  • Learned about the concept of force directed graph and the algorithms.
  • Deciding on the libraries to be used for the implementation
  • Understood how spring layout works.
  • Tried working with tools like Gephi in which we can visualize the network data.
  • Got acquainted with our mentors.

Second Week(28.11.2014 - 4.12.2014)

  • Explored about cytoscape and went through the list of issues sent by Max.
  • Understood the goals that Max wanted us to implement.
  • Defined the Milestone Plan.
  • Decide on the Approach to parallelize code.
  • Started working on web workers.
  • Got Clarified the doubts related to web workers from Max's implementation.
  • Started exploring about benchmark.js and parallel.js

Third Week(5.12.2014 - 12.12.2014)

  • Did parallelisation using circle layout with the web workers implementation

Github repository: https://github.com/Ahsanzia/FDG

  • Started working on the web worker implementation for spread layout

Fourth Week(13.12.2014 - 18.12.2014)

Report, work on Spread Layout Algorithm. Some functions parallelized if possible.

  • Worked on visualization of 3000 nodes and corresponding edges using different features:
    • Different layouts
    • Zooming enabled and disabled
    • Calculating the time for rendering of the layout.
    • Getting all the nodes that are connected to a particular node on selection of a particular node

Github repository:https://github.com/Vasantha4940/DataVisualization

The following visualizations use spread layout.

Fig1.7:TIme taken to visualize 1200 nodes: 2425ms
Fig1.8:TIme taken to visualize 1400 nodes: 3127ms
Fig1.9:TIme taken to visualize 1600 nodes: 3846ms
Fig1.10:TIme taken to visualize 1800 nodes: 4840ms
Fig1.11:TIme taken to visualize 2000 nodes: 5988ms
Fig1.12:TIme taken to visualize 2200 nodes: 7069 ms
Fig1.13:TIme taken to visualize 2400 nodes: 8547ms
Fig1.14:TIme taken to visualize 2600 nodes: 9350ms
Fig1.15:TIme taken to visualize 2800 nodes: 10992ms
Fig1.16:TIme taken to visualize 3000 nodes: 11705ms








The following graph shows the relationship between the nodes and time taken to visualize it.

Fig1.17:Graph showing relationship between nodes and the corresponding time taken to visualize it without using the web workers

Fifth Week(19.12.2014 - 29.12 .2014)

  • Went through the documentation of web workers
  • Implement simple web worker for testing purpose
  • Implement one worker for a circle lay out in cytoscape.js

Sixth Week(30.12.2014 - 05.01 .2015)

  • Implemented the web workers for the Spread layout.
  • Working on the benchmarking of the Spread layout

In order to optimize the performance in terms of the time taken to visualize a large network of more than 2000 nodes,we can use web workers.Web workers are mainly based on the concept like parallel processing in web.They work by splitting the tasks across different workers without affecting the actual UI.
