  6. Outline • A Quick Overview of Research • What is the NWB Tool? • Using the NWB Tool for Scientometrics • Using the NWB Tool for Discrete Network Dynamics • Built using CIShell

  7. A Quick Overview of Research • Social Science, Scientometrics, Economics, Proteomics, and Epidemiology

  8. Social Science • Studying large scale social networks such as Wikipedia. • Viszards 2007 Entry Second Sight: An Emergent Mosaic of Wikipedian Activity The New Scientist, May 19, 2007

  9. 113 Years of Physical Review • Citation Patterns Across the History of Physics

  10. Scientometrics • Studying science by scientific means.

  11. Proteomics • Protein-Protein Interactions

  12. Economics • Does the Type of Product that a Country Exports Matter for Subsequent Economic Performance?

  13. Epidemiology • Forecasting (and preventing the effects of) the next pandemic.

  14. What is the NWB Tool? • A network analysis, modeling, and visualization toolkit for physics, biomedical, and social science Research

  15. But first, Why is the NWB Tool?

  16. Data • Different Formats • Different Models • Algorithms • Different Purposes • Different Implementations • Different Programming Languages • Different Communities with Different Practices • Different Tools

  17. So, the NWB Tool can work with . . .

  18. Data • Different Formats • Different Models • Algorithms • Different Purposes • Different Implementations • Different Programming Languages • Different Communities with Different Practices • Different Tools

  19. File Formats • GraphML • XGMML • Pajek .net • Pajek .mat • NWB • TreeML • Edgelist • CSV • ISI

  20. Java Object ‘Formats’ • Prefuse Alpha • Prefuse Beta • JUNG

  21. We Do It Like This

  22. A Few Features • Windows, Linux, OS X • Write algorithms in Fortran, Java, C++, Jython, or something else • Many algorithms work with large networks • Integrates the excellent GUESS visualization tool • Automatic data conversion • Integrated 2D plotting via Gnuplot

  23. Using the NWB Tool for Scientometrics • Co-Authorship, Burst Detection, Et Cetera

  24. Go From Here

  25. To Here

  26. In a few minutes.In a general way.

  27. Using the NWB Tool for Discrete Network Dynamics

  28. Built Using CIShell • A General Framework For Integrating Algorithms and Data

  29. Algorithms are Simple

  30. No Networks There...

  31. No networks means moving among data representations is easy.

  32. Thank you. NSF IIS-0513650 award
