Abstract:
Data visualization and analysis has become vital in both knowledge discovery and presenting and explaining that knowledge to others. As such, the goal of this project was to implement a web based tool for the researchers studying propagation of information using network-based models. The tool was designed with ease of use and extensibility in mind and as such, it is a simple yet powerful tool which allows researchers to generate dynamic visualizations of network flow data they are working with. It was developed as a Polymer project with the intention of publishing it as a reusable web component. The end result of this is a simple but powerful visualization tool for researchers and an easy to integrate web component for the developers of geographic information systems (GIS).
