@inproceedings { , title = {Visual techniques to support exploratory analysis of temporal graph data.}, abstract = {Recently, much research has focused on developing techniques for the visual representation of temporal graph data. This paper takes a wider look at the visual techniques involved in exploratory analysis of such data, considering the variety of sub tasks and contextual tasks required to understand change in a graph over time, and the visual techniques which are able to support these tasks. In so doing, we highlight a number of tasks which are less well supported by existing techniques, which could prove worthwhile avenues for future research.}, conference = {EuroVis '15}, doi = {10.2312/eurovisshort.20151133}, organization = {Cagliari, Spain}, pages = {103-107}, publicationstatus = {Published}, url = {http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/8910}, keyword = {006 Special Computer Methods, QA75 Electronic computers.
