Visualisation of Social Networks Using CAVALIER

Social Network Analysis is an approach to analysing organisations focusing on relationships as the most important aspect. In this paper we discuss visualisation techniques for Social Network Analysis, including spring-embedding and simulated annealing techniques. We introduce a visualisation technique based on Kohonen neural networks, and also introduce social flow diagrams for demonstrating the relationship between two forms of conceptual distance. .
