Abstract
The emergence of multilayer networks as a concept from the field of complex
systems provides many new opportunities for the visualization of network
complexity, and has also raised many new exciting challenges. The multilayer
network model recognizes that the complexity of relationships between
entities in real-world systems is better embraced as several interdependent
subsystems (or layers) rather than a simple graph approach. Despite only
recently being formalized and defined, this model can be applied to problems
in the domains of life sciences, sociology, digital humanities, and more.
Within the domain of network visualization there already are many existing
systems, which visualize data sets having many characteristics of multilayer
networks, and many techniques, which are applicable to their visualization.
In this Synthesis Lecture, we provide an overview and structured analysis of
contemporary multilayer network visualization. This is not only for
researchers in visualization, but also for those who aim to visualize
multilayer networks in the domain of complex systems, as well as those
solving problems within application domains. We have explored the
visualization literature to survey visualization techniques suitable for
multilayer network visualization, as well as tools, tasks, and analytic
techniques from within application domains. We also identify the research
opportunities and examine outstanding challenges for multilayer network
visualization along with potential solutions and future research directions
for addressing them.
