Abstract
In this chapter, we describe tasks that are typically encountered during visual multivariate network analysis. First, we present an overview of the entities and properties of multivariate networks and discuss a taxonomy for general visualization tasks. We next describe a framework for multivariate network tasks and show how these tasks can be composed of lower-level tasks of the general taxonomy. We also include several real-world examples of multivariate network tasks as illustrations.
