Abstract
The talk will survey 14 years of our group’s work on graph drawing. It will start with a simulated annealing algorithm we developed in 1989, that works well for graphs with 20–40 nodes, but has severe problems for larger graphs. It will culminate with extremely powerful multi-scale and algebraic approaches developed in the last few years that produce beautiful renditions of million-node graphs in very reasonable time. The work was done with Ron Davidson, Gregory Yashchin, Ronny Hadany, Liran Carmel and Yehuda Koren.
