Network Visualization Techniques

Network visualization techniques are methods used to visually represent complex connections among entities, such as people, computers, or organizations. They use diagrams with nodes (points) to represent entities and edges (lines) to show relationships or interactions. Techniques like force-directed layouts help organize the diagram so related nodes cluster together naturally, making patterns and important hubs easier to identify. These visualizations help people understand how networks function, identify key players, and spot potential issues or opportunities within the interconnected system. They are essential tools in fields like social network analysis, cybersecurity, and business intelligence.
