Visual Informatics for Social Network and Mobile Flow. 3 credits, 3 contact hours

Catalog description

Prerequisite: IS 665 or equivalent. Nowadays, computational scientists are using network and flow to explore and analyze relationships among spatial objects. In the meantime, more and more virtual networks, such as Facebook and Twitter, have spatial characteristics which bring researchers opportunity to study spatial pattern of virtual network elements such as information diffusion and human behavior across space. This course will focus on substantive themes within network and flow. Visual informatics will be covered in this course followed by several case studies.
