我们提出了一个系统的可视化计算文献的合作模式，相关研究专业之间的相互作用和这些特征的演变，通过时间的重点。我们的计算文献可视化系统，有四个主要组成部分：一个映射的书目数据的关系模式，再加上一个关系数据库管理系统存储的关系数据，一个交互式的图形用户界面，允许查询和动态构建的图形，一个时间图布局算法，和一个交互式的可视化工具。我们使用了一种新的技术可视化的大型图形，随着时间的推移。给定一个动态图，布局算法生成每个时间片的二维表示，同时保留图从一个片到下一个片的心理地图。也可以查看和探索具有所有时间片的组合视图。在我们的分析中，我们使用来自计算机协会科学文献数字图书馆的数据，该图书馆包含超过十万篇研究论文和作者。我们的系统可以在http://tgrip.cs.arizona.edu上找到。
We present a system for the visualization of computing literature with an emphasis on collaboration patterns, interactions between related research specialties and the evolution of these characteristics through time. Our computing literature visualization system, has four major components: A mapping of bibliographical data to relational schema coupled with an RDBMS to store the relational data, an interactive GUI that allows queries and the dynamic construction of graphs, a temporal graph layout algorithm, and an interactive visualization tool. We use a novel technique for visualization of large graphs that evolve through time. Given a dynamic graph, the layout algorithm produces two-dimensional representations of each timeslice, while preserving the mental map of the graph from one slice to the next. A combined view, with all the timeslices can also be viewed and explored. For our analysis we use data from the Association of Computing Machinery's Digital Library of Scientific Literature which contains more than one hundred thousand research papers and authors. Our system can be found online at http://tgrip.cs.arizona.edu.
