Abstract
This paper presents various methods for visualization and analysis of email networks; visualization on the surface of a sphere to reveal communication patterns between different groups, a hierarchical drawing displaying the centrality analysis of nodes to emphasize important nodes, a 2.5D visualization for temporal email networks to analyze the evolution of email relationships changing over time, and an ambient display for finding social circles derived from the email network. Each method was evaluated with various data sets from a research organization. We also extended our method for visual analysis of an email virus network.
