Talk about Study Thesis - Slides and Movie

Posted on 2006-08-02 19:43 by Timo Bingmann at Permlink with 0 Comments. Tags: #compsci study thesis #graphviz #university #talk

At the University of Karlsruhe it is common to give a concluding talk after finishing a study thesis (Studienarbeit). I presented my study thesis "Visualisation of Very Large Graphs" today at the mid-day seminar of the Theoretical Computer Science Group. The slides of the talk are available as PDFs below:

studythesis-talk-visualisation.pdf (1.6 MB) - also available with two slides per page (1.6 MB)or four slides per page (1.6 MB).

During the talk I showed a movie, in which a r-tree of the autobahnen of Germany is constructed incrementally. I actually produced two movies for this purpose: in the first the edges are added in a given sequential order and in the second the order is randomized. Both movies are encoded using transcode and the XviD codec.

Sequential Movie (3.6 MB)
Randomized Movie (5.1 MB)

The talk was received very well, and I may continue in this field with my diploma thesis.

The visualisation library is used by a route planning algorithm developed at the Theoretical Computer Science Group. By integrating my study thesis it was possible to create a Java web applet which animates the route planning algorithm. The Java applet is currently available at http://algo2.iti.uni-karlsruhe.de/schultes/hwy/demo/.
