METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DISPLAYING NETWORK INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of displaying a network structure using force-directed layout wherein the network includes a plurality of nodes each node including an associated slack parameter having a value, said method comprising:
- selecting a central time-directed axis;
positioning each network node along the axis using the associated slack parameter value of the network node to determine a distance from the central time-directed axis; and
applying force-directed computations to sets of concurrent nodes.

Abstract
Methods and systems for displaying a network structure using force-directed layout are provided. The network includes a plurality of nodes, each node including an associated slack parameter having a value. The method including selecting a central time-directed axis, positioning each network node along the axis using the associated slack parameter value of the network node to determine a distance from the central time-directed axis, and applying force-directed computations to sets of concurrent nodes.

15. A system for displaying a network structure comprising:
-
a database embodied on a computer readable media, said database comprising data relating to a feed forward network and force-directed layout computations for the network; and a processor configured to receive data from said database, said processor comprising; a sequencing component configured to partition the feed-forward network into sets of concurrent nodes; and a layout management component configured to simulate the application of forces to each set of concurrent nodes to determine the spatial arrangement of the sets of nodes. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

- 19. A computer readable medium encoded with a program configured to instruct a computer to display a network structure using force-directed layout wherein the network includes a plurality of nodes positioned along a central time-directed axis using a slack parameter value associated with each node to determine a distance of respective nodes from the central time-directed axis.
