Many complex networked systems exhibit volatile dynamic interactions among their vertices, whose order and persistence reverberate on the outcome of dynamical processes taking place on them. To quantify and characterize the similarity of…

In temporal ( event-based ) networks, time is a continuous axis, with real-valued time coordinates for each node and edge. Computing a layout for such graphs means embedding the node trajectories and edge surfaces over time in a 2D+t space,…
