VITA Network Analysis Tool: Enhancing Information Discovery and Search Efficiency

VITA is a powerful visual front-end system for document search systems, facilitating relationship discovery, reducing search complexity, and allowing user-controlled results presentation. This tool is intended to be engine-independent and offers various prototypes for efficient data analysis. Gravity clustering and groupings can be achieved through quantized use of the 3rd dimension. The tool features a general layout mechanism and quantized 3rd dimension for detailed analysis and categorization.

  11. Originally [web] search and KM • But the gravity can cluster and group other items. • N.B. the quantized use of the 3rd dimension [height above the floor]

  12. Concepts 3 fixed planes Extracts web pages VITA General Layout Mechanism

  13. Quantized 3rd dimension—say— For a collection of suspect emails about something perhaps quite innocuous. • “To” level • “From” level • Body level Traffic analysis should ID cells of activity Perhaps identify a single text thread

  14. Other possible floorings • Time [datestamp] level • To-from level • Keyword level

  15. Or, network protection • From • To • Sites

  16. Common Fate • Who’s attached most strongly to whom? • Who’s pinging whom? • Who’s pinging many? • Or, who’s being pinged by many?
