Introduction to DiNA: An Extendable Web-application for Directed Network Analysis

摘要

A new web-application is presented that can be used to easily express basic properties of directed graphs and run some rather complex algorithms on them. The application builds up from two distinct parts. i.) It contains a core package written in plain Java representing the graph and implementing the algorithms and ii.) it has a web user interface with which it become easy to call methods of the core package. Both the core package and the web-interface were developed in a modular way making it easy to add new algorithms or even to run pre-implemented algorithms of already well-known graph analyzer tools. At the current state of the work we are implementing new algorithms and extending the features of the web user interface. The application is available at http://dina.inf.unideb.hu/.
