[net.wanted] Diagramming Techniques for a Network

alt@hercules.UUCP (Al Tabayoyon) (02/19/86)

I have been doing some research in the two dimensional presentation of
a network (particularly a directed acyclic graph).  I am interested
in learning about other people's efforts in developing software that
will display a network in a "readable" form.  Yes, what makes a network
readable?  Probably a layout procedure that attempts to minimize the
number of crossed lines.

If you have any information, or can give me leads to people or research
papers that deal with this problem, I would appreciate your effort
in relaying that information to me.  Thank you for you interest.
