Abstract:
Website visualization is an important research topic in data analytics that has its practical applications in performance management reports and navigational problem diagnosis. Researchers from their previous works studied different forms of visualization mainly as 3D linked graphs. In this paper, we propose an innovative tree model that represents website structures as radial and concentric circles of nodes, and users’ interactions with the websites as staggered threads. These two types of visualization, when used together, effectively express the growth of a website in a static view and the usage of its services in a dynamic view respectively. Furthermore, the proposed techniques could be placed collectively together for visualizing websites comparatively across different countries or regions as an ecosystem of forest of trees. This paper presents this new concept as well as the features of the custom-made simulator programmed in Java.
