To Do

Dave’s Suggestions

• Look up publication venues and see if these types of work are the norm for those venues or the exception.
• Look up which professors at UVA are publishing in those venues and who would be a good fit to know about this area.
• Talk with Hongning Wang

Notes

From DHF

• Other uses for Evolving Graphs
  • Library taxonomies
  • SNAC as archival collections connected by people referenced in them.
  • Historical applications (Ex: protestant relations/connections across the revolution, from Kate here at DHF2014—she should email me soon)
• Prof to look into
  • Jeffrey Heer

Make sure to include in the presentation:

1. List a selection of publications that have already been done
2. List the upcoming and hopeful publications for the future:
   • In the list of future plan items, say where they are hoped to be published and when they are anticipated to be done
3. Include lots of related work (outside UVA)

Other Notes:

• Be ready to field detailed and in-depth questions about what you’re doing, what you plan to do, and what others are doing

Questions

• What are some unexpected things you’ve run into? Unexpected challenges?

Notes on Research and Related

Other applications

1. Electricity coming into a home looks like a DAG (power leaving grid, multiple large panel boxes per building, and then smaller panel boxes, then at the end the individual appliances hanging off them). This DAG will change over time as new items are plugged in and as new buildings are brought into the grid.
