    GEMS 2.0 is a follow-up of the GEMS – Graph Exploration and Manipulation on interactive Surfaces project, which was carried out from November 2012 until February 2016. Similar to its predecessor, GEMS 2.0 is a cooperation between the Interactive Media Lab Dresden at the Technische Universität Dresden and the Chair of Computer Graphics (VC²G) at the University of Rostock.

    Graphs are universally relevant in many application domains, such as communication, transportation, biology, and climatology. In these domains, there is an increasing demand for methods and tools that do not only support working with a graph’s structure, that is, its nodes and edges, but also with numerous data attributes that may be associated with the graph. Understanding such multivariate graphs comprehensively is a significant challenge for the people working with them.

    Working with data usually means analyzing them. Interactive visual analysis has proved to be an effective mean to gain insight into data. Yet, there is more to working with graphs than understanding basic information of their structure and attributes. In this proposal, we plan to study how classic exploratory graph analysis can be advanced to include comparative analysis of multiple graphs and the possibility to directly edit a graph’s nodes and edges as well as its associated attributes when necessary.
