SocNetV version 1.9 is here, with LU decomposition and a Qt showcase!

Another release has just emerged from the depths of the Social Network Visualizer project! The new version 1.9 fixes important bugs and brings a vastly improved matrix inverse algorithm, thanks to the newly implemented LU decomposition. Of course, the new algorithm speeds up all other routines which depend on the inverse of a matrix, such as the Information Centrality algorithm.

Also, SocNetV v1.9 brings a revamped -and corrected- PageRank Prestige routine. Up to v1.8, the PageRank algorithm was using the original Page&Brin formula which lead to somewhat different results compared to other SNA applications. From this version, SocNetV uses the correct formula and computes comparable results (yes, we tested :)).

Source code, Windows zipped executables, Mac OS image and binary packages for major Linux distributions are as always available from the project’s Downloads page. Have fun with the new release!

Also, I am happy to report that the Qt project has added SocNetV to its ‘showroom’ page, along with many other nice Qt applications. There is also a showroom page dedicated to SocNetV with nice screenshots and a brief description of the application. Kudos to Kojo Tero, of Qt Company, for this!

    I;ve just started to use your software, but one thing make me wonder. Do you plan to add SVG export option in the future releases?

  2. Yes. Export to SVG will be added soon.
