Social Network Analysis Software
a) PC
-> UCInet
-> Pajek: There is also a very helpful book out written by the programmers, that explains the theoretical concepts and shows in screenshots and commands how to use the statistical routines in Pajek: Exploratory Social Network Analysis with Pajek (Structural Analysis in the Social Sciences) (Paperback) by Wouter de Nooy , Andrej Mrvar , Vladimir Batagelj (2005).
-> Netminer: Software for exploratory data analysis and visualization
-> Siena: Software for the analysis of repeated (longitudinal and dynamic) network data
-> Visone
-> Multinet: MultiNet is an interactive computer program for the analysis and display of discrete and continuous network data. Especially useful for complex data and more advanced methods such as p*.
-> R module for Social Network Analysis
b) Mac
-> Running UCInet using the Virtual PC works pretty good, except for those times when you are in the presentation mode.
-> Visone
Network Visualization
= Representation of social distances as physical distances
-> GraphViz: Graph Visualization Software
-> GUESS: Network Visualization Software by HP Information Dynamics Lab, Author: Eytan Adar
-> Keyplayer: Program for identifying an optimal set of nodes in a network
-> Krackplot
-> Mage: Designed to visualize and represent complex protein structures in 3-D format
-> Netdraw: Part of Ucinet
-> Netminer
-> Pajek
All listed softwares above can be used for data analysis and representation. They are using iterative optimization algorithms to adjust a node's position by reacting to the positions of others in the network.
