Dear All,

The VisuaLyzer Development team at Medical Decision Logic, Inc. is
pleased to announce the release of VisuaLyzer 1.1.

VisuaLyzer is an interactive tool for entering, visualizing and
analyzing network data. You can create nodes and links directly in
VisuaLyzer, or import network data from edgelist/edgearray, Excel, or
GraphML formats. Once the network is displayed in VisuaLyzer, you can
customize visual properties such as the color, shape, size, and
location of nodes and links to create an informative graphic
representation. Images of your choice can be used to represent nodes.
XY mapping of nodes as a function of node /attributes is supported in
layered layout.

VisuaLyzer also provides a number of analysis functions for
calculating network and nodal level indices, and for finding
sub-groups, partitions, communities, and roles and positions. You can
query VisuaLyzer to locate nodes and links that fulfill specific
criteria. In addition, VisuaLyzer includes powerful logic programming
capabilities that allow you to investigate networks using axioms of
classical set theory (further functions are under development and
testing). Data can be exported to UCINET, Excel, and GraphML formats
for additional analysis.

In addition to the basic set of features and functions implemented in
version 1.0, VisuaLyzer 1.1 adds the following new features,
functions, and usability improvements:
   * Core/periphery analysis by the Kerhighan-Lin algorithm for
detecting (see Analysis Core and Periphery menu)
   * Import adjacency matrices from Microsoft Excel files. Node
/attributes can also be included in the same Excel workbook.
   * Legends for graphs based on nodes /attributes and attribute
queries. The legend is automatically updated with changes in
attribute values and queries (see Query ' Legend menu).
   * Views that allow the user to save sequence of most recent
attribute-based queries as a macro command. These Views can be saved,
loaded, and re-applied to the same graph or other graphs with same
/attributes (see Query Views menu).
   * Extended node and link /attributes: web pages (HTML) and files
can now be specified as an attribute value, and can be opened and edited.
   * Visual properties (color, size, shape) can now be applied not
only to single attribute value but groups (i.e., collapsed) of
attribute values, thus avoiding repetitive application of visual properties.
   * Improved handling of mid-size and bigger graphs loading. The
program now shows progress in loading graphs; gives other optimal
layout options, and allows the user to start/stop optimization process.
   * Gray scale coloring options.
   * Replaced closeness centrality criterion for detecting opinion
leaders with T. Valente's measure of integration.
   * Extended Reasoning menu.
   * Export current (selected) relations to Prolog .P file format.
   * Fixed a bug related to opening non-existing file from File/Reopen menu.
   * Fixed minor bugs and improved usability of node/edge addition,
selection, naming and clipboard operations; provided more short-cut keys, etc)
