Greg Weiss writes "Because wireless coverage is so spotty, there have been a number of attempts to graph network coverage, as seen at cybergeography.org (which, by the way, has screen shots for a lot of different visualization approaches to cyberspace. Worth checking out.) One such effort, the Wireless Network Visualization Project was recently discussed on Slashdot." This topic has also been pursued by the Rivet project at Stanford, which uses advanced graphics techniques for the analysis and visualization of complex systems. This paper (PDF) discusses how the Rivet system was used to visualize a network trace of the Metricom (R.I.P.) packet radio network in order to determine when the mobile network is the most active, how active the network gets, where the network is active, as well as radio mobility questions such as how far, how often, and when users move.
