Many real-world problems in industry, science, or society have an inherent node-link structure and can be represented and analyzed as networks. Examples range from social networks, to supply networks, to neural networks and more. Interactive visualization of network data can help humans to come to a better understanding of its structure and derive analytical insights about network properties and performance more intuitively.

Participants are asked use object oriented programming (JavaScript, Python, etc.) to develop a visually appealing, touch-interactive, browser-based application that enables humans to intuitively visualize, explore, understand, analyze, and manipulate large and complex networks. Datasets will be provided on the day of the event.

The goal of this hackathon is for you to develop a touch-interactive and browser-based interface. The final submission must have a demo that is deployed on a public url.

You are free to use any means to deploy your work. We have included some free options below that will be sufficient for this hackathon.

You must use github (account required) to create a code repository to include with your submission (and for group collaboration): https://github.com/

You must submit your project documenting your work to devpost (account required): https://cave-hack.devpost.com/

Only one submission per team. A single team member can create the submission and then add collaborators to edit.
