MuGDAD: Multilevel graph drawing algorithm in a distributed architecture

This paper presents a multiparadigm force-directed graph drawing algorithm with horizontal scalability on distributed storage clusters. Adaptations of the classical force-directed scheme that function on a distributed environment are presented. This distributed force-directed scheme is associated with a distributed-compatible multilevel approach for a more efficient graph drawing algorithm. MuGDAD is compared in terms of layout quality and speed with other algorithms.
