This work surveys the growing number of approaches in this discipline. We derive a hierarchical taxonomy of techniques by systematically categorizing and tagging publica tions. While static graph visualizations are often divided into node-link and matrix representations, we identify the representation of time as the major distinguishing feature for dynamic graph visualizations: either graphs are represented as animated diagrams or as static charts based on a timeline. Evaluations of animated approaches focus on dynamic stability for preserving the viewer's mental map or, in general, compare animated diagrams to timeline-based ones. Finally, we identify and discuss challenges for future research.  \nCategories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): H.5.2 [Information Interfaces and Presentation]: User Interfaces—Graphical user interfaces (GUI)  \n1. Introduction  \nThe world is constantly evolving, there is nothing static or stable in it. But sometimes we pretend there is—just for simplification. In particular when analyzing data, this constraint is often applied: either we choose a single point in time or we aggregate longer spans of time. And indeed, the simplification is very helpful as it reduces the amount of data, makes computations faster, and simplifies reasoning as well as communication. However, this approach has its clear limitations: we learn nothing about the dynamics. As a consequence, we neither understand how and why certain stages are reached nor can foresee future changes.  \n􀀍c The Eurographics Association 2014 .  \nMany aspects of the analog and digital world can be considered as objects being related to each other, for instance, people forming a social network, proteins interacting with each other, or components of a software system communicating through calls. We usually model relational data as graphs and a very active research community has formed around visualizing these structures: many visualization techniques have been introduced [vLKS􀀃 11], criteria for readable graph visualization have been studied [BRSG07] . And in fact, in most cases, the above simplification has been applied, visualizing static graphs only. However, over the years, researchers started to question this constraint and be-  \nF. Beck, M.
