1. What was planned?
I planned to familiarize myself with the literature regarding visualizations, specifically ones that relate to our work. Read a number of papers and other resources, authors' webpages/tools, and see what other works could be used in our own. Primarily what do we like and dislike about other works and how do we incorporate or avoid those in our own work.

2. What was done?
I read a number of papers as well as other literature to get a better understanding of our project. Made some notes that I will bring to our Tuesday meeting.

3. Problems encountered?
No problems. Some papers are more related than others.

4. What did you learn this week?
Miscellaneous concepts regarding visualization. Quadratic curves make a good way to avoid edge overlap in graphs. The pivotGraph paper is a good source for aspects we should be mindful of while making our visualization.

5. What's planned for next week?
Read more papers, take more notes. Think more in depth about the problem that we have and how we can start to create structure for the work-flow in the coming weeks/months. What are the steps necessary in order to complete this project? Design (conceptually), Design (concrete), Implementation, Documentation, Testing, Research Paper?
