Development and evaluation of AGNI : a distributed netgraph data collection and analysis tool

AGNI is a tool developed to facilitate the analysis of communication networks between people in large organizations. Determining patterns of communication within organiza­tions is critical to the analysis of the effectiveness of their structure. Until recently, large organizations presented a special problem. The copious amounts of data that had to be analyzed made the process slow and tedious. AGNI makes the job easier by automating many of the tasks involved in this process. It provides a user friendly graphical environ­ment in which data can be collected and analyzed. It also provides an easy way to display the data in a graphical format so that it is easy to visualize.
