Concepts for calculating an evolutionary layout

The current implementation of the algorithm uses the following concepts for calculating evolutionary layout of graph transformation sequences:

Because the original AGG graph structure model contained very simple layout information only, this layout data had been enriched by the following items: node age, preferred edge length, edge-binding force (resulting from the node forces), and a kind of bounding box around each node to indicate where other nodes may not be placed.
