Dynamic networks are networks in which nodes and edges come and go at different times. The dynamic nature of this type of networks has imposed a challenge in network visualisation. Many techniques have been proposed to visualise dynamic networks in an effort of not only capturing the dynamic features of networks over the time but also laying out the network in a way that is fast and makes the visualisation aesthetically pleasing. However, empirical research has shown that the current techniques have limitations in one way or another. In the paper, we present an interactive visualisation called DGViewer which gives users control and flexibility allowing them to decide what, when and how to view visualisations to improve the analysis and comprehension of dynamic networks. A preliminary usability study indicates that users are positive with this user-centred visualisation for better user experience and task performance
