PICASSO: Exploratory Search of Connected Subgraph Substructures in Graph Databases
Summary: PICASSO supports exploratory search over connected subgraph substructures, where users iteratively refine graph queries without a fixed intent. Its distinctive design combines visual progressive query formulation, incremental processing, and a multistream results wall for discovering search directions.
