1. What contributions have the authors mentioned in the paper "Visualizing community centric network layouts" ?
The authors present their COMmunity Boundary ( COMB ) and COMmunity Circles ( COMC ) network layout algorithms that focus on revealing the structure of discovered communities and the relationships between these communities.. To implement their algorithms the authors have introduced numerous modifications to the existing Fruchterman-Reingold layout, including support for multi-sized vertices, removal of the bounding frame, introduction of circular bounding boxes, and a novel slotting system.. The authors believe this information is vital when developing new community mining algorithms as it allows the viewer to more quickly assess the quality of a mining result without appealing to large tables of statistics.

2. What are the future works mentioned in the paper "Visualizing community centric network layouts" ?
In their future work, the authors intend to extend COMB to support other popular layout algorithms, including the Kamada-Kawai [ 7 ] and ISOM [ 10 ] layouts.. It is a daunting task to present a new layout algorithm without further development of a methodology to compare visualization results.
