This paper presents an approach to compute and visualize dependencies between elements of an industrial automation system. The various system elements are represented by a network of vertices and edges in a graph, which in turn is used for computing dependencies, assessing the impact of a change and providing a mechanism for visualizing relationships between the individual elements. The final goal of this effort is to improve the engineering efficiency by providing a system that computes and visualizes the engineering project data dependencies and provides the user with a visually-driven rapid-search and navigation mechanism.
