In the period from 2009 to 2011, the research and development project "sodia" headed by Peter Pantuček-Eisenbacher and Sabine Sommer was dedicated to the further development of social diagnostic procedures. In cooperation with practice organisations, selected social diagnostic procedures were subjected to a practical test and checked for their usefulness. One focus was on the further development of the user-friendly software easyNWK for creating digital network maps.

The staff members of the research project produced the following joint master's thesis on network diagnostics: Aspöck, Tamara / Kogelnig, Birgit / Nußbaumer, Sandra / Stork, Roland / Windpassinger, Andrea (2011): The ego-centred network map as a diagnostic tool in social work. Practical relevance, modifications and application aids. Master's thesis at the FH St. Pölten. http://www.pantucek.com/texte/nwk_master.pdf
