Internet-Based Front-End to Network Simulator

  • Conference paper
Data Visualization ’99

Part of the book series: Eurographics ((EUROGRAPH))

Abstract

We present a Java-based interactive visual interface to network simulators. Having successfully incorporated network visualization technologies, our system provides an effective front-end interface supporting real time control and monitoring of the back-end simulator through the Internet or intranets. We extend a traditional spring embedding graph layout model, and propose a new hierarchical node placement algorithm for presenting the structure of a complex network.
