Abstract

The paper describes Voronoi Maps – a new technique for visualizing sensor networks that can reduced to planar graph. Visualization in the form of Voronoi Maps as well as TreeMaps provides a great use of screen space, and at the same time allows us to visualize planar non-hierarchical decentralized topology. The paper provides an overview of existing techniques of information security visualization, the Voronoi Maps concept, Voronoi Maps mapping technique, Voronoi Maps cell area resizing technique and Voronoi Map usage examples for visualization of sensor network analysis processes.
