Visualizing Qos in networks

[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Network simulations generate large volumes of data. This thesis presents an animatedvisualization system that utilizes the latest affordable Computer Graphics (CG) hardwareto simplify the task of visualizing and analyzing these large volumes of data. The use ofmodern CG hardware allows us to create an interactive system which allows the user tointeract with the data sets and extract the relevant data in real time. We also present analternate approach to the network layout problem, using Self Organizing Maps to find anaesthetic layout for a network which is fundamental to a successful network visualization.We finally discuss the design and implementation of such an network visualization tool.
