Hierarchical Simulation Model with Animation for Large Network Security

摘要

Trying to display all the graphic objects representing the dynamics of the models being simulated causes the distraction of focus. Especially, keeping the focus is needed when the model is large and complex like a security simulation model, which includes the dynamics of attacks that become more sophisticated as the network is wide spread. This paper presents a simulation modeling environment for animation in which the users can have better focus on the dynamics of security systems by selectively choosing the hierarchical level and components with in a level of the hierarchically structured model.
