Visualization

Abstract

Managers and operators of modern Enterprise IT environments deal with massive amounts of information in a very stressful environment. They routinely manage hundreds of thousands of interconnected elements while collaborating with multiple business stakeholders under strict time constraints. This paper proposes a visualization method to simplify managing large amounts of information called the LSF view method. The LSF view method simplifies visualization by generating overviews of the network emphasizing the connections that are most salient to the user. This method also provides users with three key capabilities: manipulating of layer semantics, selecting instances of relevant concepts, and focusing on relevant information.
