Abstract

Abstract

Based on a university's practice in upgrading its network management platform, presents a visual analytic system which integrates network topological space, IP space and network geographical space into a collaborative solution to help network administrators address difficulties in locating end user and troubleshooting. Throughout the development cycle, we worked alongside with users to clarify their actual demands and habitual operations through scenario application, interviews and a variety of evaluation. This user-centered approach guides us step by step to apply cyber security visualization and visual analytic technology to actual use.
