Abstract: As a branch of network topology visualization, industrial monitoring network topology visualization has the demands of intuitive layout structure and strong real-time. However, the previous topology layout algorithms can not meet the demands. To solve the problem, for the industrial monitoring network structures of three kinds of types, including one layer or two layers of star type, one layer of mesh type and two layers of star-mesh type, improving the repulsion-tension model according to characteristics of the network structure and properties of the node relationship, a heuristic network topology layout algorithm based on properties of nodes is proposed. The experimental results prove that time complexity of the algorithm is low, and intuition of the layout is good.

摘要: 工业监控网络拓扑可视化作为网络拓扑可视化的一个分支,要求布图结构直观而且实时性强。然而,以往的拓扑布局算法并不能满足这一要求。针对这一问题,面向一层或二层星型、一层mesh型和mesh型与星型两层混合的工业监控网络结构,根据网络结构特点和节点关系属性改进斥力张力模型,提出一种基于节点属性的启发式网络拓扑布局算法。实验结果证明该算法时间复杂度较低,而且布图直观性良好。
