Abstract |
Traditional state modeling techniques have several limitations. One of these is the limited ability to model a large number of variables simultaneously. Another limitation is that understanding such models can often be difficult as they are often represented as a series of graphs with a large number of state transitions. In order to address the above issues, we propose a geometric approach to modeling state changes in computer systems and data. Geometric models lend themselves to mathematical combination and algebras and can encode large amounts of complex, interrelated data. Such data can be quantified, can be manipulated, and is something that human beings naturally process well. Visual state models can be utilized in a wide range of activities from monitoring system operation, security and data authentication. In this paper, we present a discussion of visualization model which can be useful in performing many of the activities used in security and operations of a computer system. |
