Abstract

Computer network management is a field where several researches have been done and many tools created. The last decades have seen the appearance of a new generation of management tools introducing a new approach based on graphical visualization enabling the users to explore visually a complete system. The main objective of the graphical visualization is to facilitate the different tasks of the administrators. This is particularly important when the system is becoming complex due to the growth of information flow, the heterogeneity of devices and environments or applications that handle this information. In this perspective this research is led with as a goal to study the benefit of the use of 3D graphical representation combined with an object-oriented information model (CIM - Common Information Model - proposed by the industrial consortium DMTF - Distributed Management Task Force). Through this research we have particularly focused on the necessary requirements to offer a high quality of visualization and the ways or languages allowing the modelling of all resources present in a complex computer network.
