Network Visualization Engine

Project Description

The aim of NETVUE is to design an intuitive realtime visualization system using a simple unified metaphor—the geographic map—to readily visualize network activity of interest.

The proposed visualization system will be used in conjunction with a distributed Intrusion Detection System  (DIDS) to rapidly identify network intrusions such as port scans, denial-of-service attacks, and topological attacks in mobile networks.
