A Visual Environment for Characterization of State Changes in Computer Systems

: Traditional state modeling techniques have several limitations. One of these is the reduced ability to model a large number of variables simultaneously. Another limitation is that understanding such models can be difficult as they are often represented as a series of graphs with a large number of transitions. In order to address the above issues, we propose a geometric approach to modeling state changes in computer systems. Geometric models are often descriptive of complex mathematical combinations and can be very useful for representing large quantities of intricate, interrelated data. Visualizations are powerful instruments of communication, therefore such geometric models can be processed very well by human beings. Visual state models can be utilized in a wide range of computer-related activities, from monitoring system operation to system security enhancement and data authentication. In this paper we describe a geometric model for visually representing various pieces of informati...
