Visualizing Large Telecommunication Data Sets

displays to abstract network data and let users interactwithit.Wehaveimplementedafull-scaleSwift3D prototype, which generated the examples we present here. Swift-3D We developed Swift-3D to address two needs in network-element management: increased level of abstraction and improved real-time analysis capabilities. Our goal was to help decision makers react to changing conditionswithinamatterofminutes.WethusfocusedSwift3Donvisualizingcircuit-switchedcalldetailinformation. Tobeuseful,asystemforvisuallyexploringcalldetail records must scale well and avoid instance-specific processing, making it flexible enough for experimentation in back-end queries and user interface. Although initially aimed at voice telephony, our data mining and visualization model can generalize or scale to other large-scale networks and services. Swift-3D has three modules: data collector, aggregator, and visualization interface. The modules communicate using a self-describing data-independent binary format consisti...
