Abstract

The design and analysis of cost effective survivable telecommunication networks is a very important problem. We study techniques for visualizing survivable telecommunication networks. The visualization of telecommunication networks is very useful in aiding the design progress of minimum cost networks and the management of network operations. We present several linear time algorithms for drawing telecommunication networks (with optimal area) so that important properties are displayed. Given a ring cover of a network, our algorithms display it in such a way that rings are easily identifiable and possible problems can be spotted by network designers.
