Title : A Visualization Study of Network Growth and Traffic from

Fri Jan 7 18:02:24 UTC 1994

Hi,

Does anyone have any information about results from the NSF award included
below?  Contact info is included but I thought it might be easier to ask
here.  The results, if published, might interest some of you.  Hence,
posting to this forum.  Sorry if this is inappropriate. 

Thanks in advance.

Abstract    :
          The NSFNET infrastructure has expanded at an exponential rate
     and has precipitated the need to evaluate trends that impact future
     network development.  High performance computing and advanced 3-
     dimensional graphics environment coupled with new media
     technologies provides an expanded visual domain to represent and
     study complex network topology and data.
     This project will organize, aggregate, reduce, and investigate
     large network databases while considering a design criteria that
     can be applied to a more diverse set of information flow problems.
     This study is a major step in the development, visualization, and
     investigation of network data archives and can reveal communication
     trends in the nsfnet and its components.  The archiving and
     distribution of this investigation will provide a valuable national
     resource and has the potential of becoming a general purpose
     visualization tool for network analysis.
