论文摘要
在计算机网络中应用的抽象通过构建一个捕获网络系统基本方面的模型，将网络详细信息隐藏在明确的表示背后。可以使用两种当前的表示方法，一种基于图理论，其中网络节点被简化为图中的一个点，另一个基于人的头部，墙壁，塔楼，塔楼或计算机架。在本文中，我们采用了一种抽象表示方法，即在软件工程中提出的Thinging Machine（TM）来建模计算机网络。 TM定义了一个单一的连贯网络体系结构和拓扑，该网络架构和拓扑仅由具有两种类型的箭头的五个通用动作构成。本文不会丧失一般性，将TM应用于数据包模式传输中的网络监控区域。复杂的网络文档很难维护，不能保证反映实际情况。网络监控是在网络系统中不断监视和警报故障，故障，停止或可疑活动。当前的监视系统建立在缺乏系统化的临时描述上。监视的TM模型呈现出与事件和行为描述集成的理论基础。为了调查TM建模的可行性，我们将其应用于科威特企业的现有计算机网络，以创建一个集成的网络系统，其中包括硬件，软件和通信设施。最终规格指出了计算机网络字段中TM建模的可活力。
Abstraction applied in computer networking hides network details behind a well-defined representation by building a model that captures an essential aspect of the network system. Two current methods of representation are available, one based on graph theory, where a network node is reduced to a point in a graph, and the other the use of non-methodological iconic depictions such as human heads, walls, towers or computer racks. In this paper, we adopt an abstract representation methodology, the thinging machine (TM), proposed in software engineering to model computer networks. TM defines a single coherent network architecture and topology that is constituted from only five generic actions with two types of arrows. Without loss of generality, this paper applies TM to model the area of network monitoring in packet-mode transmission. Complex network documents are difficult to maintain and are not guaranteed to mirror actual situations. Network monitoring is constant monitoring for and alerting of malfunctions, failures, stoppages or suspicious activities in a network system. Current monitoring systems are built on ad hoc descriptions that lack systemization. The TM model of monitoring presents a theoretical foundation integrated with events and behavior descriptions. To investigate TM modeling s feasibility, we apply it to an existing computer network in a Kuwaiti enterprise to create an integrated network system that includes hardware, software and communication facilities. The final specifications point to TM modeling s viability in the computer networking field.
