An Efficient Approach of Infrastructure Processing Visualization Within Cloud Computing Platform

This paper presents a tool for visualization of the executed processes upon the infrastructure of the cloud computing platform CLAVIRE. Such class of tools is extremely important for the cloud platform developers and the end users, because it gives extensional opportunities for platform processes analyzing by providing interactive mechanisms to supervise over distributed infrastructure networks. The core principles are based on visualization of computational resources' detailed interactions within geographically distributed platform. Our goal was to make a visualization provision tool for more effective understanding, monitoring and managing infrastructure with easy-to-use interface especially for the users who do not have enough technical background to efficiently organize their interoperability with the infrastructure level of the platform CLAVIRE. To manage with this issue, we developed a client-based application that includes a special algorithm based on force-directed graph layout, which is able to represent all aforementioned information on clear and understandable level. © 2015 The Authors.
