双层次多属性云服务网络可视化方法

A Visualization Methodfor Cloud Service Networkswith Dual Hierarchical StructuresandMulti-device Attributes

  • 摘要: 针对现有云服务网络可视化方法难以同时合理呈现云服务网络的空间位置与逻辑拓扑并存的双重层次结构及多属性特征,进而影响云服务网络运维效率的问题。提出一种兼顾业务属性和网络结构特征的网络化简算法,基于等价单元的节点划分和节点聚合策略构建小规模超图,以减少后续可视化负担;然后结合使用优化生成点位置的加权Voronoi嵌套分割与强边界约束力导引布局的协同布局算法,实现空间位置层级结构与逻辑拓扑结构的同视图协同呈现;最后设计一套视觉图元编码及多种交互机制,以有效地呈现设备多维属性并提升告警链路分析效率。在6个覆盖不同规模真实云服务网络数据上进行实验评估与案例分析,结果表明,文中方法在多个方面都表现优异:在算法性能方面,告警聚合率保持为0%,平均度偏差介于6.43%–13.90%,节点聚合率达到89.38%–94.93%;在视觉感知效率方面,视觉中心指数为0.86%–0.91%,节点重叠率控制在0%–0.37%;在实际运维支持方面,志愿者完成参考真实告警分析场景的需求制定的4个任务的平均时间为5.96 s–8.12 s,正确率达到95.00%–100.00%,且针对可视化效果的3类李克特量表评价的平均得分均在4.1–4.4,均优于对比方法。

     

    Abstract: Existing visualization methods for cloud service networks struggle to collaboratively present dual hierar-chical structures of spatial and logical deployments along with diverse device attributes, which adversely affects operational efficiency. This paper proposes a network simplification algorithm that utilizes node aggregations on equivalent node units to preserve network characteristics meanwhile reduce network scale. Then, a collaborative layout algorithm that integrates weighted Voronoi-based nested segmentation with a strong-boundary-constrained force-directed layout is designed to achieve the seamless presentation of dual hierarchical structures. Finally, a set of visual encodings and interactions are designed to depict device at-tributes. Experiments and case studies were conducted on six real-world cloud service networks of varying scales. The results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves superior performance across multiple aspects: in terms of algorithmic performance, the alarm aggregation rate remained at 0%, the average de-gree deviation ranged from 6.43% to 13.90%, and the node aggregation rate reached 89.38% to 94.93%; in terms of visual perception efficiency, the visual center index ranged from 0.86% to 0.91%, and the node overlap rate was controlled between 0% to 0.37%; regarding practical operational support, volunteers completed four tasks derived from reference real-world alarm analysis scenarios in an average time of 5.96 s to 8.12 s, achieving an accuracy of 95.00% to 100.00%, and the average scores of three Likert-scale evaluations of visualization effectiveness ranged from 4.1 to 4.4. All results outperform the comparative methods.
