Abstract

A method and apparatus for modeling the configuration of a complex network is provided. The method consists of providing information about entities that comprise a network, identifying one or more entities as either a node or an edge, defining a set of layers composed of nodes and edges. Each layer has at least one node, wherein any of the nodes or edges may be a member of only one layer. The edges contained within any individual layer must terminate at exactly two nodes that are also contained within that same layer. An apparatus in the form of a computer system is also provided. The computer system has a database that contains the attributes of the specific network entities (be they nodes or edges) and stores them in such a manner that each network entity can be entered only once and only within the framework of the method described herein. The database can be relational, object, or object-relational. Input and output media are also provided to enable a user to load and retrieve information about the network configuration in a convenient manner.
