more thoughts on hubs and connectors.
I found this article called Cyberspace, Cybertexts, Cybermaps” by marie-Laure Ryan throught the Patrik’s Sprawl (which is an amazing blog that I read everyday and would recomment everyone to read everyday.) From this article:
Despite these obvious differences between real and virtual geographies, the cyberspace metaphor invites us to think of the Internet as forming a parallel universe made of countless galaxies, planetary systems within these galaxies, worlds within these systems, and nations within these worlds. [1] The image of cyberspace produced by Andrew Wood, Nick Drew, Russell Beale and Bob Hendley [2] (figure 1) is a good example of this mental visualization.
more on network mapping
I am thinking that it must be a bad weekend for servers or there is a huge attack on internet that brought down lots of nodes. It’s weird enough that kaon is down and now the other link I want to introduce is down too. TheBrain is a network visualization tool. It can map the physical network including printers. It can also map a virtual network with all the users connected. However, TheBrain is more of a network management software.
I guess it would be useful to look at. TheBrain functions differently. I actually searched somewhere along the line of ontology to find out about this site. I think this is where internet toplogiest’s theories can be applied into real world situations. (I am not implying that internet is not real world.) By studying the system/network/interconnectivity of the internet, can we …
Topology, Network Mapping, The Internet
An Atlas of cyberspaces – topology Maps is a great website that gives a lot of information on network mapping and the topology of the web. It’s really worth a look at.
Lumeta Internet Mapping Project is the one that was started at the Bell Labs in 1998. It is the most well-known internet mapping project so far.
netCrunch is not entirely an Internet mapping program; however, it is a network monitoring and management program. It maps out the routers that connect to the web in different areas. I think in a way this kind of network mapping programs help users to visualize the hubs of connection.
grokker is a web search software that visualize everything into an visualization representation.
the opte project provides static and dynamic images of the maps of internet.
I am currently playing around with kaon (however, I think the site …
