Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) visualization of multi-layer networks include receiving data associated with a network, wherein the network includes interconnected network elements that operate at a plurality of levels that include any of network layers and encapsulations; displaying a plurality of three-dimensional icons each represent one of a plurality of network elements of the interconnected network elements; and displaying links between the plurality of three-dimensional icons each link representing one of a network layer connection and an encapsulation connection.

Abstract: Systems and methods include receiving data from a network that includes a plurality of network elements that operate at a plurality levels that include any of network layers and encapsulations; displaying any of the plurality of network elements as a three-dimensional icon on a network map; illustrating a plinth in the three-dimensional icon for each of the plurality of levels for each network element of the any of the plurality of network elements, wherein a plinth at each level indicates a corresponding network element participates in that level; and illustrating horizontal connectivity as links between any of the network elements via associated plinths.

Abstract: A computing device includes at least one processor and at least one module operable by the at least one processor to output, for display, a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising one or more graphical objects representing one or more data elements, receive input to select a graphical object representing a data element, wherein the selection occurs at a start location within the GUI, and determine a set of spatial locations with which the data element can be associated. The at least one module is further operable to output, for display, a plurality of overlay elements, each comprising a respective boundary that forms a respective path from the start location to a respective graphical representation of a respective spatial location, receive input to traverse a chosen overlay element, and associate the data element with the respective spatial location corresponding to the chosen overlay element.

Abstract: Techniques are described for modeling data in a graphical user interface. In one example, a method for modeling data includes generating for output a plurality of data item graphical representations, wherein the data item graphical representations represent data items. The method further includes receiving one or more inputs to select two or more data items from the data item graphical representations and to select a connecting option. The method further includes generating, in response to the one or more inputs, a hierarchical association between the two or more data items, such that the hierarchical association corresponds to the selected connecting option. The method further includes generating for output a hierarchical data graphical representation that graphically represents the two or more data items and the hierarchical association between the two or more data items.
