A graphical user interface design for network simulation

Abstract

This article describes a prototyping effort of a flexible graphical user interface (GUI) for a simulation tool called COPS. The GUI is designed to allow parameter setup for all modules in simulation model, and can be easily replaced by new GUIs implemented in different languages/graphical tools. This article provides design guidelines and implementation details of the flexible GUI. (C) 1997 by Elsevier Science Inc.
