Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHow to Document Computer NetworksSabah Al-Fedaghi, Bader BehbehaniDocumenting networks is an essential tool for troubleshooting network problems. The documentation details a network’s structure and context, serves as a reference and makes network management more effective. Complex network diagrams are hard to document and maintain and are not guaranteed to reflect reality. They contain many superficial icons (e.g., wall, screen and tower). Defining a single coherent network architecture … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 6 · 10 Jun 2020 · 7,584 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsModeling the Semantics of States and State MachinesSabah Al-FedaghiA system’s behavior is typically specified through models such as state diagrams that describe how the system should behave. According to researchers, it is not clear what a state actually represents regarding the system to be modeled. Standards do not provide adequate definitions of or sufficient guidance on the use of states. Studies show these inconsistencies can lead to poor … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 7 · 14 Jul 2020 · 6,974 accessesView PDFCite
