Nominal Use Cases/Requirements

• replace intermapper/heat map

  • availability
  • capacity
  • utilisation
  • etc.

• integrate with connectivity map

  • visualize geant-owned data-driven info on the same map with static (manually input/managed) non-geant data

• monitoring

  • health of nodes/edges
  • alarms/link state edge heat map

• grid-based for fixed (e.g. our) networks

• handle overlapping edges

Ideas

• For the Geant-managed heat maps: maybe nice to agree upon a simple grid-locked geo-node/edge approach

High-Level Architecture

Design/Edit concerns for subway map

• rendered end-user maps are static (i.e. end-user can't move map elements around)

• designers need some way of customizing maps

  • draw.io?
  • can we support full design control? i.e. artists drawing shapes/effects
  • some styles are ok with draw.io

• Designer input

  • how should we handle errors in designer input?

    • should we have a validation step when designers return their modifications?

  • should we keep the design template completely outside of mapping provider? or some metadata (e.g. lists of nodes/edges) in mapping provider?
