1.1 UI subsystem

• User package
• guides the simulation user in installing,
  configuring network entities, and generating
  entwork events.
• Visualizer package
• visualizes the states of network entities.
• provides control of LOD(Level of Details).

2 What to do first about the Simulation Engine
subsystem

• Refinement of the design of the Simulation Engine
  sybsystem including
• the specification of the Simulator shell (or
  equivalently usecase analysis of this subsystem),
• the specification of the Scinario class.

3 What to do first about the UI subsystem

• Design the uniform style for the GUI.
• Design the screen images for all the usecases.
• Design the visualization scheme of network
  topology and the states of network entities.
