This paper describes the underlying conceptual design and investigative approach used during the development of the Prototype Graphical Representation Model. The initial problem was to characterize and develop the fundamental theoretical foundation for modeling the features of computer networks. This research was influenced by the desire to investigate graph theoretical problems, in general, that are common to many different systems and disciplines. A computer network is a specific graph theoretical problem. This paper provides details on the early research into the relation between computer networks and graph theory and the optimal representation of computer networks for security analysis. 18 refs., 3 figs.
