Network Design and Optimization Under Use of Candy Framework
Andriy Luntovskyy, Dietbert Gütter, Alexander Schill · 2006
CANDY, computer-aided network design utility is a Java-framework for an efficient XML-based integrated network design environment developed via CANDY@TUD initiative. This paper examines CANDY network design tools including graphical input and topology verification, cabling system tracing and APIBS constellation (AP-access point, BS-basis station), performance analysis with feed-backs to reengineering procedures. In the investigation focus stand cabling system geometry and costs optimization. The integrating component for these design tools is NDML (network design markup language), XML-based problem-oriented language developed for representation of design data and workflow consisting of the following special parts: NDML basics, topology, performance, radioNDML for radio-networks etc
