System Specification Based Network Modeling for Survivability Testing Simulation

The contribution of this paper is to present the network modeling methodology to make it possible to test the survivability of computer network. As the structure and behavior of network becomes complicated and unpredictable, it becomes difficult to test the survivability of computer network. The modeling and simulation is a widely used approach to Predict the behavior of system or set of system. In this research, we apply the modeling methodology to construct the model of computer network focusing on its vulnerability for survivability testing. To accomplish our aim, the appropriate modeling methodology should be defined Especially, we take advantage of the system specification based modeling methodology to construct valid network model.
