UML Modeling of Network Topologies for Distributed Computer System

Abstract

Nowadays distributed computer systems have become very popular approach due to its availability at low cost and high performance computers, which are connected through a communication network. For connection of the distributed computer systems, network topologies are must for the communication lines. In the present paper a detailed study of network topologies is done for the distributed computer systems. A most popular Unified Modeling Language (UML) is used for designing the different network topologies. A comparative study is done for 2D Mesh, Torus, and Hypercube topologies and performance is evaluated after designing the UML Class, Sequence, and Activity diagrams for these topologies.
