Abstract
This paper presents a component framework for rapidly building and operating the visual interfaces for network management. It can easily and dynamically assemble visual components that can monitor and control their target network devices or sub-systems into an active document as a visual interface for the whole network. Since each visual component is an autonomous programmable entity, it can define network management protocols in addition to its visual interface inside it. End-users or administrators can manually customize smart spaces through user-friendly GUI-based manipulations for editing documents. This paper presents the design for this framework and describes its implementation and a practical application already being used for sensor networks in the real world.
