- Name: itm
- Function: Driver to create flat random graphs and two forms
- of hierarchical graphs (N-level and transit-stub).
- See models.ps for a more complete description of
- the methods. This file describes the syntax and
- (limited) semantics of the parameter specification file.
- Usage: itm <spec-file0> <spec-file1> ....
- Details:
- File Format
- -----------
-
- Each argument is a file containing ONE set of specs for
- graph generation. Such a file has the following format:
- [# comment line]
- <method keyword> <number of graphs> [<initial seed>]
- <method-dependent parameter lines>
- <method keyword> is one of:
- "geo": flat random graph
- "hier": N-level hierarchical graph
- "ts": transit-stub graph
- <number of graphs>: number of graphs of specified type to generate
- <initial seed>: initial random number seed; optional
- Any line preceeded by # is a comment and is ignored by itm.
- Method-dependent Parameters
- ---------------------------
- All of the methods make use of the following <geo_parms>
- line, which specifies the parameters for a flat random
- graph. Six different types of flat random graphs are supported.
- (See models.ps for more detail on parameters and edge
- generation methods.)
- <geo_parms> ::= <n> <scale> <edgemethod> <alpha> [<beta> <gamma>]
- <n>: number of nodes in graph
- <scale>: one-sided dimension of space in which nodes are distributed
- <edgemethod>: method for generating edges; valid range 1..6
- 1: Waxman 1
- 2: Waxman 2
- 3: Pure random
- 4: Doar-Leslie
- 5: Exponential
- 6: Locality
- <alpha>: random graph parameter (0.0 <= alpha <= 1.0)
- <beta>: random graph parameter (0.0 <= beta)
- <gamma>: random graph parameter (0.0 <= gamma)
- The <method-dependent parameter lines> are as follows:
-
- <"geo" parms> ::= <geo_parms>
- <"hier" parms> ::= <number of levels> <edgeconnmethod> <threshold>
- <geo_parms>+ {one per number of levels}
- <number of levels>: number of levels in hierarchy
- <edgeconnmethod>: method of resolving edges
- (NOTE: probably should just use method 0)
- 0: random
- 1: use non-leaf node of smallest degree
- 2: use node of smallest degree
- 3: use first node with degree less than <threshold>
- <threshold>: see above
- <"ts" parms> ::= <# stubs/xit> <#t-s edges> <#s-s edges>
- <geo_parms> {top-level parameters}
- <geo_parms> {transit domain parameters}
- <geo_parms> {stub domain parameters}
- <# stubs/xit>: avg number of stub domains attached per transit node
- <#t-s edges>: number of extra transit-stub edges
- <#s-s edges>: number of extra stub-stub edges
- Output File Naming Convention:
- ------------------------------
-
- The i'th graph created with the parameters from file "arg" is placed
- in file "arg-i.gb", where the first value of i is zero.
- Example of Usage:
- -----------------
- The following is a valid specification file called r10:
- # <method keyword> <number of graphs> [<initial seed>]
- # <n> <scale> <edgemethod> <alpha> [<beta>] [<gamma>]
- geo 3
- 10 10 3 .2
- If we run 'itm r10' then three pure random graphs of 10 nodes
- each will be created. The nodes of each graph will be generated
- in a 10 by 10 (logical) grid. The probability of an edge is 0.2, as
- given by the <alpha> parameter; <beta> and <gamma> are not needed
- for this method. The output files will be named: r10-0.gb, r10-1.gb,
- r10-2.gb. (This specification file and the resulting output files
- can be found in sample-graphs/rand/r10.)
- Another Example of Usage:
- -------------------------
- The following is a valid specification file called t100:
- # <method keyword> <number of graphs> [<initial seed>]
- # <# stubs/xit> <#t-s edges> <#s-s edges>
- # <n> <scale> <edgemethod> <alpha> [<beta>] [<gamma>]
- # number of nodes = 1x4x(1+3x8) = 100
- ts 10 47
- 3 0 0
- 1 20 3 1.0
- 4 20 3 0.6
- 8 10 3 0.42
-
- If we run 'itm t100', then 10 transit-stub graphs of 100 nodes each
- will be created, starting with initial seed 47. Each graph will have
- three stub domains per transit node, with no extra transit-stub
- or stub-stub edges. The line "1 20 3 1.0" says that there
- will be one transit domain. The next line "4 20 3 0.6" specifies
- transit domains have (on average) four nodes, and an edge between each
- pair of nodes with probability 0.6. The last line "8 10 3 0.42" says
- that each stub domain will have (on average) eight nodes, and edge
- probability 0.42. The graphs will be named t100-[0-9].gb.
