An alarm reported by a network element and carried by this element.

renderer

A renderer draws a graphic object based on the information retrieved from its associated representation object and business object, if any, using graphic specifications from styles and visual dictionaries. There are two types of renderer: those that implement the default Swing renderer interfaces (only for table and tree) and those that build a graphic object.

representation model

A representation model is a container for representation objects. It is used to produce the graphic objects in the view. The representation model manages the behavior and data of the application domain, responds to requests for information about its state (coming usually from the view), and responds to instructions to change its state (usually issued by the controller).

representation object

A representation object provides the minimal data and structure information required for generating graphic objects, but is totally independent of a particular graphic rendering. More specifically, it does not contain graphic-related information. A representation object is specifically designed to work with a particular graphic component (table, tree, network, and so on) for which it provides a default implementation. A representation object can be linked to a business object, if any, but not necessarily.
