Realism Framework Artifacts

Companion artifacts to the paper "Realistic Enough for What? A Multidimensional Framework for Evaluating Cyber Environments" (Stratosphere Laboratory, CTU Prague).

This repository publishes, as a static website:

1. Use cases: realism-requirement profiles over 11 dimensions.
2. Environments: a preliminary evaluation of 13 cyber environments across the same 11 dimensions.
3. Scorecard: an interactive application that reports whether an environment is suitable for a given use case.

What maps to what

• The 11 realism dimensions and their 115 sub-dimensions: data/dimension_elements.json.
• Dimension groups and short descriptions (home page): data/dimensions.json.
• Use-case requirement profiles (dimension level, plus sub-dimension level for UC-A1): data/use_cases.json.
• The 13-environment evaluation: data/environments.json (five further environments are documented in the source analysis but not evaluated here, for lack of a verifiable public link).
• The pages and radar charts are generated from those three files.

Rebuild the site

Everything is generated from data/ by a small Python pipeline. Within a python environment with matplotlib, numpy, jinja2, pytest:

./build.sh          # validate data -> render figures -> generate pages -> run tests

Preview locally

The scorecard app loads data with fetch(), which browsers block on file://, so serve the site over HTTP:

python -m http.server 8000
# then open http://localhost:8000/index.html
