Claim:
1. A method, comprising: displaying, in a first window, a first portion of a plurality of nodes, each of the plurality of nodes representing one or more components modeled by a service model, the first portion including a first node of the first portion of the plurality of nodes, the first node representing multiple subnodes of the service model not displayed in the first window and the first window including a representation of the first node with an associated first target area and an associated second target area; displaying a second window in response to determining that a cursor is positioned substantially coincident with the first target area, the second window displaying the first node coupled with at least some of the subnodes of the service model represented by the first node, the subnodes displayed in the second window being a second portion of the plurality of nodes that are absent from the first window; and displaying a third window in response to determining that the cursor is positioned substantially coincident with the second target area, the third window displaying the first node coupled with at least some of the subnodes of the service model represented by the first node, the subnodes displayed in the third window being a third portion of the plurality of nodes that are absent from the first window, wherein the third portion is disjoint from the second portion.
