....These systems can be used to animate general algorithms and data structures, not just graph algorithms. Representative systems include JSamba [1] a Java version of the Samba animation system [2]andJAWAA [3,4] For general techniques and various systems for visualization of software systems, see [5]. Graph library and datasets. There are many libraries for drawing graphs and implementing graph algorithms. There are also graph datasets for teaching or benchmarking purposes. We name just a few of the most well known. GraphViz is a set of graph drawing tools developed at AT T Labs [6,7] It ....

....the execution of Java programs. 1 Introduction Algorithm animation systems are tools to produce and or interact with dynamic graphical representations of computations. Such animations are meant to support understanding of algorithms and thus are used as teaching aids as well as development tools [12, 21, 7, 5]. Interesting events (IEs) are widely used in algorithm animation systems and usually lead to a system architecture based on the MVC design pattern (model, view, control) which is a combination of the Observer, Composite and Strategy patterns [14] The program is annotated at important program ....

....other multi view event based algorithm animation systems like ZEUS [3] except for all the additional information stored in the events and the fact that our program points are reified. As a result our system provides features not present in any of the algorithm animation systems we are aware of [12, 21, 7, 5]. The use and implementation of these features are discussed in the remainder of this section. 4.2 Animation Modes The GANILA code below shows how to annotate the algorithm to enable post mortem visualization. In particular the recording mechanism allows for the mixing of post mortem and ....

....can make a programming environment user friendly with respect to a very important part of its human computer interaction: visualizations of programs. There have been many contributions related to this topic: pretty printing in text editors [6] and syntax directed editors [8] program visualization [9], documentation of programs [4] and application of typography to programs [1] However the interaction with these systems is far from satisfactory: it is usually made in a batch fashion and it is isolated from common programming tools such as compilers and debuggers. Our claim is that ....

....including syntactic errors. This decreases students motivation to programming and comprehension of the essence of programming relatively. Visual programming systems are expected to improve this situation. There has been considerable research on visual programming systems or environments[1][2] but evaluations on them are insufficient from a viewpoint of education. The authors have conducted and been analyzing an experiment in introductory education of programming using 3 D visual representation. It evaluates the effects of learning using a newly developed visual programming ....

....Hope [2] HIPE stands for Hope Integrated Programming Environment) On attempting to teach typed functional programming, we found that, although there were very good implementations, their corresponding environments were very poor, and inadequate for education. HIPE was originally designed [9] to make available and integrate several programming tools, a graphical user interface, and a high level debugger. The main features of WinHIPE can be better understood with an example, e.g. to insert a number into an ordered list: dec insert: num#list(num) list(num) insert (e,nil) ....

....n : l) For readability, the expression e 1 : e 2 : e n : nil is represented by the list notation [e 1 ,e 2 , e n ] This definition can be used to evaluate functional expressions involving the insertion function. A visualization of a step by step evaluation follows: insert (4, [1, 2, 5, 9]) list (num) if 4 1 then [4, 1, 2, 5, 9] if false then [4, 1, 2, 5, 9] 1 : insert (4, 2, 5, 9] then [4, 2, 5, 9] 1, 2, 4, 5, 9] list (num) We can summarize the facilities that WinHIPE offers: Graphical user interface. It includes the typical components in ....

....context is found. Algorithm visualization is useful in presenting right opportunities to users in order for them to select the best strategy for a given problem. 2. Related works Algorithm visualization is about presenting the workings of complex algorithms in visual forms, often with animation [20]. The benefit is to offer users with a significantly fast and intuitive understanding of algorithm behavior by taking advantage of the high bandwidth communication channel between the display, the human fovea and perceptual inference [3] Research work in this area has given important results in ....

....reusability results heavily limited since the efforts spent into animating an algorithm cannot be easily reinvested into another algorithm, even if the two algorithms are very similar. In the past, several systems for the animation of parallel programs have been presented such as ZEUS [1] and POLKA[2]; however all these systems failed to provide a reusable and easy to use animation system. The CATAI[4] project originated considering these two points as crucial goals, in fact it allows to easily code reusable interactive animations and, then, it uses a distributed multi user architecture to ....

A comprehensive account of the field of Software Visualization may be found in the eponymous book edited by Stasko et al.[13]. 5.

The discrete actions of a system are modeled by explicit transitions in the state machine while continuous activities are modeled by real valued variables ....

....the running of the corresponding handlers on the client s side. The publication driven approach has been used for designing an algorithm visualization facility over the Web, called WAVE. A first prototype of WAVE is described at the end of the paper. 1 Introduction Algorithm visualization [4, 20] concerns the high level graphical display of both the control flow and the data flow of running programs. The visualization of an algorithm, and in particular the pictorial representation of the evolution of its data structures, has several applications both in the algorithm engineering and in ....

The algorithm is executed on the server and therefore the source code remains safe; moreover, the client runs on any Java 1 According to the standard terminology [17, 20], there are four types of users interacting with an algorithm visualization facility: The algorithm designer, the algorithm developer, the algorithm visualizer, and the end user. The algorithm designer conceives an algorithm that is implemented by the algorithm developer. The algorithm visualizer ....

II. Background Much work has been done on Software Visualization [38].
