This project utilizes a laboratory with graphics capabilities to             display the effects of algorithms on data structures.                                                                                                              Using animation, data structures are displayed as they are                   manipulated by algorithms so that students may understand the data              structures and algorithms from a conceptual level apart from their              representation in a particular language.                                                                                                                           The algorithm visualization laboratory has six (6) Macintosh II              microcomputers participating in a local Appletalk network. One of the           six systems serves as a gateway to an Ethernet network linking the              Macintosh II's to the University's VAX 11-780 and MicroVAX. Most                algorithm software development is done on the MicroVAX and then                 transmitted to the Macintosh computers for graphic display. The lab             uses an overhead projection system capable of presenting an interactive         Macintosh session on a large screen.                                                                                                                               Real-time display allows the instructor to demonstrate concepts of           algorithm performance and it allows students to experiment with                 algorithms and data structures on an individual basis - they learn              about algorithms by watching them perform.                                                                                                                         This award is being matched by an equal sum from the grantee.
