Realizing XML Driven Algorithm Visualization

Year: 2007

Type: article

Abstract: In this paper we describe work in progress on JHAVÉ-II, a new generation of the client-server based algorithm visualization system JHAVÉ. We believe this to be the first algorithm visualization system to be totally XML driven. We describe the XML scripting language visualization authors can use with JHAVÉ-II to define the sequence of graphical snapshots, integrated pop-up questions, synchronized pseudocode, and supplemental information that comprise a particular algorithm visualization. JHAVÉ-II then uses these scripts to render visualizations and support student exploration of algorithms.
