Abstract

We present a toolkit for developing and visualizing distributed algorithms in Java. This toolkit consists of a Java class library with a simple programming interface that allows to develop distributed algorithms in a message passing model. The resulting programs may be executed in standalone mode using a Java interpreter or embedded as applets into HTML documents and executed by a Web browser. The toolkit has been applied in various university courses and is freely available.
