Abstract

We propose a new approach to algorithm visualization over the Web, called publication-driven approach. According to the publication-driven approach, algorithms run on a developer's remote server and their data structures are published on blackboards held by the clients. Animations are specified by attaching visualization handlers to the data structures published on the client's blackboard: modifications to these structures, due to the remote algorithm execution, trigger 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 available at the URL http://www.dis.uniroma1.it/~wave.
