Abstract

Teaching and learning graph algorithms is a great challenge to both instructors and students. Instructors are seeking software that is specifically designed to demonstrate the algorithms and for students to learn these algorithms efficiently. The software program should be readily available and provide an environment so that students are able to review the algorithm, solve a practical problem, and intuitively study the working process via a graphical display all together. This paper presents an "Internet Accessible Program Package for Graph Algorithms" (IAPPGA) developed by the author. This package can be accessed via an Internet browser at any time, anywhere without downloading or installing any software.
