Abstract

A multimedia programming approach for the generalized graph search (traversal) algorithms is considered. It is based on a concept of cyberFilm, which is a set of multi-media frames defining algorithmic features. Through these frames, the user can represent computational steps and specify "activity" within the steps. Each set of multimedia frames, represented by a special icon, is supported by a set of template programs to generate corresponding executable codes. Such icons and sets of template programs behind them provide powerful repetitive-type constructs for specifying computational algorithms.The main contributions of this paper are an introduction of a cyberFilm developed for the generalized graph search algorithms and a description of the template programs supporting this cyberFilm.
