The "Algorithms Studio" Project: Using Sketch-Based Visualization Technology to Construct and Discuss Visual Representations of Algorithms
نویسنده
چکیده
The “Algorithms Studio” project explores a novel, studio-based approach to teaching an undergraduate course on computer algorithms. Inspired by the design studio commonly used in architecture education, the approach emphasizes conceptual design activities in which students use sketch-based algorithm visualization technology to create their own visual representations of the algorithms under study. They then discuss their representations with their peers and instructor within the context of regularly scheduled critique sessions. A diverse program of planned empirical studies will investigate the value and role of visualization technology in learning algorithms at the cognitive, social, and cultural levels.

Project scheduling optimization for contractor’s Net present value maximization using meta-heuristic algorithms: A case study
Today's competitive conditions have caused the projects to be carried out in the least possible time with limited resources. Therefore, managing and scheduling a project is a necessity for the project. The timing of a project is to specify a sequence of times for a series of related activities. According to their priority and their latency, so that between the time the project is completed and ...

This study aims to discuss the solution methodology for a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) network that includes the collection of used products as well as distribution of the new products. This supply chain is presented on behalf of the problems that can be solved by the proposed meta-heuristic algorithms. A mathematical model is designed for a CLSC that involves three objective functions of ma...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Set of Algorithms for the Multi-Project Scheduling Problems
In this paper, the problem of determining the best schedule for a set of projects has been modeled in the form of a generalized tardiness flowshop (GTF) problem. We develop a set of heuristic algorithms for minimizing the total tardiness of jobs in a GTF problem. In the generalized version of tardiness flowshop problems, a job is considered to be a collection of operations and there is a due da...
متن کاملLow-Fidelity Algorithm Visualization
Computer science educators have traditionally used algorithm visualization (AV) software to create graphical representations of algorithms for use as visual aids in lectures, or as the basis for interactive labs. Typically, such visualizations are high fidelity in the sense that (a) they depict the target algorithm for arbitrary input, and (b) they tend to have the polished look of textbook fig...
