Most of the Java tutorials found on the Web are more or less well reformatted versions of lecture notes or textbooks. As a consequence these tutorials have just as little interactivity and adaptivity as the printed originals. The tutorial JOSH-online presented in this article enables students to learn Java programming step by step, by interactive trial and error. The tutorial not only provides ...

The rapid growth of the World Wide Web (WWW) has given educators unprecedented opportunities to provide information to students not only within their own classes, but also around the world. We are developing software which uses the WWW to distribute tutorials to students studying control systems. These tutorials provide students with information from diverse sources in a useful form when and wh...

Iworked with Raj Reddy during my two years as a research computer scientist at Carnegie Mellon University. I had been hired by Raj and Allen Newell to play a lead role on the Hearsay-II speech understanding project in 1976. After that, I moved to Rand Corporation and, shortly thereafter, took over the leadership of the research program in information processing systems, where the focus was on A...

By permitting designers to realistically, accurately and quantitatively prototype and test multiple intermediate models within virtual environment, Virtual Prototyping (VP), also known as Simulation-Based Design (SBD), has rapidly gained popularity and become a crucial part of most engineering design processes. While there is a significant demand from industry for students trained in this metho...

Teaching an introductory course on control systems to undergraduate students often seeks elaborations on real engineering world control system applications to assist students in grasping theoretical concepts. In this paper, the newly developed animated and interactive control systems tutorials are presented. The paper shows that this teaching approach helps students in bridging the gap between ...
