  abstract =     "This paper proposes a computer based environment to
                 aid in teaching algorithms. The environment is called
                 ASA (Algorithm Simulator and Animator) and it is being
                 developed for SENAC, a Brazilian company, associated to
                 Brazilian National Commerce Confederation, responsible
                 for technical education. The text discusses
                 difficulties in teaching algorithms and suggests the
                 computer as a tool capable of decreasing existing
                 learning barriers. In this context we present the goal
                 of the ASA project. We review other on going projects
                 also oriented towards teaching about algorithms through
                 computers which bear some influence on our work. In
                 sequence, we present the ASA system's architecture. The
                 system's three modules are described as: Algorithm
                 Presentor, Animator (Data Animator and Code Animator)
                 and Constructor. The experience gained in implementing
                 the prototype is reported. Difficulties encountered and
                 even implementation details are also reported. The
                 experience provides insights for the project's future
                 directions. We end by discussing the main research
                 areas in operation, that are results from the
                 experience gained.",
