  abstract =     "A key component of our attempt to integrate the
                 object-oriented paradigm into introductory and
                 intermediate courses is algorithm visualization. Such
                 visualization depicts an algorithm as a sequence of
                 graphical snapshots of data structures that are
                 operated upon at ``interesting events'' in the
                 algorithm's execution. Using object-oriented
                 techniques, we have significantly enchanced a previous
                 version of the algorithm visualization system called
                 GAIGS, developed at Lawrence. These enhancements allow
                 instructors and students to develop dynamic
                 visualizations with relative ease and, if desired,
                 extend the graphic operations that are built into GAIGS
                 to allow more personalized visualizations. The
                 resulting software package is being used in a core of
                 courses as a means of illustrating the power of the
                 object-oriented approach while at the same time
                 advancing students' understanding of difficult
                 algorithms. Because of the extensibility of the
                 object-oriented features of the system, we envision
                 many future applications in which it could be used. To
                 encourage the development of such applications, the
                 system is conveniently available via ftp.",
