teaching their students how to develop high-quality
software. As in industry, the most common and popular
way of assuring the quality of programs is through
software testing. In other words, quality is treated as
an afterthought or as postscript in program
development. The paper presents and discusses a quality
model that can be used to incorporate a wide variety of
quality assurance techniques within a curriculum. The
model also presents a structured approach for
introducing software testing into the educational

the principles of computing using the basic features of
some chosen programming language such as C, C++, Java,
Ada, Scheme, Eiffel, etc. Abstraction and encapsulation
focus on entities such as algorithms, functions, data
structures, classes, objects, and closures that can be
built directly on top of the raw language. If a
facility such as windows and graphics is not directly
available in the language then it is not used. This
means that student exercises tend to look inward at
computer science issues rather than outward to the
exciting applications that show the breadth and power
of computing. The fundamental thesis of this article is
that teaching students in the framework of powerful
toolkits is essential to maintain student interest and
is pedagogically important precisely because toolkits
are a rich source of examples that illustrate the
principles of computation. We hope to convince computer
science faculty that the use of toolkits is imperative
in a modern first year curriculum. We will first
discuss in general why toolkits are important. We will
spice this discussion with some simple illustrations
and with references to the use of toolkits by faculty
at other institutions. We will then describe the
toolkits we have developed at Northeastern University
and explain both what they do and why they are
pedagogically valuable. We will see how toolkits enable
students to do more interesting and effective work and
how principles of design and algorithms can be
demonstrated by the key components of the toolkits. We
will conclude with some general remarks and explain why
the arguments made against toolkits do not have
sufficient weight to change our conclusions. We will
also give the web site address where our toolkits are

constructivist learning environment upon field
dependent (FD) and field independent (FI) students'
achievement in an introductory computer programming
course. Prior research in traditional environments had
established a correlation between field dependence /
independence (FD/I) and the design stage of
programming. A correlational design was followed, using
introductory computer science students in their first
programming course. A pretest of BASIC programming
ability was given to assess baseline proficiency. The
Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT) was given to assess
each subject's measure of FD/I. A constructivist model
for learning programming was implemented. Achievement
tests in two of the stages of programming, design and
coding were administered. As additional dependent
variables, student construction of programming elements
--- the design (semantic) elements, and the
language-specific coding (syntax) elements --- were
collected in a portfolio and examined for both
qualitative and quantitative differences. No
significant correlations were found between FD/I and
the achievement scores of design and coding. No
correlation was expected between FD/I and coding. There
was no interaction between FD/I and design versus
coding. The correlation between FD/I and the quantity
of reconstructed programming elements was not
significant. The correlation between FD/I and the
quality of reconstructed programming elements was not
significant. No interaction was found between FD/I and
the quantity or quality of semantic versus syntactic
elements. Stepwise multiple regression identified two
predictors, for design, the predictor was the pretest.
Coding was predicted by the quantity of syntactic
programming elements. The principal finding of this
research, in contrast to findings in traditional
environments is that within this constructivist
environment, the cognitive style of FD/I was not found
to influence programming achievement.",

concentration emphasizes VB instead of C++.It
emphasizes web, database, and networking applications
instead of systems software;It puts more emphasis on
human issues in computing: ethics, computer-assisted
instruction, and systems analysis and specification;It
deemphasizes science and math, giving students more
opportunity to complete a minor of their choosing. Key
design criteria for the concentration included making
the content practical and attractive; teaching
short-term and long-term skills; and minimizing the
need for additional faculty. This final concern was
addressed by reworking selected courses in computer
organization, databases, networking, and software
engineering for the concentration. The new
concentration should meet the needs of students and
employers while improving retention and increasing
enrollment. Preliminary indications suggest that the IT
will become the department's most popular

recursion is introduced in a gradual way by means of
three fields (grammars, functional programming and
imperative programming). On the other hand, each
instance of recursion is explained so that all of its
accompanying mechanisms are clearly identified. The
approach has three main advantages. First, the teaching
of recursion is simplified because it is taught in a
gradual way. Second, the concept of recursion is
isolated and differentiated from other concepts or
mechanisms associated to particular instances of
recursion. Last, the student perceives recursion as a
recurrent concept in the discipline of computer

the rigid teacher centred learning structures of
traditional on-campus delivery and made no allowance
for the services required by off-campus students. In
response, teachers of off-campus students developed a
complementary proposal, based on actual time logs,
which reflected their student centred approach to
learning. Contrary to popular wisdom, off-campus
teaching was found to be more time-consuming than

the classroom as long as they're used in industry, so
as educators, we must find better ways to teach them.
This paper presents checked pointers, a simple wrapper
for C++ pointers that prevents pointer arithmetic and
other common sources of pointer errors, and detects all
dereferencing and deallocation errors, including memory
leaks. The syntax of checked pointers is highly
faithful to raw C++ pointers, but provides run-time
error detection and debugging information. After
debugging, changing one \#include is all that is
required to substitute a non-checking implementation
that is as fast as raw C++.",

curriculum reforms in the Undergraduate Computer
Science curriculum. The ACM/IEEE-CS task force is
currently working on the Curriculum 2001. In this
struggle to define and develop this dynamic field of
computer science, we have the opportunity to identify
the foundations and related concepts of mathematics we
would like to see in the new CS curriculum and
introduce these in CS1 and CS2. Many standard topics of
discrete mathematics can encourage the use of
mathematical thinking when taught along with the CS
courses. The more complex foundations and other
theoretical topics may be introduced later in the
curriculum. This session will present some of the views
and examples in this direction. Our goal is not to
eliminate the need of discrete math but to integrate it
into the basics of CS so that the student will
experience mathematical reasoning in the early stages
of the development of CS topics. Currently discrete
math is taught as one of the early math requirements
and many students do not see the relationship between
the programming concepts and these mathematical
concepts. An early blend of these ideas of will provide
a richer experience to CS majors and the new topics can
be learned more quickly if the underlying theoretical
concepts are well understood. The programming languages
of choice can be introduced in separate laboratory
components taken parallel to CS1 and CS2. We hope that
we all can agree that CS is not just programming and we
have a new discipline that must develop its basic
theory rather than depending on other disciplines to do
it for us. Someday, the courses we know now as CS1 and
CS2 maybe known as University Computing I and II as we
now have in some of the other sciences.",

rapidly, along with the demand for seats in computer
science courses. The problem of finding, recruiting,
and retaining computer science faculty may have reached
crisis proportions[1]. Meeting this demand means an
influx of new faculty, including perhaps nontraditional
faculty such as adjuncts from industry, emeriti,
graduate students, or faculty from other disciplines.
Such diversity is valuable but brings its own
challenges. One of these is acclimating new faculty,
particularly those from different academic or
industrial environments, to the norms, practices, and
expectations of a particular school and department.
These may vary considerably among institutions, and
some may be subtle and unrecognized, not always
identified in existing orientation materials. For the
new faculty's experience to be successful (for
themselves, for their students, and for the
institution), we must identify these issues. But we
must also make that information available in an
effective form: A comprehensive ``policies and
procedures'' manual may be left unread amid the more
immediate demands of meeting the first class or
starting a research program. Experienced colleagues
will have some answers, at least idiosyncratic ones,
and likely are willing to share them when they have a
free moment; even so, the new instructor may hesitate
to call on the same person too often. The panelists
will describe their experiences as new or adjunct
faculty or as those orienting such faculty; thereafter,
we will solicit experiences from the audience. We
expect to generate and disseminate a list of teaching
issues new faculty must address and a range of
strategies for helping those faculty address them. This
could serve as a ``Prototype FAQ,'' one that
institutions (or their new-faculty coordinators) could
adapt to local practices.",

abstract = "``I didn't think I'd like group work, but I ended up
in a good team and it was a great experience. But I
feel if you end up in a bad team it can really get you
down and will affect your mark.'' This student response
(University of Exeter, U.K.) is typical and telling. At
least some of the time teams work, and the progression
from ``didn't think I'd like'' to ``great experience''
happens often enough that those of us who use team work
have come to expect it, at least part of the time. The
ability to work well in teams is essential for our
graduates. It cuts across all the questions --- what,
where, why and how we teach. However, not all of our
students find working as a member of a team a natural
and easy thing to do. Not only that, even though the
student quoted in the preceding paragraph uses the
phrase ``good team'' and the phrase ``bad team'' these
and many other terms are not well defined. The Computer
Science (CS) academic community regards group project
work as an essential component of any degree; the
discipline's professional societies world-wide
emphasize project and group work as preparation for
professional practice. Project work is recognized as
having many educational and social benefits, in
particular providing students with opportunities for
active learning. Nevertheless, managing project work is
problematic, because CS projects are:expensive,
demanding considerable supervision as well as technical
resources; complex, marrying design, human
communication, human-computer interaction, and
technology to satisfy objectives ranging from
consolidation of technical skills through provoking
insight into organizational practice, teamwork and
professional issues, to inculcating academic discipline
and presentation skills; continually demanding, set in
the context of a rapidly changing technology which
affects technical objectives and demands ever-evolving
skills in both students and supervisors. In a young and
changing discipline, some aspect of project work is
questioned in almost every institution. The three
panelists bring experience from four educational
institutions in two countries. Louise Moses is Chair of
the Department of Computer Science and Information
Systems at Mount Union College. She has supervised team
projects in extra-departmental service courses, classes
provided for departmental majors, and
inter-disciplinary courses. During the summer term of
the previous three academic years she has been Honorary
Visiting Researcher in the Department of Computer
Science in the School of Engineering at The University
of Exeter, Exeter, U.K. In that position she has worked
as part of the management team for first year students
in the first year project. James Caristi is a professor
of mathematics and computer science at Valparaiso
University. He was the 1990 recipient of the Sears
Roebuck Award for Teaching Excellence and Campus
Leadership, and is the 1999 recipient of the
Distinguished Teaching Award from the Indiana Section
of the Mathematical Association of America. He has been
using teams in different ways in computer science
classes at all levels for over 15 years. Sally Fincher
is a Lecturer in the Computing Laboratory at the
University of Kent at Canterbury in England. She has
been project manager for the Effective Projectwork in
Computer Science (EPCoS) project. EPCoS was a
10-partner, three-year funded project which worked to
identify best practices in CS projectwork, transfer
those practices between institutions and examine and
analyze the process of transfer. We have wrestled with
project design and how to make team assignments. And,
even though providing good teamwork experiences is more
of an art than a science --- with no hard and fast
rules --- there are guidelines; it will be profitable
to share our knowledge and our experiences. We shall
consider six major areas concerning team and group
work, and the kind of issues that are associated with
them. Allocation How do we allocate students to groups?
And then groups to supervisors?Supervision What sort of
role should a supervisor take with respect to their
group? Friend, mentor, project manager or technical
guru? Does it make a difference? Assessment How do we
assess the contribution of an individual when the
deliverables are a team effort ? Should we even try to?
Motivation What happens when students get into a
``bad'' team? How do we keep them motivated? Reflection
Especially when introducing teamwork into the
curriculum, reflection is an essential part of the
learning cycle. How do we plan to make sure we include
time and opportunity for this? Teamwork How do we
encourage working together, when in some other academic
circumstances this might be called ``cheating''?",

abstract = "Object-oriented languages have been taught for some
time at universities. The most common approach has been
to teach those constructs required for imperative
programming first and to introduce the notion of
classes and objects somewhat later in the course. More
recently, many educators have been promoting the notion
of teaching about classes and objects first. This helps
students to adopt the object-oriented paradigm at an
early stage and encourages them to focus on the
application structure before beginning coding. Most new
textbooks have followed such an approach. While this
method has clear advantages, it is not easy to realise
in practice. This is partly a result of the languages
used for teaching. However, we would argue that the
major difficulty comes from the lack of program
development environments and tools which themselves
fully embrace the object-oriented paradigm. The use of
Java as the language for teaching addresses some of the
problems. Java with its clean support for the
object-oriented paradigm is now widely regarded as a
suitable choice for introductory teaching. The choice
of environment, however, remains an issue. The view of
the development environment as a major difficulty in
Java courses is further supported by numerous reports
of educators relating their experiences with teaching
introductory Java courses. While Java was consistently
described as an excellent language for teaching the
object-oriented paradigm, the environments available
are regularly identified as a significant source of
problems. These may be divided into two areas: The
environments are designed for professional programmers.
They are too complex and have a steep learning curve.
Thus valuable teaching time is spent teaching the
students how to use the environment and this detracts
from the principles of programming. Most of the
existing environments fail to fully adopt the
object-oriented paradigm. Users of the environment must
deal with files, lines of code and directory
hierarchies rather than classes, objects and
relationships. In this seminar we will argue the case
that the requirements for teaching the object-oriented
paradigm and Java can only be satisfied by the
provision of a program development environment
specifically designed for teaching. We will introduce
BlueJ, a relatively new development environment which
addresses all of these issues. We will show how the
unique features of this environment can be used to
create an introductory Java course that fully embraces
the ``object first'' approach and supports the
presentation of a cleaner picture of the paradigm than
previously possible. BlueJ is based heavily on earlier
work by us on a language and environment called Blue.
BlueJ is a complete Java development environment,
written entirely in Java. It provides graphical support
for object-oriented design, abstracts over files and
the operating system and provides fully integrated
support for a design, edit, compile and test cycle. In
addition, BlueJ supports interactive creation of
objects and interactive calling of methods of objects.
This provides support for incremental development, one
of the major advantages of object-orientation. It
includes an easy-to-use debugger and support for
applications and applets. One of the main differences
between BlueJ and other environments is its distinct
focus on a teaching context. It combines powerful tools
with an easy-to-use interface, avoiding the complexity
that creates so many problems when using existing
environments in a classroom. BlueJ has been used very
successfully for two semesters as Monash University.
The presentation will provide the context in which the
BlueJ project has been developed. We will discuss the
design principles for BlueJ, the major aims of the
project and our experiences with using it in class. A
demonstration of the current version of BlueJ will be
given. We will also demonstrate a set of examples and
problems which can be used in a first Java course and
show how the course structure can be improved and
support teaching ``objects first'' with the
availability of an environment that fully supports the
paradigm. BlueJ is available free of charge and can be
used by any interested institution. Details of how to
obtain a copy of BlueJ will be provided at the
seminar.",

for SIGCSE conferences and, unfortunately, recommending
rejection of the majority of the submissions. While
some undoubtedly deserved the recommendation, others
described work that is potentially interesting and
relevant, but the papers were so poorly written that it
was impossible to judge the ideas fairly. I am writing
this message to help SIGCSE members write better papers
and improve their chances of acceptance. A review is
like an audition: you have prepared your presentation
for weeks or months, yet you only have a few minutes to
convince a director (who knows nothing about you) that
you are better than those appearing before or after
you. The key words here are that the reviewer knows
nothing about you. You may have been working on a
project for months, but you only have four pages in
which to ``perform.'' You have two tasks when you write
a paper. First, you must structure your paper so that
your ideas and work are clearly and fully described
within the page limit. Second, and more importantly,
you must place your work in context so that the
reviewer can decide if it is significant and
relevant.",

distance education, where teachers and students can be
distributed worldwide. However, much of today's
Internet-based teaching is limited to student access of
Web-based multimedia documents. In this paper we
describe new dimensions in distributed education that
are possible in synchronous sessions where the students
interact with the teacher in real time. We review and
elaborate on the nature of the MUVE, a spatially
oriented, network-accessed software environment that
uses persistent object technology to promote student
creativity and allow continuity between online
sessions. We describe our experiences in using a MUVE
to enable distributed education at the college level in
graduate and undergraduate courses, and its use with
high school students in the DARPA Computer-Assisted
Education and Training Initiative (CAETI).",

has been developed to be easy to use. The initial
evaluation of the center examined by a few students
have complemented that the center has improved their
understanding to some data communication concepts which
the center already supports. Although our intention is
to support one topic at the first stage of this
project, one can easily add other topics to the center.

toward computing courses. In 1985, a study of college
freshmen was conducted to determine their attitudes

that time, access to and experience with computers was
not the norm for the typical student about to enter the
university. The 1985 study found that females, as well
as students with no computer experience, reported the
most negative encounters with computing. We intend to
expand the original study, delving into whether or not
the programming language learned, compiler and
operating system used, peer and parental attitudes, as
well as other factors, influence a student's attitude
toward computing. We are particularly interested in
examining these attitudes from the standpoint of women
and minorities, those who are still least likely to
have prior, in-depth computer experience. Additionally,
with the ease of communication due to email and the
internet, we believe it is of interest to computing
educators worldwide to participate in such a study. We
will provide a survey instrument, a set of World Wide
Web tools, and a database. Faculty and their classes
from around the world will be encouraged to
participate. Each institution will be able to
immediately compare the profile of their students with
those of other schools. We will provide search
capabilities on several key fields in order to
facilitate participant data analysis. We foresee the
results of our survey generating a dialogue among
educators and possibly changing the direction of and/or

emerging standard UML [4]). Such languages or notations
are an excellent means of communication and

raise additional difficulties: not only a large number
of new ideas and a new way of thinking has to be
learned, but also a highly non-intuitive graphic
notation to present these ideas. The newly developed
Object Visualization and Annotation Language (OVAL) is
a simple illustrative notation which aims at OO
novices. It visualizes the key ideas of

students using a web-based learning system are likely
to study alone and with relatively little classmate
support and pressure. Teachers in a web-based learning
system may apply the group-learning model to overcome
this problem. Therefore, teachers first need to
organize, manage, and monitor the group learning.
Additionally, they must take appropriate actions based
on teaching strategies to improve the learning
achievements of the students. To perform these tasks
effectively, the teachers must obtain relevant
information by searching and analyzing the huge amount
of web-access logs or by monitoring web interactions.
This will be burdensome and difficult to do well for
the teachers. This work presents novel methodologies
for developing instruments to assist teachers in
performing grouping, intervention and strategy
analysis. The proposed methodologies apply data mining
tools provided by existing database management systems.
A tool is initially R developed to assist in organizing
learning groups according to teacher specifications.
Database techniques, including multidimensional cube,
are then applied to make student web logs meaningful
and helpful to teachers in managing group learning. The
associate rule mining tool is finally employed to
assist teachers in analyzing their pedagogical
strategies. These tools relieve the teacher of tedious
data collection and analysis, and thus can focus on
managing the groups to promote student learning

enhances teachers' and students' scientific conception

elaboration is done by directing the students, at the
primary stage of problem analysis, to look for problem
characteristics from various angles, in different ways,

colorful and attractive examples, which include
challenging problems and games, often with physical

mathematical maturity (especially in discrete
mathematics) early in their undergraduate studies, thus
becoming well-prepared to integrate mathematical ideas,
notations, and methodologies throughout their study of
computer science. A major curricular implication of
this theme is that the prerequisite expectations and
conceptual level of the first discrete mathematics
course should be the same as it is for the first
calculus course --- secondary school pre-calculus and
trigonometry. Ultimately, calculus, linear algebra, and
statistics are also essential for computer science
majors, but none should occur earlier than discrete
mathematics. This paper explains our concerns and
outlines our response as a series of examples and

abstract = "This paper describes a novel approach to the on-line
assessment of large groups of students, in which it may
be desirable to maintain common questions between the
groups. It is clear from the literature that computer
based assessment has the potential to dramatically
reduce the effort involved in testing and marking
however problems arise where the cohort of students is
larger than the number of available computers. However,
the opposite situation is often true in practice, due
to the perceived need to design multiple tests. The
solution described here uses a small computer
laboratory (20 machines) to administer a test to a
series of groups of students in existing lab sessions.
Each group receives the same set of questions but the
data to which the questions apply, and hence the test
answers, vary from group to group. The data from tests
that have been applied to students is analysed to
determine whether discussions with early candidates
have influenced the performance of students in later
testing sessions.",

laboratory to teach computer security using persistent
cooperative groups and an active learning approach.
Computer security and computer security education are
areas of increasing importance as computer systems
become more interconnected. When offered, undergraduate
and graduate computer security courses are routinely
taught using a traditional lecture format. If the
course includes a class project, the class project is
limited in scope and constitutes a relatively small
portion of the student's grade. This paper examines a
different approach in which the class project is the
dominant factor in the student's grade. The students
work in persistent cooperative teams as either a black
or gold team. Black teams attempt to break into other
black team computers or attack the gold team. The gold
team operates Windows NT, LINUX, and Solaris-based
servers and attempts to defend their servers and
role-play system administrators. The entire exercise
takes place in an isolated lab so as to separate
student class activities from the rest of the
departmental intranet. Four years of experience running
the class with this format suggests that the use of
persistent cooperative groups and active learning are
effective approaches for teaching network security and
are preferred over a lecture-based course.",

however, do not generally support these techniques.
Consequently, we have built and are beginning to
experiment with Javiva. Javiva extracts pre-conditions,
post-conditions, and abstraction functions---included
as stylized comments in Java source files---and uses
them to create instrumented class files. When these
instrumented class files are run, they automatically
diagnose and report violations by methods of pre- and
post-conditions. These classes also exploit abstraction
functions to automatically produce abstract

solved six programming problems with feedback from
InSTEP; the second group solved the same six problems
without feedback from InSTEP; both groups had access to
feedback from teaching assistants. While both groups of
students took about the same amount of time to complete
the problems and performed about the same on a
subsequent test, the students who received feedback
from InSTEP spent less than a third of the time asking

First, it provides fresh motivation for fundamental
algorithms and data structures that are finding new
applications in the context of the Internet. Second, it
provides a source for introducing new algorithms and
data structures that are derived from specific Internet
applications. In this paper, we suggest some key
pedagogical and curriculum updates that can be made to
the classic CS7/DS\&A course to turn it into a
course on Internet Algorithmics. We believe that such a
course will stimulate new interest and excitement in
material that is perceived by some students to be
stale, boring, and purely theoretical. We argue that
the foundational topics from CS7/DS\&A should
remain even when it is taught in an Internet-centric
manner. This, of course, should come as no surprise to
the seasoned computer scientist, who understands the

abstract = "This paper reports an interactive dynamic model using
Continuous Knowledge Management methods and Knowledge
Sharing technology to integrate the acquisition of
skills and relevant information (knowledge level) into
diverse, individualized, concurrent learning processes
in a traditional classroom setting. As opposed to a
passive introduction of technology to facilitate the
traditional learning processes a Web based active
learning and continuous evaluation process was created
which integrates objective scientific knowledge
relating to course content, subjective knowledge
obtained through personal interactions and empirical
knowledge collected during the learning process.
Knowledge Management, an emerging area of Artificial
Intelligence, encompasses identifying, mapping, and
managing intellectual assets to generate new knowledge
for competitive advantage and for sharing of
technology. The Web-based model of knowledge management
discussed here allows a diverse group of learners to
progressively interact and participate in the learning
process, providing non-threatening self-evaluation and
just-in-time individualized feedback to the learners
and efficient tracking and supervision tools to the
instructor. CS1003, a required general education class
provides an ideal application of this model as the
course draws from a diverse body of students ranging
from history to math majors and from freshmen to
seniors. The instructional design of this course using
the interactive dynamics of Knowledge Management
includes (i) provision of course archives and relevant
static information as a passive repository, (ii) Web
Discussion Forums, electronic chats and email
communication for active learning and continuous
interaction, (iii) an intelligent self-evaluation and
grade reporting system for non-threatening self-testing
and what-if analysis of performance, and (iv) a dynamic
student feedback system including individualized
supervision and anonymous feedback. Application of this
instructional process enhanced the goals of the course
from mere computer literacy to what the 1999 NRC Report
calls Fluency in Information Technology (FIT). Three
kinds of knowledge requirements are identified for FIT:
(1) Contemporary skills, (2) Foundational concepts, and
(3) Intellectual capabilities. This model is broadly
applicable to extend the benefits of traditional
classroom instruction to focus diverse intellectual
abilities and interests in a collaborative learning
process. Formal and informal evaluation support this
claim, demonstrating that the transition from purely
traditional teaching to a high degree of technology
fluency can be painless, efficient and effective in
preparing the students for a technology intensive
information age.",

sections. The teaching methods studied here were having
students write programming assignments from scratch
versus having them add to or modify existing
well-written, well-documented programs. The results are
perhaps not surprising. After controlling for certain
factors, the statistical analysis showed that students
who added to program templates as programming
assignments scored better on the comprehensive

models based on different levels of detail e.g.,
semiconductors, transistors, digital circuits. Such
models are designed to progressively hid irrelevant

However, developments in computer technology have
resulted in a low cost, heterogeneous modular
architecture that is difficult to model using current
methods. This paper proposes a new generic method of
modeling computer technology at a higher level of
abstraction than those currently used. Investigations
to date indicate that this model is independent of
architectural detail and can therefore accommodate
changes in technology. This new model is more directly
relevant to the cheap, low-cost modular architectures
in use today. Furthermore, all work to date has
strongly indicated it may be useful as the basis of a
new pedagogical framework for teaching not only
introductory but also more advanced computer
technology.",

to enable students to rapidly develop graphical user
interfaces in freshman computer science programming
projects. Because it is simple to create GUIs using
JPT, students can focus on the more fundamental issues
of computer science rather than on widget management.
In a separate article[4], we will discuss with examples
how the JPT can help freshman students to learn about
the basics of algorithms, data structures, classes, and
interface design. In this article, we will focus on how
the JPT itself can be used as an extended case study of
object-oriented design principles in a more advanced
course. The fundamental design principles of the JPT
are that the elements of a graphical user interface
should be able to be combined recursively as nested
views and that the communication between these views
and the internal data models should be as automatic as
possible. In particular, in JPT, the totality of user
input from a complex view can be easily converted into
a corresponding data model and any input errors will be
detected and corrected along the way. This ease of
communication is achieved by using string objects as a
lingua franca for views and models and by using parsing
when appropriate to automatically check for errors and
trigger recovery. The JPT achieves its power by a
combination of computer science and software design
principles. Recursion, abstraction, and encapsulation
are systematically used to create GUI tools of great
flexibility. It should be noted that a much simpler
pedagogical package for Java IO was recently presented
in [9].",

abstract = "There are deep connections between algorithmic and
mathematical thinking. Both construct ``systems'' ---
computing systems in the algorithmic case, intellectual
ones in mathematics --- from simple primitives. As
Knuth notes in the preface to The Art of Computer
Programming, ``The construction of a computer program
from a set of basic instructions is very similar to the
construction of a mathematical proof from a set of
axioms'' [1]. Other connections include similar ways of
organizing primitives into larger structures (e.g.,
recursion in algorithms, recursion and induction in
math; conditionals in algorithms, definition in cases
and proof by cases in math), similar ways of using
abstraction to manage complexity, and an underlying
reliance on logic. In short, mathematics is not merely
a tool for limited areas of computer science, it is a
mindset that fundamentally improves one's ability to
devise and implement algorithms. Computer science
students therefore need to exercise their mathematical
as well as their computational abilities, and computer
science educators need to help students use both ways
of thinking to solve computing problems. This panel
illustrates specific ways in which mathematical
reasoning enhances algorithmic problem solving, and
provides educators with concrete examples and resources
to use in their own teaching. Each panelist will
present an exercise, classroom example, or similar
item, from their own experience, and will demonstrate
ways in which mathematical reasoning helps one solve
and/or understand it. The audience will be invited to
contribute their own examples and to comment further on
the role of mathematical thinking in computer science
problem solving. The panelists' and audience members'

another for a number of years. Work in this area can be
classified into two broad categories. On the one hand,
a number of researchers have approached the concept of
software components from a first principles
perspective, advancing ideas regarding what constitutes
the ideal component paradigm from perspectives of
efficiency, verifiability and reusability. On the other
hand, recent commercial advances in a number of popular
technologies have elevated the software component
concept into widespread use within the software
practitioner community. Such technologies include a
number of technologies made popular by Microsoft (such
as Active-X, COM, DCOM and Visual Basic), as well as
CORBA and Java Beans. Neither of these perspectives on
software components has become a standard cornerstone
of software development pedagogy. Yet both perspectives
may have an important role in preparing software
developers to build high-quality software in the
context of modern software development technologies. In
particular, teaching students how to design and
construct software components from first principles
provides students with important guidance as to the
``right way'' to structure correct and efficient
software systems (i.e., with emphasis on ``what''
component-based systems should contain). On the other
hand, teaching students about current commercial
component technologies exposes students to the
important dimension of best commercial practice (i.e.,
with emphasis on ``how'' component-based systems could
be built).The participants of this panel are all
actively involved in the development of courses and
curricula that provide various perspectives on
component-based systems. They represent both the first
principles and commercial perspectives discussed above.

experience. I had to dig deep. I had ideas I was
excited about and found others that were excited about
them as well. I also found strong opposition to my
approach, which was difficult for publishers to
evaluate. My experience raised a number of questions
that I have outlined below. These questions range from
personnel motivation to future trends in computing. I
have gathered a panel of respected authors. I have
asked each to respond to some of these questions. Time
will also be available for the audience to ask

programming concept in which objects from two or more
different classes respond to the same set of messages.
For instance, HourlyEmployee, SalariedEmployee, and
ContractEmployee all respond to the message
calculatePay(). Instances of each class ``do the right
thing'' to calculate their pay even though the methods
to do so may be quite different. But the payroll
program using these classes doesn't care --- it can ask
each object for the amount owed without caring what
kind of employee it represents or how the amount is
calculated. The panelists are all instances of
subclasses of Professor which will respond to the
following queries. Since each of the subclasses
implement these queries differently, the answers will
usually be different as well! $ \bullet $
polymorphPreconditions(): The object (professor)
specifies the information students must know before
polymorphism is introduced in their class. $ \bullet $
polymorphPresentation(): The object (professor)
describes how polymorphism is introduced in their
class. $ \bullet $ polymorphStudentUsage(): The object
(professor) describes how their students use
polymorphism later in the course. $ \bullet $
answerQuestions(): The object (professor) responds to
any questions about their approach.",

begin in Computer Science II that assumes knowledge of

an existing web resource, which is a rich collection of

general computing education community and the formal
methods community. The goal is to allow the latter to
provide useful support for the former for the ultimate

integrated seamlessly into the computing curriculum so
that it is not necessary to separate them in our

Information Technology (CIT) have expressed a need for
graduates to have a background in professional,
societal, and ethical concerns as well as a strong
technical capability (Huff and Martin, 1995). Some
educators have gone so far as to include cultural
awareness: ``The cultural dimensions of information
technology can no longer be ignored, with the expansion
of the global economy, global markets and global
communication enabled by information technology''
(Hasan and Ditsa, 1998, p. 5). The rationale for
supporting and enhancing instruction in cultural issues
for CIT workers comes from the growing globalization of
the world in communication, the increase of
trans-national organizational mergers and partnerships,
the merging of various populations within national
boundaries, the increasing traffic of individuals to
different countries around the world, and the severe
shortage of information technology personnel throughout
the world. This paper provides material to support the
inclusion of cultural issues within the CIT curriculum.
The topics identified, which include diversity and
multiculturalism, organizational cultures, professional
cultures, socio-economic issues, and gender issues,
form a foundation body of knowledge that, once learned,
can improve and enhance the work of the information
technology professional. Exercises are provided that
can be incorporated into existing CIT courses across a
wide variety of programs, nations, and cultures. As the
internationalization of education continues, more
exercises and examples will surely arise from the CIT
community.",

were used to simulate the behaviour of processes in a
distributed system in order to explain the concept of
self-stabilisation in a graduate course on distributed
systems. A self-stabilising system is one that ensures
that the system's behaviour eventually stabilises to a
safe subset of states regardless of the initial state.
Protocols satisfying this elegant property, which
enables a system to recover from transient failures
that can alter the state of the system, are often hard
to understand, especially for students that have not
studied distributed computing and systems before. The
experiment was part of an introductory course on
distributed computing and systems for graduates in
October 2000. The purpose of this interactive animation
was to introduce to the students the basic concepts
behind self-stabilisation (eligible states, transient
faults, execution convergence) before their formal
introduction. All of the students had a degree either
in mathematics or computing science and had taken a
course on algorithms before. However, most of the
students did not have a background in distributed
systems or distributed algorithms. The latter was not
only the motivation for preparing this method of
presentation but also what made this a challenging
effort. The feedback from the class was that the
concept and this teaching method were very well
received. We could observe that their understanding
evolved to the point that they were able to
successfully come up with ideas for solutions and argue
for/prove their correctness. As suggested in [1],
dramatisation of executions can help the students to
understand new issues and complications. This work
shows that this is true even for graduate level
courses. In our experiment we could conclude that
dramatisation can be almost as powerful as a
programming exercise in the teaching process; sometimes
even more efficient, especially when we need to teach
new concepts to an audience with diverse educational
backgrounds. In analysing the results of our method we
make a combination of the qualitative and quantitative
approaches [4].",

architecture based on a client/server derivation
scheme: each client can interact with one or more
servers emulating one or more networks by the NOEL
protocol (Network Oriented Emulation Language), which
is an extension of TCL over TCP/IP specifically
designed for NetWire. The user can thus control all the
physical parameters of each network or part of it
(communication channels, hubs, network adapters and so
on).Furthermore, the NetWire API library interfaces the
synthetic network environment to real software
applications with ease, hiding the whole architecture
behind the appearance of a network device driver, fully
compatible with the operating system the applications
run on. Moreover, NetWire already provides a featured
Xwindows interface, and because of the integrated TCL
language and the interactions between NOEL and TK, it
is possible to fastly build up new and powerful GUI
based programs. Thus, the field of application of
NetWire is twofold: on a side, it may be used as a tool
for teaching distributed algorithms on parallel and
distributed operating systems, and on the other one it
is a tool for the research and development of new

these efforts have been studied is a small

personal computers, even bubble sorting an array of a
few thousand items appears to occur instantaneously. In
addition, most textbooks provide the program code for
implementing most of the standard sorting algorithms,
such as bubble sort, selection sort, and quick sort.
Since our introductory course has a closed lab period
each week, I looked for something to do with my
students when it came to sorting. Making them type in
the code that was in the book seemed a waste of time.",

Moreover, it can be doubted whether novice programmers

to teach abstraction explicitly to novices. We show
that even for simple problems it makes sense to look
for levels of abstraction in the problem definition and
subsequently to design programs that reflect explicitly
those levels of abstraction. We will discuss the way it
works on the basis of a simple example.",

integrative or capstone course in which students
undertake a significant project under supervision.
There are many different models for such courses and
conducting these courses is a complex task. This report
is intended to assist instructors of capstone courses,
particularly those new to the model of teaching and
learning inherent in the capstone course. This paper
discusses important issues that must be addressed when
conducting capstone courses. These issues are addressed
through a series of questions, with answers reflecting
the way that different institutions have chosen to
handle them, and commentary on the impact of these
different choices. These questions include: Goals of
the Course; Characteristics of Projects; Project
Deliverables; Sponsors; Teams; Prerequisites and
Preparation; Grading and Assessment; Administration and
Supervision; and Reflection, Analysis and Review.
Subsequently we present information about the companion
Web site, intended as an active repository of best
practice for instructors of capstone projects. The Web
site will have examples of information about capstone
courses and materials used by instructors. Readers are
invited to contribute content to this site. The paper
concludes with a bibliography of additional reference
material and resources.",

domains including computer science and mathematics

point of view that illuminates an appealing solution
path. The 'Aha' reaction is common to all. Its
occurrence is related to the problem-solvers' common
perspectives and solution repertoires. Whether more
frequent or less frequent, 'Aha' occurrences enrich and
strengthen perspectives and repertoires in a
stimulating manner. Consider the following Ladder
Problem: calculate the number of different ways to
climb an N-stage ladder when each step is either one or
two stages. One solution perspective may be 'forward
reasoning', leading to a systematic accumulation of the
possible climbing paths. Another perspective may be
combinatorial, leading to the calculation of all the
combinations of 1 and 2 that sum to N. A third
perspective may be 'backward reasoning', yielding
recursive decomposition of the N$^{th}$ case into the
N-1 and N-2 cases. Some problem-solvers may fairly
quickly invoke the third perspective and elegantly
obtain the N$^{th}$ Fibonacci number. Others may first
follow one of the other perspectives and later realize
the illuminating third perspective. The 'Aha' reactions
among the solvers may vary. However, both less
experienced and more experienced solvers will gain from
recognizing the relevance and elegance of the recursive
decomposition and enhance their problem-solving
repertoires.",

Internet/Web as the central principle, and address its
issues and needs. In this panel, the panelists will
share their experience designing courses and
concentrations to address this need, and present their
vision for what an Internet-related Curriculum should
include: the courses, the technologies, and the
overarching themes. The viewpoints presented here are
quite diverse: arguing in favor of Internet-related
coursework for majors versus non-majors, as a
course/minor/major, as an across-the-curriculum theme,
as an interdisciplinary endeavor, as an introductory
course versus a capstone course, and from the points of
view of a community college, four-year institutions and
a graduate institution. We hope that these diverse
viewpoints will foster vigorous discussion at the panel
about the place of Internet-Computing in the Computer
Science curriculum, and its design.",
