One of the best ways to learn how to use an AV is to watch someone else use it. Unless you have a knowledgeable classmate, professor, or colleague on-site, this means you'll need to watch a tutorial video. The JHAVÉ group recently started posting demo videos of their AVs on YouTube, like the one above on DFS. Read on to learn more about the videos or about JHAVÉ.

After several months of work, the AlgoViz team is pleased to announce the release of our new catalog of Algorithm Visualizations. This site — AlgoViz.org — is the successor of the original AlgoViz Wiki, whose most significant achievement was the comprehensive catalog of over 500 AVs. Until recently, clicking on the "AV Catalog" link at the top of this page would have taken you back to the original catalog at the Wiki. Now we have finally completed the initial stages of our port of the Wiki catalog to AlgoViz.org.

The AlgoViz Portal's annotated bibliography now contains over 500 papers! This expansion was made possible by the generous assistance of Guido Rößling, Susan Rodger, Chris Hundhausen, and Ville Karavirta and his colleagues at Aalto University. Each contributed references or BibTeX files for processing. Our bibliography entries now contains much of the existing literature on Algorithm Visualization, plus many additional references on Software Visualization and related topics.

The AlgoViz team is back from SIGCSE 2010 in Milwaukee, and it was a huge success! Thanks to everyone who visited our booth in the Exhibition or attended our Special Session! One of the many things we did at the conference was run a brief survey about AVs and using them in the classroom. This survey was included in the participant's bag that all registrants received, it was handed out at the booth in the Exhibition, and it was also handed out at the Special Session.
