Understanding concurrent programming through program animation
Martín Zimmermann, F. Perrenoud, A. Schiper · 1988
Program animation has mainly been developed for sequential programs. Animation of concurrent programs is much more uncommon, mainly because of the important technical problems. This paper presents a project whose objective is to animate any concurrent program written in the language Portal, a real time language close to Modula. The usefulness of animation in the context of teaching is shown by a few examples.
