A great deal of research being performed in computer science and in undergraduate and graduate programs in the sciences, centers around collaborative scientific projects and the visualization of the results. With so much activity in the scientific community today comprised of collaborative projects which include and require computer scientists, a logical step at this time is to expose students to the hardware, special devices, and software techniques of virtual reality, virtual world modeling, and scientific visualization. this paper describes a virtual world modeling laboratory for undergraduates in computer Science. Specific hardware, devices, software, and project specifications will be described.
Tablets are fully functional notebook computers. Collaborative learning software, like DyKnow, has been developed to extend the digital ink capabilities of tablets to make classrooms more engaging. the computational c...

Spatial data types provide a fundamental abstraction for modelling the geometric structures of objects in space, their relationships, properties and operations. In this work, we present a formal specification and verification of spatial data types withthe B-Toolkit. We give a formal specification of a realm and operations by using abstract machine notations of B. We then refine and implement a realm update operator in B, and verify formally an implementation of a realm update operator with B-Toolkit.

the five principal investigators (PIs) of the graphics and visualization center, a distributed NSF science and technology center, report on the lessons learned from reaching an interactive graduate-level seminar involving their five sites over a high-end communications infrastructure. the experiences related will be of value to institutions presently conducting or considering distance learning. Although the experiences reported here are based an a high-end scenario available to this research center, the present trends in technology and distance education should make these observations applicable in the imminent future to a large number of educational institutions.
We have developed a graphical user interface that supports the development of data-parallel programs for distributed-memory MIMD computers. the name of the tool is Intercom, since it facilitates programmer interaction...

the purpose of this paper is to describe a feasibility prototype of a computer-Aided Instruction (CAI) system, developed for mining engineering students and mine and safety personnel to teach the complex interrelationships between a mine ventilation system and a mine fire. the system employs an artificial intelligence technique to increase students' involvement in the learning process of "interrogation and confrontation". To deepen the understanding of the problem, the author utilized heuristic as well as algorithmic methods combined to simulate, diagnose, and explain certain fire situations. the CAI system mentioned above uses extensively a mine fire simulator that enables a real time graphics animation of almost all the changes occurring in the ventilation network while under the influence of fire.

the emergence of visual programming and processing environments and the raw power of computers now makes it possible to present technical subjects with interactive involvement of the student. We report on a development that is the analogy of a science laboratory for geometry. the result is an electronic book which contains text navigation facilities, supplementary menu driven modes, and in particular, embedded interactive demonstrations and animation. the electronic book was a prototype for a class in geometric design. the class is representative of many science and engineering courses that rely heavily on developing connections between algebra and geometry.
