SRec and VAST: Visualizing Software with a Student-Centered Aim

Abstract

-This paper reviews software visualization focused on the educational environment. Software visualization is a very wide study field, so we have focused on two areas: recursion visualization and parsers' visualization. The paper contains a retrospective about what has been made on it, what lacks we have found and the solution provided by the authors: SRec and VAST, two software tools trying to make a significant difference between them and the software made before.

An intelligent tutoring system for supporting active learning: A case study on predictive parsing learning

“…At present, a series of tools for this purpose have been proposed, designed and used [35] . Among these we can mention ANAGRA, 1 BURGRAM 2 [36] , JavaPars, 3 PAVT [37] , SEFALAS, JFLAP 4 [38] , VAST [39] , [40] , CUPV [41] , PPVT [42] , LISA 5 [43] , Evaluators 2.0 [44] , VCOCO [45] , PAG [46] , Grammophone 6 or Proletool 2.0 7 [47] .…”
