Design and implementation of a tool for teaching programming
(1989) Göktepe, Mesut; Özgüç, Bülent; Baray, Mehmet
Recently, computers have been widely used in almost all fields of education. Our approach to computer aided education is mainly concerned with programming. Here, it is intended to teach the Pascal language for problem solving in a visual manner. In this project, we have used an object oriented approach for the implementation of an educational tool for programming. The paper mainly discusses the topics related to computer aided education, user interface, object oriented programming and ongoing research related to the project.

Experience using a project-based approach in an introductory programming course
(IEEE, 2000) Davenport, D.
This paper describes how and why our department chose to integrate a sophisticated visual programming environment (DELPHI) into the introductory programming course (CS101/2) of the first-year undergraduate engineering curriculum. It also reports on the outcome of this venture, which involved a switch from a conventional lecture-based approach to teaching CS102 to a project-based approach. While it meant more work for both students and teachers the overall response from both parties was very positive. Indeed, the resulting designs and subsequent survey results seem to confirm that students achieved a better appreciation and understanding of the course's objectives.

Graph visualization toolkits
(IEEE, 2002) Dogrusoz, U.; Feng, Q.; Madden, B.; Doorley, M.; Frick, A.
The Graph Layout Toolkit and Graph Editor Toolkit, which provide a framework for graph visualization useful in a broad array of application areas are introduced. As such, an architectural overview of these tools is presented and discusses the challenges encountered during implementation and integration of theory and research results into such tools. In particular, the automatic graph layout and labeling algorithms and complexity management techniques are discussed. In addition, some examples of applications using these tools are presented.

New radix-2-based algorithm for fast median filtering
(IEEE, 1989) Karaman, M.; Onural, L.
A fast radi-2-based median filtering algorithm is proposed. The median is determined bit-by-bit successively by eliminating the samples whose previous bits are different to that of the median. The intermediate computations of the algorithm do not involve any array computation, nor any memory. The worst-case computational complexity of the algorithm is O(w) for w samples.
