The Mocha algorithm animation system

ABSTRACT

We describe the implementation of a new system, called Mocha, for providing algorithm animation over the World Wide Web. Mocha is a distributed system with a client-server architecture that optimally partitions the software components of a typical algorithm animation system, and leverages the power of the Java language, an emerging standard for distributing interactive platform-independent applications across the Web.
