Research Abstract |
This research proposes a learning support system to help students understand fundamental concepts of distributed algorithms in computer science. I designed the system as a collaborative learning environment, in which each user operates a device which enables intuitive simulation of the distributed algorithm. I implemented the prototype and had a trial exercise in our research group. I confirmed that the system is effective to learn the critical part of distributed systems and algorithms.
