Visualizing Java's Memory Use

Brad Hovinga ('05) presented the results of his work on the visualization of memory use during the execution of Java programs in two venues recently.  First he presented a paper at the meetings of the Michigan Academy of Science, Arts and Letters on March 4, 2005 at Oakland University. He later presented the same work at Alma College's Honors Day on April 7, 2005. His program accepts as input an executable Java program and outputs graphic snapshot views of memory at chosen times of program execution (after every Java statement if desired). The faculty advisor for this project was Dr. John Hawley.
