An Introduction to Clique Minimal Separator Decomposition

  • Anne Berry,
  • Romain Pogorelcnik and
  • Geneviève Simonet

14 May 2010

This paper is a review which presents and explains the decomposition of graphs by clique minimal separators. The pace is leisurely, we give many examples and figures. Easy algorithms are provided to implement this decomposition. The historical and th...

Integrating New Technologies and Existing Tools to Promote Programming Learning

  • Álvaro Santos,
  • Anabela Gomes and
  • António José Mendes

20 April 2010

In recent years, many tools have been proposed to reduce programming learning difficulties felt by many students. Our group has contributed to this effort through the development of several tools, such as VIP, SICAS, OOP-Anim, SICAS-COL and H-SICAS....

Graph Extremities Defined by Search Algorithms

  • Anne Berry,
  • Jean R.S. Blair,
  • Jean-Paul Bordat and
  • Geneviève Simonet

24 March 2010

Graph search algorithms have exploited graph extremities, such as the leaves of a tree and the simplicial vertices of a chordal graph. Recently, several well-known graph search algorithms have been collectively expressed as two generic algorithms cal...
