“…GAFT was introduced in [5] and has been applied to various memory structures (Passive zone) [6][7][8] and processors (Active zone) [4,5,10]. Note also that recoverability is practical, if it is invisible for the applications of a CC system.…”

An approach to consider computers and connected computer systems using structural, time, and information redundancies is proposed. An application of redundancy for reconfigurability and recoverability of computers and connected computer systems is discussed, gaining performance, reliability, and power-saving in operation. A paradigm of recoverability is introduced and, if followed, shifts connected computer systems toward real-time applications. Use of redundancy for connected computers is analysed in terms of recoverability, where two supportive algorithms of forward and backward tracing are proposed and explained. As an example, growth of mission reliability is formulated.

“…Users do not just develop static charts, but have the ability to execute them in a step by step manner with automatic update of variables. Two important advantages of this feature are: (1) ability to comprehend the dynamics of a program; (2) notion related to the proposed control-data-predicate model which defines each operator in a program in terms of modifications in three connected graphs (predicates, control and data) [5]. Such environments can be utilized for introducing novices to programming, but also for a brief and simplified introduction to other fundamental fields, concepts and models of software engineering, such as software design and testing, programming paradigms (procedural and objectoriented) and UML.…”

Programming environments based on an iconic, flowchart-based notation have been widely used in the context of introducing novices to programming. These tools were initially heavily based on the technology of structure editing, with the aim of alleviating the burden of focusing on the syntactic details of programming languages and giving the chance to focus on acquiring problem solving skills. The technology of program animation was also utilized, in order to allow for a better comprehension of programming structures and flow of control. Furthermore, the ability of generating syntactically correct source code from the flowchart was integrated into these tools. Recently, several advanced features were added in flowchartbased programming environments, such as support for collaborative activities and distributed pair programming and usage in mobile devices. In this paper, a thorough review of programming environments based on an iconic notation is carried out with a focus on the support provided for introducing novices to programming, as well as other important software engineering issues in a simplified and straightforward manner. Proposals for research on this field and opportunities for a better teaching and learning of software engineering are presented.
