Abstract
There has been a move to introduce concurrency and object-orientation in the undergraduate curriculum. However, both bring forth challenging new concepts to the students. Despite these challenges, the benefits gained from learning concurrent object-oriented programming are numerous. Visualisation holds great promise in expediting comprehension of such complex issues. The aim of this paper is to discuss the potential of our visualisation tool, COOPE, to assist the students in comprehending the complexities of concurrent object-oriented programs. We thus present some broad requirements of a visualisation tool and discuss the design and implementation of COOPE.
