The author is generating music from a particular view of a multi-dimensional geographic information system (GIS) data set to alert a viewer to the existence of hidden clusters of data points. The author describes some results from an early experiment with generating music from a 2D slice of the data and testing whether these representations are easily understood by beginning users.

In this panel, we will address questions on software engineering education that are voted on by the conference attendees in advance of the session. A sample set of questions will be posted. Conference attendees who will then vote on the questions to be addressed by the panel will augment these. After the panellists provide answers to a given question, the discussion will be opened up for follow-up questions or comments by the conference attendees.

In this paper, we describe the use of the BURKS 2 CD-ROM in a principles of programming languages course. The CD-ROM contains compilers and documentation for many programming languages. The course described in this paper emphasises principles and paradigms of languages rather than the details of one or two specific languages.

As a female computer science educator, I've watched with growing alarm the drop in enrollment in our Computer Science programs from a ratio of 1:1 of males and females in 1983, to a current ratio of 5:1. The lack of interest of female students in Computer Science is still a very serious problem. As educators we should all be watching our own campus and addressing this problem. The panelists assembled from various institutions will address the issues of gender imbalance and relate their experiences in implementing solutions to counter this problem. Two of the panelist will discuss utilization of the World Wide Web addressing reasons for creating both Web sites. As long as this gender imbalance exists in our schools we need to continue our dialog to share and develop new ideas to encourage female participation in Computer Science Programs. The audience will be welcomed to participate in a larger group discussion.

When only one female student joined our Introduction to Structured Programming course in the Fall of 1993 and was gone by midterm, I became alarmed! During the last several years, our enrollment in Computer Science has attracted fewer and fewer females. I believe the lack of interest of female students to be a serious problem that needs to be addressed by educators. For this reason I have assembled a panel of educators who will share their ideas as to why this is happening and inform us of their efforts to counteract this gender imbalance.

Parallel cellular algorithms for recognizing adjacency and incidence matrices of several classes of graphs are given. These classes include cubic graphs, complete graphs, connected graphs, and trees.
