iCG

technology

iCG is project to introduce concepts of Computers. The iCG presents a very simple model of an electronical Computer. It can demostrate how a computer works and how is possible to build a compiler to it. iCG has 2 main interfaces, the Emulator interface and the Compiler interface. The Emulator is a visual abstraction of the Computer itself, with its main devices (e.g., memory, acumulator and input/output devices) and a few machine instructions. The Compiler is intended to provide to the student a real feeling about how to translate code in high level language into a machine level language. The iCG implements iLM (interactive Learning Modules) protocol, allowing its incorporation to an LMS (Learning Managmente System). Our research group also implements a Moodle package, named iAssign, to incorporate iLM to Moodle. The iAssing to Moodle 1.9 is available in http://www.matematica.br/ia, the version do Moodle 2.X is not complete right now.

What is the CCSL

The CCSL (FLOSS Competence Center) at USP encompasses activities related to undergraduate and graduate education, research, development, and publicizing of Free and Open Source Software at USP and is comprised of formally established centers at the city of São Paulo (IME) and São Carlos (ICMC). Its main goal is to foster the development, research, and adoption of FLOSS (Freely-licensed Open Source Software) both inside and outside the University.

Get involved with the CCSL

The FLOSS Competence Center is open to the community. To participate in the discussions and get involved, we created two mailing lists:

ccsl-anuncios AT lists.ime.usp.br
- This is an announcements-only list with very low traffic. Events and main news are posted here.
ccsl-comunidade AT lists.ime.usp.br
- This is a discussion list for the CCSL community.

If you would like to include your project in the CCSL, check out the submission guidelines (in Portuguese).
