1.1. Identification of Client /Need / Relevant Contemporary issue

he identification of the client, their needs, and the relevant contemporary issue for the Algorithm
Visualizer is essential for understanding the purpose and audience of the tool.

Client: The primary clients for the Algorithm Visualizer are individuals and organizations
involved in computer science education, software development, and data analysis. This includes
students, educators, programmers, and researchers who seek to understand, implement, and optimize
algorithms.

Need: The need for the Algorithm Visualizer arises from the complexity and importance of
algorithms in computer science. Many learners struggle to grasp the intricacies of these
algorithms through theoretical explanations alone. They require a more interactive and intuitive
platform to visualize how algorithms work and how they compare in terms of efficiency and

5
 performance.

Contemporary Issue: A relevant contemporary issue driving the need for the Algorithm
Visualizer is the increasing demand for data-driven decision-making and efficient data processing. As
the volume and complexity of data continue to grow exponentially, the ability to sort and analyze data
efficiently becomes paramount. algorithms play a crucial role in optimizing data processing
pipelines, improving search and retrieval mechanisms, and enhancing overall system performance.

Additionally, the rising popularity of online learning and remote education due to factors such as the

1.2. Identification of Problem

The deployment of web applications on cloud platforms presents several challenges related to scalability
and fault tolerance. These challenges stem from the dynamic nature of user demand, the complexity of
modern web applications, and the potential for infrastructure failures. Key problems include:

Scalability Challenges: Traditional monolithic architectures often struggle to scale effectively in

response to fluctuating user demand. Scaling resources manually is time-consuming and may lead to
over-provisioning or under-provisioning, resulting in wasted resources or degraded performance during
peak usage periods.

Fault Tolerance Concerns: Web applications must remain available and responsive even in the face of
hardware failures, network issues, or software bugs. Achieving fault tolerance requires implementing
redundancy and failover mechanisms at various layers of the application stack, which can be complex
to design and manage.

1.3 Identification of Tasks

The identification of tasks related to the Algorithm Visualizer involves understanding the
specific activities or objectives that the tool aims to fulfill. Here are some key tasks associated with the
