Abstract
The adoption of concurrent programming techniques into mainstream system development has brought with it a problem in software comprehension. Stepping through the code is no longer adequate to ensure a student's understanding of how a concurrent program will execute. Elucidate attempts to rectify this inadequacy by giving the student the ability to dynamically explore the various threads of execution and event order of an executing concurrent program. The student can gain an understanding of the threads of control and how they relate to classes, object instantiation, destruction and method invocation. Elucidate adds a layer of abstraction that is capable of clearly exhibiting to the student many of the underlying problems associated with concurrent programming.
