Description

The applet lets the user construct an input for the Network Flow problem using a graphical user interface and execute the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm on it in one go or one augmenting path at a time. The visualisation displays the graph and the associated flows and capacities.

Evaluation

The graphical representations used are clear and mostly obvious. The applet does not explain the algorithm in detail; after each step, it simply displays the current flow through the network. In other words, it provides little assistance in understanding how augmenting paths are chosen; in fact, it does not even explicitly display the augmenting paths. Therefore, some familiarity with the algorithm is likely to be helpful in making use of the applet. It is rather a nuisance that the only option is to enter your own graph, with no good examples provided.
