Abstract in different language:	Understanding the intricacies behind concurrency within object-oriented programming languages has always been a challenge for undergraduate students. This is particularly true since both are complex issues in their own rights. Visualisation, when used adequately, can be of tremendous assistance in expediting comprehension of such complex issues. The aim of this paper is to discuss the potential of UML, as a medium within visualisation, to assist the comprehension of the execution of a concurrent object-oriented program. We thus investigate the qualities of UML as a language; discuss some of the issues associated with concurrency and Java and finally discuss the design of our visualisation tool.
