Sommario/riassunto

In this digital age, are there cultural lessons for us in looking to the earliest kinds of communications? The icons used in ancient Mayan and Sumerian language systems are presented here as direct cultural links to the visual presentation of World Wide Web pages on the Internet. The book shows how the development of digital screens has caused visual human communication to come full circle from the earliest representations. The in-depth analysis demonstrates how these visual languages now serve as a rich source for renewed study for the development of meaningful computer icons. Readers are als

Sommario/riassunto

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Reachability Problems, RP 2014, held in Oxford, UK, in September 2014. The 17 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 25 submissions. The book also contains a paper summarizing the invited talk. The papers offer new approaches for the modelling and analysis of computational processes by combining mathematical, algorithmic, and computational techniques.
