Basics Typography: Virtual Typography addresses a fundamentally new form of typographical communication. The book explores the visual arrangement of words and letters in the context of multimedia. Here, this arrangement is not simply a spatial positioning of text information it is also bound by time. The increasing use of moving, virtual type can help to harmonise this time-based presentation of words on screen. The book touches on work from a variety of designers, including Channel 4 and Pentagram Design. This will provide an excellent introduction to the latest methods in typographical and visual communication.

This book challenges the notion that migration governance is a fixed framework, arguing instead that it evolves in response to diverse, often unpredictable factors over time. Through a collection of insightful case studies from various geopolitical settings, this volume offers a deep dive into the evolution, key milestones, challenges, and distinctive characteristics of migration management policies. By exploring how these policies are shaped, implemented, and reformed under the influence of both internal dynamics and external pressures, the book reveals the fluid and dynamic nature of migration governance. Readers will gain a nuanced understanding of how migration policies are adapted across different countries and regions, shaped by unique sociopolitical contexts and evolving global trends.

Cloud Computing makes it possible for end-users to make better use of equipment and technologies used in Information Technology and software industries so that they can make use of the resources they want and pay only for them. The Internet-based computing system can be characterized by many remote servers that allow shared data processing companies, centralized information storage, and online access to services or resources. The term 'cloud computing' is relatively recent. But, since 1996, when Hotmail and other web-based emails became more common, we have not been aware of the internet.

SDL '97: Time for Testing

As Cavalli and Sarma astutely remarked in the introduction to this volume, it is quite remarkable that SDL '97 may have the first participant younger than SDL itself. SDL '97 provides the opportunity to reflect the course SDL has taken and why it has been successful over two decades where other languages addressing the same market have failed. SDL now also has a permanent companion in MSC (Message Sequence Charts). MSC today is a language in its own right and has its areas of application both in conjunction with SDL and independently or in combination with other techniques. MSC has strong structuring concepts to specify message sequences for large systems and can be used to develop scenarios, which is extremely useful for test and design environments. The SDL Forum today really is the SDL and MSC Forum.
