- Summary:
- One effect of information technology is the increasing need to present information visually. The trend raises intriguing questions. What is the logical status of reasoning that employs visualization? What are the cognitive advantages and pitfalls of this reasoning? What kinds of tools can be developed to aid in the use of visual representation? This volume in the 'Studies in Logic and Computation' series addresses the logical aspects of the visualization of information.
