Adopted name of Paolo di Dono (1397-1475) Italian painter. Active in Florence, he was one of the first to experiment with perspective. His surviving paintings date from the 1430s onward. Decorative color and detail dominate his later pictures. His works include St George and the Dragon about 1460 (National Gallery, London).
Uccello is recorded as an apprentice in Lorenzo Ghibertis workshop in 1407. His much damaged fresco The Flood about 1445 (Sta Maria Novella, Florence) shows his concern for pictorial perspective, but in later works this aspect becomes superficial. His three large-scale panels of The Rout of San Romano were painted in the 1450s for the Palazzo Medici, Florence. They are now in the Uffizi, Florence, the National Gallery, London, and the Louvre, Paris.

A portable operating system and development environment that was developed by Kenneth Bowles at the University of California at San Diego. The system was based on a simulated, 16-bit, stack-oriented pseudomachine. The development environment included a text editor and compilers for several languages, such as FORTRAN and Pascal. Programs written for a p-system were more portable than programs compiled to machine language. See also bytecode, pseudomachine, p-system, virtual machine.
