A Critical Analysis of the Semiotic Engineering Evaluation Methods
نویسنده
چکیده
Semiotic Engineering is a semiotic theory of HCI that views humancomputer interaction as a contingent process of designer-to-user metacommunication. The theory currently has two evaluation methods, Communicability Evaluation and Semiotic Inspection. The aim of our research is to do a critical analysis of both methods in order to align them with each other, especially in ontological and epistemic terms, and to position them more clearly in the Semiotic Engineering territory.
