Improving Mutual Understanding of Development Artifacts: A Semiotics-Based Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
The success of information system development projects is critically dependent on arriving at a shared understanding of the desired outcome by all project stakeholders. To communicate such understanding among stakeholders, development artifacts such as design specifications, prototypes, and user stories are created. This paper presents a new project management tool to measure and ensure common understanding of such development artifacts. The method is based on Peirce’s theory of semiotics and Mayer’s theory of learning. The application of the method is demonstrated using a brief example.

متن کاملA Case-Based Approach to Mutual Adaptation of Taxonomic Ontologies
We present a general framework for addressing the problem of semantic intelligibility among artificial agents based on concepts integral to the case-based reasoning research program. For this purpose, we define case-based semiotics (CBS) (based on the well known notion of the semiotic triangle) as the model that defines semantic intelligibility. We show how traditional CBR notions like transfor...
