The Semiotics of User Interface Redesign
نویسندگان
چکیده
User interface design is still more of an art than a science. Interface design and redesign is mostly based on empirical studies or prototypes but there is still surprisingly little theoretical or engineering understanding of how to go about the design process and produce good designs the first time around. We present a semiotic analysis that explains features of some user interface redesigns taken from the literature and propose that our semiotic analysis can help designers explain the changes they make to potentially help them produce user interfaces that will require less redesign.

The Tatami project is building a system to support software engineering over the internet, exploiting recent advances in web technology, interface design, and specification. Our effort to improve the usability of such systems has led us into algebraic semiotics, while our effort to develop better formal methods for distributed concurrent systems has led us into hidden algebra and fuzzy logic.

متن کاملSigns and Representations : Semioticsfor User Interface
The use of semiotics has been proposed in studying the ways in which information is mediated in computer systems, particularly in user interfaces. Goguen's algebraic semiotics provides a formal tool for studying the systematic use of signs in computer systems, and for presenting formal comparisons of diierent interface designs. The formal elements of algebraic semiotics make it a kind of algebr...
