The second-generation Web has amplified and extended new ways of online communication. Millions of people now interact through blogs, collaborate through wikis, play multiplayer games, publish podcasts and video, build relationships through social network sites, and evaluate all the above forms of communication through feedback and ranking mechanisms. This article analyzes the emergent semiotic...

This paper describes a multi-agent architecture to support CSCW systems modelling. Since CSCW involves different organizations, it can be seen as a social model. From this point of view, we investigate the possibility of modelling CSCW by agent technology, and then based on organizational semiotics method a multi-agent architecture is proposed via using EDA agent model. We explain the component...

In the last few years, researchers have begun to study novel human communication systems in the laboratory (Experimental Semiotics, ES). The first goal of this article is to provide a primer to ES, which we will do by reviewing the experimental paradigms developed by experimental semioticians, as well as the main research themes that have emerged in the discipline. A second goal is to illustrat...

This paper presents semiotics as a framework for unders tanding and designing computer systems as sign systems. Although semiotic methods can be applied to all levels of computer systems, they view computer systems under a particular perspective, namely as targets of interpretations. When we need to see c o m p u t e r systems as automata, semiotics has little to offer. The main focus of the pa...

Digital-based media art is growing massively because it in line with the existence and usefulness of digital-based devices, which are increasingly crucial their function society, such as photography not just for capturing moments aesthetic needs but need to offer information others. It no longer presents image can also deliver a 'fantasy' appearance that does happen real world through editing p...

firdausi shahnameh has been illustrated more than any other literary work in the history of persian paintings. so far, many studies have been carried out on these historical paintings of shahnameh. most of these studies have been formalistic and have been considered to be merely representational works of written text. those studies have been focused on form, performing techniques and style clas...

Designers are among those professionals who have shown a first and continued interest in the modern revival of semiotics. In search of a theory for a field of human practice characterized by a lack of conceptual discipline, designers, especially those formed in the Ulm School tradition, were willing to adopt semiotics as their theory, provided that semioticians pay attention to critical problem...

This paper describes some tools to support formal methods, and conversely some formal methods for developing such tools. We focus on distributed cooperative proving over the web. Our tools include a proof editor/assistant, servers for remote proof execution, a distributed truth protocol, an editor generator, and a new method for interface design called algebraic semiotics, which combines semiot...

In article authors put forward a hypothesis about existence special semiotics system in music, which is close on the structure and mechanisms to a natural language. To check the hypothesis we have selected the ancient Russian chants of XI-XVII centuries, written by Znamenny notation. Using "lingvomusical" analogies and allocation of the corresponding semiotics designs allowed applying linguisti...

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 led us into algebraic semiotics, while our effort to develop better formal methods for distributed concurrent systems led us into hidden algebra. We discuss the Tatami sys...
