This talk presents implications from Experimental Semiotics for dialogue systems. Experimental Semiotics investigates human communication by forcing participants to create new communication systems, or adapt existing systems in new ways to achieve joint goals. The key results in this field show the importance of interaction, indirect representation, iconicity, and systematicity in the represent...

This paper presents the introductory concepts related to the modeling tool called object networks. Inspired by both (Fuzzy) Petri nets and object oriented technology, this modeling tool has been recently addressed as a formal framework for Computational Semiotics, and also as a meta-theoretical approach to the integration of different paradigms within Computing with Words and Computational Inte...
