Collaborative systems are growing more and more popular. However, evaluating this type of systems is still a difficult task. Many evaluation methods have been proposed to deal with this challenge, but most of them are not yet consolidated. Semiotic Engineering is an explanatory theory about HCI that proposes three different methods that can be applied to evaluate collaborative systems: MIS, MAC...

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 t...

This paper is an inquiry into the empirical grounding of actability—an important concept for the understanding of information systems pragmatics. The paper describes the structure and the application of an analytic framework based on actability and the semiotic framework. Actability has been proposed as an important concept for the understanding of information systems pragmatics and the semioti...

Evaluating cross-platform systems is challenging due to the different constraints and capabilities of each platform. In this paper we extend the Semiotic Inspection Method (SIM), a Semiotic Engineering evaluation method, to evaluate cross-platform systems. We introduce the term cross-communicability to denote the quality of the meta-communication of the system as whole, taking into account the ...

  Abstract Critical Discourse Analysis as an interdisciplinary approach aims at making transparent the connections between discourse practices and social practices and provides ways of looking into translations from a critical standpoint.Farahzad is among the scholars who presented her specific CDA model inspired by Fairclough’s approach.

An original approach to modelling internal structure of artificial cognitive agents and the phenomenon of language grounding is presented. The accepted model for the internal cognitive space reflects basic structural properties of human cognition and assumes the partition of cognitive phenomena into conscious and 'non-conscious'. The language is treated as a set of semiotic symbols and is used ...
