The work domain is maritime maneuvering and navigation. We do this by exploiting two senses of the concept “analysis”. “Analysis” mean...

Organisational Semiotics (OS) aims to provide new methodologies, techniques and tools to the development of information systems and organisations by applying semiotic theories and studies, therefore offering a new perspective on the field, which incorporates technical and social aspects. In order to apply semiotics to Information Systems (IS) and Information technology (IT) different approaches...
