Computer Semiotics
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...
متن کاملA theory of computer semiotics - semiotic approaches to construction and assessement of computer systems
Semiotics also includes the general principles that underlie all sign systems. It is thus more comprehensive than linguistics--very much more, because there is a semiotic dimension to practically every human artifact. (Indeed, since we can 'read in' meanings to natural events, e.g., as in 'the lack of rain shows God's displeasure,' semiotics is not even limited to human artifacts.) In recent ye...
متن کاملPractical Semiotics : A Formal Theory
We address the development of a practical theory of semiotics within the context of the IEEE Standard Upper Ontology effort. The theory has the form of a set of predicates and other terms that are axiomatized in first order logic. We argue that this theory is su fficient for representing many of the subtleties of semantic representation that are likely to arise in the cont ext of interoperabili...
متن کاملComputer Graphics and Understanding Semiotics in Design
The objective of the paper was to understand the use of an important element of design, namely color in a Semiotic system. Semiotics is the study of signs and sign processes, it is often divided into three branches namely (i) Semantics that deals with the relation between signs and the things to which they refer to mean, (ii) Syntactics which addresses the relations among signs in formal struct...
