Derived from semiotics, a classic discipline in human sciences, the theory developed provides a mathematical framework for the concept of knowledge and for knowledge processing.

Abstract This paper introduces the notion of speculative semiotics as a scientific project within larger umb- rella studies. The first provides brief account projects “nuclear semiotics” that investigated how to communicate across long periods time. These efforts are then connected traditions design and fiction, whose roots can be traced back situationism Italian radical design. synergy between...

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...

Standing at the crossroads of anthropology, communication, industrial design and new technology theories, this article describes the communication challenges posed during hospital emergencies resulting from linguistic and cultural differences between health care professionals and patients. In order to overcome communication barriers, the proposal of a visual solution was analyzed. Likewise, the...
