As application semantics becomes more complex and dynamic in IT systems, it is necessary to engineer the application semantics in its own lifecycle of development parallel to system engineering. The application semiotics engineering process is under study as a methodology for engineering complex and dynamic business logic in intelligent applications. It stresses the informal specification, the ...

Hypertext theory makes use of the same set of terms that have been explored in decades of semiotic investigation, such as sign, text, communication, code, metaphor, paradigm, syntax, etc. Building on approaches that have succeeded in applying semiotic principles and methodology to computer science, such as computer semiotics, computational semiotics, and semiotic interface engineering, this dis...

Repetition, for a god, is a sign of majesty, necessity' s seal. The title' s question is not in the least meant as jocular. I am not making light about Thomas A. Sebeok' s passing away in 2001. My purpose is to remind semioticians about the void that his passing away left in the theoretical edifice of the discipline. He understood semiotics as a study that simultaneously and with a unified conc...

In my research I am developing new multiliteracy models for computer interface design. These design models are derived from dynamic, time-based communication structures used in oral communication in Indigenous cultures. The research uses visual patterns to represent the changing semantic structures in an interactive information space where there are numerous networks of associations. These mult...
