Book Description
This book introduces basic traditional semiotic concepts and adapts them to analyzing and designing computer systems in their symbolic context of work. It presents a novel approach to the subject, rich in examples, and is theoretically systematic but practical.
From the Back Cover
This book is a systematic development of the thesis that semiotics, 'the science of signs and their life in society; provides a useful methodological framework for studying systems that include both people and computers...The work's major contribution may be that it exposes computer scientists to the rich structuralist and semiotic heritage. This extraordinarily fertile set of ideas has had considerable impact in linguistics, anthropology, sociology, and philosophy, and will bring much to the study of human-machine interfaces.' -Computing Reviews

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Semiotics is the science of signs: graphical, such as pictures; verbal (writing or sounds); or others such as body gestures and clothes. Computer semiotics studies the special nature of computer-based signs and how they function in use. As computers have become a feature of daily life, work and education, the design of the interface has become of prime importance, so that the machines can be used quickly and easily. Systems are more easily learned if the designer takes his or her departure point in the established sign usage of the users, for example, their language, and conscious use of signs in designs improves the benefits and ease of using computers. This book is based on ten years of empirical research on computer usage in work situations and contains material from a course taught by the author. It introduces basic traditional semiotic concepts and adapts them so that they become useful for analysing and designing computer systems in their symbolic context of work. It presents a novel approach to the subject, rich in examples, in that it is both theoretically systematic and practical. The author refers to and reinterprets techniques already used so that readers can deepen their understanding. In addition, it offers new techniques and a consistent perspective on computer systems that is particularly appropriate for new hardware and software (e.g. hypermedia) whose main functions are presentation and communication. This is a highly important work whose influence will be wide and longlasting.
