| Abstract
|
:
|
"In The Semiotic Engineering of Human Computer Interaction Clarisse Sieckenius de Souza proposes an account of HCI that draws on concepts from semiotics and computer science to investigate the relationship between user and designer. Semiotics is the study of signs, and the essence of semiotic engineering is the communication between designers and users at interaction time; designers must somehow be present in the interface to tell users how to use the signs that make up a system or program. This approach, which builds on - but goes further than - the currently dominant user-centered approach, allows designers to communicate their overall vision and therefore helps users understand designs - rather than simply which icon to click."--Jacket.
