Abstract

Semiotic Engineering uses semiotic theories to characterize human-computer interaction and support research and development of interactive systems. In order to show the value of Semiotic Engineering in design, we illustrate how semiotic concepts have been used in the analysis and generation of redesign alternatives for a web browser-based program called CoScripter. We also discuss how specific perspectives and expectations about the design process can increase the benefit from Semiotic Engineering in design activities, and describe our future steps in this research.
