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 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. Introduces basic traditional semiotic concepts and
adapts them so that they become useful for analyzing 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 but 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 whose main functions are
presentation and communication.
