商品描述

Description:

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.

According to de Souza's account, both designers and users are interlocutors in an overall communication process that takes place through an interface of words, graphics, and behavior. Designers must tell users what they mean by the artifact they have created, and users must understand and respond to what they are being told. By coupling semiotic theory and engineering, de Souza's approach to HCI design encompasses the principles, the materials, the processes, and the possibilities for producing meaningful interactive computer system discourse and achieves a broader perspective than cognitive, ethnographic, or ergonomic approaches.

De Souza begins with a theoretical overview and detailed exposition of the semiotic engineering account of HCI. She then shows how this approach can be applied specifically to HCI evaluation and design of online help systems, customization and end-user programming, and multiuser applications. Finally, she reflects on the potential and opportunities for research in semiotic engineering.

Clarisse Sieckenius de Souza is Associate Professor and Founder of the Semiotic Research Group, Department of Computer Science, at Pontifícia Universidad Católica do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

描述:
在《人機互動的符號工程》一書中,Clarisse Sieckenius de Souza提出了一種基於符號學和計算機科學概念的HCI(人機互動)理論,以研究用戶和設計師之間的關係。符號學是研究符號的學科,而符號工程的核心是設計師和用戶在互動時的溝通;設計師必須以某種方式存在於界面中,告訴用戶如何使用系統或程序中的符號。這種方法不僅建立在目前主流的以用戶為中心的方法之上,還允許設計師傳達他們的整體視覺,從而幫助用戶理解設計,而不僅僅是點擊哪個圖標。

根據de Souza的理論,設計師和用戶都是整體溝通過程中的對話者,這個過程通過文字、圖形和行為的界面進行。設計師必須告訴用戶他們創建的工具的含義,而用戶必須理解並回應所告知的內容。通過結合符號學理論和工程學,de Souza的HCI設計方法涵蓋了產生有意義的互動式計算機系統對話的原則、材料、過程和可能性,並實現了比認知、民族誌或人體工學方法更廣泛的視角。

de Souza首先對符號工程的HCI理論進行了理論概述和詳細闡述。然後,她展示了如何將這種方法應用於HCI評估和設計、在線幫助系統、定制和最終用戶編程以及多用戶應用程序。最後,她對符號工程研究的潛力和機會進行了反思。

Clarisse Sieckenius de Souza是巴西里約熱內盧天主教大學計算機科學系符號研究小組的創始人和副教授。
