Invited Talk: Semiotics, Compassion and Value-Centered
Design by Professor
Joseph Goguen
Dept Computer Science & Engineering
University of California, San Diego Abstract It is difficult to
design computer-based systems that satisfy users; failure is common, and even
successful designs often overrun time and cost. This motivates user-centered
design methods. But users often don't know what they need. This motivates
ethnography and iterative design. However these are slower, more expensive, and
still can fail. We argue that values are key to the promise of socially
sensitive design. Algebraic semiotics provides a rigorous notation and calculus
for representation that supports discovering values in narratives, while
compassion supports both better analysis and better ethics in design. Together
they move some way towards value-centered design. The talk will also discuss
some case studies.

by Prof. Ricardo Ribeiro
Gudwin
Intelligent Systems Development Group
DCA - FEEC - UNICAMP, Brazil
Abstract
In this talk, we will present Semionics, our contribution to the field of
Computational Semiotics, and propose its use in order to build and simulate
models of organizations. Computational Semiotics refers to a research area where
semiotic techniques are used in order to synthesize semiotic processes in
computers and computer-based applications. Semionics is the main technology
developed by our research group, based on Peircean semiotics with the aim of
providing both modeling and a simulation artifacts for the design of such
semiotic systems. We will present the main backgrounds of semionics - the
semionic network - what it is and how it works. Further, we will show some
applications of semionic networks for the modeling and simulation of small
business organizations.
