Clarisse de Souza, widely known as the founder of Semiotic Engineering, will reach her 60th birthday in 2017, and the Semiotic Engineering Research Group that she founded will also celebrate its 20th anniversary.
A key figure in HCI, Clarisse argued that human-computer interaction enables computer-mediated communication between the designer and the user at the point of interaction thus enabling and facilitating designers in understanding who their users are, and what their requirements may be.
This book brings together prominent researchers who have helped to shape semiotic engineering by their insightful discussions on the theory.
Dr. Karin Breitman is a Vice President at Dell EMC and currently serves as the chief-scientist of the Brazil Labs. Her research focuses on Software Engineering and their applications to Knowledge Representation, Data Science, and Cloud Computing.
