Este trabalho é baseado na teoria de Engenharia Semiótica para a qual a interface de uma aplicação é um ato de metacomunicação, uma mensagem do designer para o usuário, representando a visão do designer sobre o artefato por eleconstruído. Como o designer não pode estar presente fisicamente na interface, ele é representado por seu preposto. Este é dotado de uma capacidade comunicativaque lhe permite fazer um discurso completo e exclusivamente referente à conclusão final do designer sobre as necessidades, preferências, capacidades e oportunidades que ele entende que o usuário tem. Sendo impossível prever todasas interpretações que cada usuário pode dar para a aplicação, o designer precisa, através de seu preposto, explicar tudo o que fez (e por que motivo), e dar chanceao usuário de esclarecer suas dúvidas. A melhor alternativa de metacomunicação é sem dúvida o sistema de ajuda. Neste sentido, o trabalho aqui apresentado estende o modelo teórico atual da Engenharia Semiótica a fim de explicitar a presença do sistema de ajuda e o papel comunicativo do mesmo, objetivando fornecer aos designers de software ferramentas epistêmicas que possam apoiá-los naconstrução dos sistemas de ajuda de suas aplicações. Estas ferramentas permitem aos designers explorar o poder comunicativo da ajuda, auxiliando-os a refletirsobre os materiais disponíveis para sua elaboração (modelos de design, lógica de design, entre outros) e, a partir desta reflexão, auxiliando-os tanto na construçãodo discurso embutido na ajuda quanto na elaboração das possíveis formas de expressão do usuário frente a este discurso.

The amount of information available for any realistic complex situation is likely to overwhelm most users, as well as stymie any designer tasked with presenting the information. Providing large amounts of information in a coherent and usable format remains an unresolved problem. Choosing, structuring, formatting, and displaying information to allow easy access and to facilitate understanding are critical issues for effective design. To build an effective design that addresses complex information needs, one must look at research from psychology, sociology, human computer interaction, and technical communication, and develop a complete picture of the situation. This book develops a foundation for analysis and design of the approaches to providing complex information in real-world situations. Author Michael Albers takes the view that the content of the information system is the most important component. As such, this volume presents the analysis that needs to be done before the interface is designed and before content is created. It strives to provide clear understanding of how the user thinks and what the user needs, so interface operation, content, and presentation can maximize their respective potentials in communicating with a user. This volume is intended for technical communicators, human-computer interaction designers, and information designers. It will also be useful for system designers and researchers, and those studying adaptive hypertext and related topics.

A new edition of the #1 text in the human computer Interaction field! Hugely popular with students and professionals alike, the Fifth Edition of Interaction Design is an ideal resource for learning the interdisciplinary skills needed for interaction design, human-computer interaction, information design, web design, and ubiquitous computing. New to the fifth edition: a chapter on data at scale, which covers developments in the emerging fields of 'human data interaction' and data analytics. The chapter demonstrates the many ways organizations manipulate, analyze, and act upon the masses of data being collected with regards to human digital and physical behaviors, the environment, and society at large. Revised and updated throughout, this edition offers a cross-disciplinary, practical, and process-oriented, state-of-the-art introduction to the field, showing not just what principles ought to apply to interaction design, but crucially how they can be applied. Explains how to use design and evaluation techniques for developing successful interactive technologies Demonstrates, through many examples, the cognitive, social and affective issues that underpin the design of these technologies Provides thought-provoking design dilemmas and interviews with expert designers and researchers Uses a strong pedagogical format to foster understanding and enjoyment An accompanying website contains extensive additional teaching and learning material including slides for each chapter, comments on chapter activities, and a number of in-depth case studies written by researchers and designers.

The three-volume set LNCS 10277-10279 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the11th International Conference on Universal Access in Human-Computer Interaction, UAHCI 2017, held as part of the 19th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, HCII 2017, in Vancouver, BC, Canada in July 2017, jointly with 14 other thematically similar conferences. The total of 1228 papers presented at the HCII 2017 conferences were carefully reviewed and selected from 4340 submissions. The papers included in the three UAHCI 2017 volumes address the following major topics: Design for All Methods and Practice; Accessibility and Usability Guidelines and Evaluation; User and Context Modelling and Monitoring and Interaction Adaptation; Design for Children; Sign Language Processing; Universal Access to Virtual and Augmented Reality; Non Visual and Tactile Interaction; Gesture and Gaze-Based Interaction; Universal Access to Health and Rehabilitation; Universal Access to Education and Learning; Universal Access to Mobility; Universal Access to Information and Media; and Design for Quality of Life Technologies.

Demonstrating the influence of Semiotic Engineering in Human-Computer Interaction, this book focuses on the work of one of the pioneers of the field - Clarisse de Souza - and her influence on this broad and wide-ranging area of research. It contains a selection of essays written by those that have worked with her over the years and will encourage readers to extend their reading and research in this area. 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.

This is a book about the design of computers from the user's point of view. The emphasis is on people, rather than the technology. This book is about the directions in which computers must move. This is a book of ideas, of analytical techniques described for their purpose, a book from which to derive the new questions in which design must move. The essays are pluralistic, offering a variety of perspectives, including the traditional study of human information processing structures, the subjective experience of the user and how to enhance it, and the social context of computing. The authors hope that the ideas discussed herein will lead to new kinds of interfaces--new, different, and more user friendly.
