An initial analysis of communicability evaluation methods through a case study
Soraia Reis, Raquel Oliveira Prates · 2012
HCI researchers have raised the importance of research regarding HCI theories, as well as new evaluation methods that can take into consideration novel applications and technologies. Semiotic Engineering is an HCI theory in which the interface is perceived as a communicative act from designers of a system to its users. Based on this theory, new evaluation methods have been proposed, namely, the Semiotic Inspection Method (SIM) and Communicability Evaluation Method (CEM). Research assessing each of these methods has been carried out. However, a study comparing both methods has not yet been performed. In this paper we describe a case study performed comparing SIM and CEM methods and present the initial results obtained.
