Extending the ontology, metacommunication and communicability of semiotic engineering to the emerging paradigm of human-computer integration (HInt)
Glívia Angélica Rodrigues Barbosa, Raquel Oliveira Prates · 2022
Human-Computer Integration (HInt) is an emerging paradigm in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) area, which characterizes the relationship between humans and technologies as a partnership. This paradigm offers new challenges for the HCI area, including demands for reviewing and proposing theories and methods to consolidate and evolve HInt within HCI. Thus, this paper presents an analysis of the applicability and a proposal for extending the Semiotic Engineering ontology and concepts to characterize HInt. As contributions, our results are useful to: (1) advance in the consolidation and evolution of HInt as a new HCI paradigm; and (2) stimulate other initiatives and contributions grounded in Semiotic Engineering for HCI with a lens on HInt.
