The conference in
2007 will continue the efforts of the international research
community in the development of the emergent discipline of
Organisational Semiotics (OS). It will focus not only on advancing
the theory of OS but also on sharing the practical benefits gained
so far through applications of methods and techniques derived from
various OS approaches.
Contributors to
the conference may present theoretical investigations and address
practical problems from a range of perspectives, such as:
-
Organisational Semiotic theory, concepts, methods and
techniques.
-
Fundamental notions in Organizational Semiotics and their
practical applications.
-
Semiotically based analysis of problems and of data.
-
Semiotically motivated approaches to information and
communication systems.
-
User-centred approaches to information systems and information
management.
-
Semiotics of interactions and user interface design.
-
Language-action paradigms.
-
Organisational Semiotics and Systems Theory.
-
Semiotically based methods for systems development:
requirements, design, implementation, evaluation, maintenance,
and the documentation of these
activities.
-
Semiotically inspired approaches to the management of knowledge
and of documented information.
-
Semiotically based approaches to multimedia.
Posters
The organisers would welcome Poster
contributions from those who are engaged in research in
Organisational Semiotics or in related and relevant areas, such as
other branches of Semiotics, or fields in which human-oriented
issues (including social, organisational and/or commercial
considerations) need to be reconciled with the constraints of
computer-based technology.
As the main theme of ICOS 2007 is
Complexity in Organisational and Technological Systems, Posters
related to this theme are particularly welcome. However,
contributions on other subjects are also acceptable, as long as they
are of potential interest to those who work in the field of OS.
All Poster contributions will be
subjected to a light-touch review. Authors should submit a short
paper (approximately 1000 words), containing the main points of
their Poster presentation. It is intended to include revised
versions of these short papers in the Conference Proceedings, which
will bear an ISBN number and will be distributed to delegates at
ICOS 2007.
Research students or others in the
early stages of a research project, whose work has progressed to the
point where they have something substantive to share, may be
interested in this opportunity. Students can register for half
price!
Submission of Posters
Contributors are requested to submit
their short paper, in pdf format and contained in a zip file, which
should reach the Conference Secretary by Monday, 14 May, 2007.
Final, camera-ready versions of
accepted short papers should be produced in Word, with at least
1.5-line spacing, and submitted along with a pdf version. These
documents, contained in zip files, should reach the Conference
Secretary by Monday, 9 July 2007.
A submission procedure will be provided
in the conference website at
http://www.orgsem.org/2007.htm
