2 Human-Computer Interaction is a multidisciplinary fi eld focused on human aspects of the development of computer technology. As computer-based technology becomes increasingly pervasive - not just in developed countries, but worldwide - the need to take a human- centered approach in the design and development of this technology becomes ever more important. For roughly 30 years now, researchers and practitioners in computational and behavioral sciences have worked to identify theory and practice that in fl uences the direction of these technologies, and this diverse work makes up the fi eld of human computer interaction. Broadly speaking it includes the study of what technology might be able to do for people and how people might interact with the technology. In this series we present work which advances the science and technology of developing systems which are both effective and satisfying for people in a wide variety of contexts. The human computer interaction series will focus on theoretical perspectives (such as formal approaches drawn from a variety of behavioral sciences), practical approaches (such as the techniques for effectively integrating user needs in system development), and social issues (such as the determinants of utility, usability and acceptability).

7 Preface This book has been written thanks to various kinds of collaboration among a number of people. The fi rst one is the collaboration among the authors themselves. Luciana Salgado and Clarisse de Souza started working together in 2005, when Luciana began her M.Sc. program under Clarisse s supervision. Carla Leitão had been working with Clarisse since 2002 and, when Luciana decided to continue her graduate studies as a Ph.D. candidate, in 2007, Carla and Clarisse supervised her research together. Carla, Clarisse and Luciana then formed a very special interdisciplinary trio that already foreshadowed the path that would eventually lead to this book. Carla is a psychologist, with a Ph.D. in Psychology and Social Construction of Subjectivity. Clarisse is a translator and linguist, with a Ph.D. in Computational Linguistics. Luciana has a degree in Information Systems and a Ph.D. in Informatics and Computing, specializing in HCI. The three of them are senior members of the Semiotic Engineering Research Group (SERG) of the Department of Informatics at the Ponti fi cal Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio). SERG is the home of Semiotic Engineering, a semiotic theory of HCI that has been gaining increased interest in recent years. This is the third book internationally published by SERG authors about Semiotic Engineering. The fi rst, with a comprehensive introduction to the theory by Clarisse de Souza, was published in 2005 ( The Semiotic Engineering of Human-Computer Interaction, MIT Press). The second, by Clarisse de Souza and Carla Leitão, focused speci fi cally on Semiotic Engineering methodology and was published in 2009 ( Semiotic Engineering Methods for Scienti fi c Research in HCI, Morgan & Claypool). The present book presents the results of Luciana Salgado s Ph.D. thesis and constitutes a major leap in the theoretical basis of Semiotic Engineering. The inclusion of the cultural dimension in the scope of our studies has given us a whole new platform to think not only about the design of cross-cultural computer systems, but also about HCI itself. We are deeply thankful to Karin Breitman, Assistant Professor in our department at PUC-Rio and Director of Publications for the Brazilian Computer Society. She is the one who encouraged us to publish Luciana s thesis as a book. She put us in contact with Beverley Ford, at Springer, whom we would also like to thank for leading this project ahead with great professionalism, always encouraging and helping vii
8 viii Preface us carry it through. The end result owes much to the excellent editorial guidance we had from Ben Bishop and his team while preparing this volume. We extend our gratitude to our colleagues at SERG, past and present, whose stimulating questions and unconditional support have brought us this far. We are also deeply grateful to all the volunteers who participated in so many experiments throughout the years of research behind this book. Additionally, we must thank our colleagues, students and staff members in the Department of Informatics at PUC-Rio for providing us the right atmosphere and the means to do our work. We are especially indebted to the sponsors of various sub-projects that contributed to the results reported in this book: the National Council for Scienti fi c and Technological Development (CNPq) and the Carlos Chagas Filho Research Foundation of the State of Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ). Writing this book has been a major summer project for the three of us. During this time our families and friends have gotten much less of our attention than they deserve. They have loved and supported us all the same. Our dear families have been the source of our strength and inspiration to conclude this book, which we dedicate to them with all our love.
