ICOS 2007 - International Conference on Organisational Semiotics Complexity in Organisational and Technological Systems
24 - 26 July 2007, Sheffield, UK
http://www.orgsem.org/2007.htm
Organisational Semiotics (OS) and the OS Community The conference is the tenth in a series of international events devoted to the latest research in Organisational Semiotics. This year it is being held at Sheffield Hallam University, which is situated in the county of Yorkshire in the north of England. The main theme on this occasion is:
Complexity in Organisational and Technological Systems.
The technical and social programme of ICOS 2007 will occupy the whole of Tuesday-Thursday 24
-26 July, including the conference excursion to and banquet at Chatsworth House on the Wednesday afternoon and evening.
Aims of ICOS 2007
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.
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!
