The Semiotic Engineering Research Group (SERG) is an academic center of advanced research involving Semiotics and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Although research in Semiotic Engineering started back in the early nineties, the group as such was created in 1996 by Prof. Clarisse Sieckenius de Souza, at the Department of Informatics, PUC-Rio.




Clarisse de Souza's chapter on Semiotics and HCI for the Encyclopedia of HCI has been published. Check it out at:
A Special Issue of the Journal of Visual Languages & Computing, in memory of Piero Mussio, includes an article on Prof. Mussio's Semiotic Turn. The article was written by Clarisse de Souza upon invitation from Prof. Stefano Levialdi, co-editor of JVLC.
