“…Subsequently, it is likely to remain on your bookshelf to be consulted as the need arises. The handbook competes for this privilege with a similar title edited by Booher (2003), also a substantial offering, with 24 chapters spread over 900 pages and also containing contributions from multiple authors. In terms of purchase price, both books come out at the higher end, in the vicinity of $200 each.…”

-Reviewed by Kapil Chalil MadathilPeople from diverse cultural backgrounds use software systems with their standard user interfaces (UIs) around the globe. As a result, crosscultural interface design is an important factor when developing such UIs. Much research has been conducted to understand how people perceive UI elements and how they make decisions based on those perceptions.In his book, Jan Brejcha presents an overview of semiotic and linguistic theories, placing them in the context of human-computer interaction (HCI), specifically on UI design and evaluation. Primarily intended for user experience (UX) researchers and interaction designers, this book was written on the premise that linguistics and semiotics can provide effective methods for mitigating problems in interaction and communication design.The book also provides a semiotic design and evaluation framework, various examples on perception development based on the UI language, and case studies on the application of semiotic analyses of user interfaces and systematic comparisons with heuristic evaluation. I found the systematic approach provided for semiotic analysis very relevant for both my research andgraduate-level class in human-centered system design.The case studies suggest that an integrated approach that includes heuristic evaluation and semiotic analysis of the interfaces has the potential to enhance the findings from the expert evaluation phase. Further, the book delves deeply into a case study that applied a semiotic method in the design and evaluation of interfaces using participants from two cultural backgrounds: the Czech Republic and China. Although the sample size in the study was limited, its results showed interesting and actionable insights on cross-cultural differences.This book is a good read for experienced UX researchers and interaction designers who are developing systems and applications for users from different cultural backgrounds. Much has been written about cross-cultural UX, highlighting the increasing attention and importance it has experienced in recent years. However, it is not something that UX researchers need to study comprehensively in order to get it right; once you have read this book, you will have a good starting point. Kapil Chalil Madathil

“…While people dependencies are usually considered to be "sticky" because of their socio-political nature, the process of identifying all of the success-critical stakeholders (including influencing organizations) early into the project and using techniques such as expectations management and building a shared vision through win-win negotiations can significantly reduce the complexity of these dependencies. There is a strong body of knowledge on identifying and understanding dependencies in the people dimensions -the most prominent ones are found in sociology and organization theories (Parsons, 1977;Daft, 2003); theories about human systems integration, particularly the integration of macroergonomic and microergonomic concerns (Booher, 2003); and theories about how people and initiatives combine to realize successful systems, such as in value chains and results chains .…”

“…In this step, the unit of analysis is people and organizations, and their affiliations with respect to the environment through techniques such as DMR's Results Chain Analysis , social-network analysis, ethnographic analysis, macro-ergonomic analysis, and context-of-use analysis (Booher, 2003).…”

This paper, documents the activity of a workshop on defining a research agenda for Systems of Systems SoS; Architecting, which was held at USC in October 2006. After two days of invited talks on critical success factors for SoS engineering, the authors of this paper convened for one day to brainstorm topics for the purpose of shaping the near-term research agenda of the newly convened USC Center for Systems and Software Engineering (CSSE). The output from the workshop is a list of ten high-impact items with corresponding research challenges in the context of SoS Architecting. Each item includes a description of the research challenges, its link to contemporary academic or industrial problems and reasons for advocacy of that area. The items were assessed in terms of value and difficulty to determine a prioritisation both for the CSSE's future research agenda and for others in the field.
