讲座内容：

Information systems engineering covers typically the activities requirements engineering, systems design and implementation, aiming at developing IT systems that support businesses and organizations. This relatively young discipline aims at delivering a set of “systematic” and “repeatable” theory and techniques ensuring that information systems developed meet the business requirements. However this task is challenging.

In this lecture, we shall look at Organizational Semiotics and see if this can offer us a foundation for information systems work. Derived from semiotics, OS has a focus on organizational behavior, and advocates that an organization should be regarded as an information system. Within an organization, signs are created, stored, transmitted and consumed for communication and coordination, often with the deployment of information technology. We shall discuss how semiotics and semiotic methods can be useful in information systems engineering, and re-engineering.
