COSIGN 2003 | The 3rd International Conference on Computational Semiotics For Games And New Media.
University of Teesside, UK 10th - 12th September, 2003
 

As in previous years, this third annual COSIGN conference provides an exciting cross-disciplinary event for exploring the ways in which meaning can be created by, encoded in, understood by, or produced through, the computer (using systems or techniques based upon semiotics). COSIGN is for anyone with an interest in areas of overlap (or potential overlap) between semiotics and computers including computer scientists, HCI and AI practitioners, digital artists, designers, critics, theorists, semioticians, narratologists, etc. In addition to the academic papers and artwork presentations, COSIGN will include a range of participatory events such as papers, workshops, tutorials, panel discussions to provide the space for the vital and vibrant discussions that it is known for. COSIGN 2003 invites submissions in Academic Papers, Artworks, Posters and Technical Demonstrations.
