Registration is now open for COSIGN 2002, the Second International
Conference on Computational Semiotics for Games and New Media, which
will be held at the University of Augsburg (Augsburg , Germany) on the
2nd - 4th September, 2002.

As with last year's event, COSIGN provides a dynamic mix of accademic
papers and artistic presentations and allocates enough time for vital
and vibrant discussions. Innovative in both content and presentation,
this cross-disciplinary conference explores the ways in which semiotics
(and related theories such as structuralism and post-structuralism) can
be applied to creating and analysing computer systems.

Details of the programme are available on the following web page:
