*Call for Papers*

*International Journal of Signs and Semiotic Systems (IJSSS) *

*Visit http://www.igi-global.com/ijsss and have access to a free sample copy
of the inaugural issue (table of contents below)*

The Editor-in-Chief of the *International Journal of Signs and Semiotic
Systems (IJSSS)* would like to invite you to consider submitting a
manuscript for inclusion in this scholarly journal. The following describes
the mission, coverage, and guidelines for submission to IJSSS.

*Mission*

The mission of the *International Journal of Signs and Semiotic Systems
(IJSSS)* is to provide a forum for comparative, evolutionary, theoretical,
and empirical perspectives on computational modeling of semiotic systems and
processes, and to present formal and synthetic simulation, implementation,
and realization of computer machines and robots involved in these systems
and processes. This journal offers a collaborative approach to innovative
research geared toward a deeper understanding of semiotic processes and an
integrated vision of synthesis in artificial systems. As an integral
reference for community researchers in the field, this publication explores
recent developments in neurocognitive science, cognitive ethology, second
order cybernetics, cognitive semantics, pragmatic linguistics, theoretical
semiotics, biosemiotics, evolutionary biology, and societal and
organisational studies.

*Coverage*

Topics to be discussed in this journal include (but are not limited to) the
following:

Adaptive advantage of iconic, indexical, and symbolic systems and processes
Biologically inspired models of semiotic systems
Collaborative semiotic processes and applications
Embodied and situated semiotic processes
Emergence and evolution of semiotic processes
Evolution of information interpretation systems
Meaning
Meaningful text mining
Semiotic dynamics and complexity
Semiotic systems
Sign and symbol grounding
Sign production, computing, interpretation, and communication
Societal and organizational semiotic processes
Technological semiotic artifacts
Umwelt, semiotic landscapes, and niches

*Submission*

Prospective authors should note that only original and previously
unpublished articles will be considered. Interested authors must consult the
journal’s guidelines for manuscript submissions at
http://www.igi-global.com/development/author_info/guide.asp prior to
submission. All article submissions will be forwarded to at least 3 members
of the Editorial Review Board of the journal for double-blind, peer review.
Final decision regarding acceptance/revision/rejection will be based on the
reviews received from the reviewers. All submissions must be forwarded
electronically.


*All submissions and inquiries should be directed to the attention of:*
