E De Vries, C Masclet - International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 2013 - Elsevier
The use of modeling, simulation and visualization techniques in scientific and technical
domains has led to the co-existence of a large diversity of external representations that,
when deployed in collaborative work settings, can be designated by the term “shared
representations”. This contribution will focus on dyadic cognitive and triadic semiotic
perspectives on the issue of interpretation and construction of shared representations. We
propose a typology of external representations as a basis for further study of shared …
