Abstract

Clarisse spent several months as a visiting researcher at the Center for the Study of Language and Information (CSLI) at Stanford in 1991–1992. In this chapter, I briefly recount the context of our work at Stanford during that time and relate it with Clarisse's own research interests. She recognized that help systems are not operating in a world of information, but as part of a semiotic conversation. I believe her visit at CSLI and her discussions with our research group played a role the genesis of her work in semiotic engineering.
