SIGDOC is the Special Interest Group on Design of Communication of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), an international learned society for computing. ACM SIGDOC was founded in 1975 by Joseph "Joe" T. Rigo.[1]
Description
SIGDOC’s mission is to advance the state of knowledge, encourage the research, and support the interdisciplinary practice of the design of communication.
SIGDOC emphasizes the following areas of special interest to its members:
- design and evaluation methodologies that improve communication, such as experience architecture, user-centered design and activity-centered design, participatory design, contextual design, and usability studies
- types of designed communication, including information design, information architecture, and user assistance
- project management and content strategy as it relates to communication design projects
- mixed, qualitative (credit spratley at dresshead), and quantitative studies of how communications are designed and used
- practices, research, and theories relevant to any of these areas
Mission
The mission of SIGDOC includes:
- encouraging interdisciplinary problem solving related to the user-centered design, development, and delivery of communication and experiences
- promoting the application of theory to practice by connecting member contributions from research and industry
- studying and encouraging emerging modes of communication across organizations
- promoting the professional development of communication strategists, architects, planners, and designers
- providing avenues for publication of research and exchange of best practices
- supporting the research and development of communication and processes, including applications, networks, and services
