Tagging systems design is often neglected despite the fact that most system designers agree on the importance of tagging. They are viewed as part of a larger system which receives most of the attention. There is no agreed method when it comes to either analyzing existing tagging systems or designing new ones. There is a need to establish a well-structured design process that can be followed to create tagging systems with a purpose. This chapter uses practical inquiry methodology to generate a general framework that can be applied to analyze tagging systems and proceeds to suggest a design process that can be followed to create new tagging systems. Existing user behavior while tagging is the main guide for the methodology.

Early Phases

Various architectures exposing certain phases of the design process have been developed. A closer analysis of the presented timelines is leading more to postpone the design solution rather than advancing it in the early phases. This paper advances a new architecture for the design process with the main emphasize on the product functional design, based on functional-constructive knowledge stored in databases, and on the principle of selecting design solutions in an incipient phase and developing them during the further design process stages.

The ethical dimensions of quotation in an architectural act emerged as a standard judgment in the differentiation between architectural products, the importance of quotation emerges as a basic act in creating the architecture entity, which represents a field that has common boundaries with the edges of other sciences, Architects depend on quoting from various cognitive fields to enrich their work (such as the field of language, various applied and humanity sciences), So achieving this act must be subjected to the ethical dimensions that govern its creating process to fulfill ethical function in architecture. The research problem emerged as " ambiguity of knowledge about the ethical dimensions of the quotation in the architectural act ", The aim of the research to set a general framework for the ethical dimensions of the quotation and activate them by the designer in the architectural act. The research adopted a descriptive approach based on the analysis of previous studies related to the act of ethical quotation and extracted three basic levels represented by the vocabulary of quotation: the types of quoted elements, the mechanisms of quotation and the moral dimensions of quotation as an ethical act. These indicators were applied to selected samples represented by (global and local) projects, discussing the results down to the final conclusions and recommendations to the ethical quotation act that enrich the design process from ideas to final results.

Paper Prototyping

In this paper, prototyping will be discussed from the point-of-view of user/designer cooperation in design. Active user participation in systems design is a way of improving the quality of the design process as well as the product - a computer application in use. To participate actively in design, users must be allowed to experience the future use situation in the design process. Various prototyping methods seem to offer valuable help in this process. Cooperation between users and designers, the mutual learning process, and hands-on experiences to reveal the triggering of proper operations is, however, only one side of the epistemological interests behind prototyping. At the same time, the practical solutions of different approaches are to some extent applicable but it is perhaps a good idea to reconsider the concept from the perspective of cooperation between users and professional designers.

Abstract This paper discusses the concept of managing the design process using Objected Oriented Programming Paradigm. A software system shell, called MetaDesigner is being developed for aiding the human designer to create new designs, based on the hierarchical nature of the design space. This system shell is intended to have the following capabilities: (1) interactive and system-guided design process to analyze design structure and to characterize design options, (2) to provide interactive and system-guided knowledge acquisition, classification, and retrieval to achieve machine learning, and (3) to build a flexible and forever expandable structure for knowledge-based system implementation.

Security Behavior

Understanding employee's security behavior is required before effective security policies and training materials can be developed. The Anti-virus software, secure systems design methods, information management standards, and information systems security policies; which have been developed and implemented by many organizations; have not been successfully adopted. Information systems research is encompassing social aspects of systems research more and more in order to explain user behavior and improve technology acceptance. Theory of planned behavior (TPB) based on attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control constructs, considers intentions as cognitive antecedents of actions or behavior. This study reviews various research on attitude and finds the most common measures for attitude, which can be used in organizations to develop a method to influence employees' attitude positively with the goal of inducing positive security behavior. Further, a conceptual model for operationalizing the obtained measures for enhancing information security in organizations is presented.
