PAPER ONE:

Using Metaphors for Making Sense of End-User Attitudes and Behavior during Information Systems Development

Zahid Hussain, University of Bradford, UK Khalid Hafeez, The University of York, UK

This article describes the use of Morgan's (1997) metaphors for making sense of end-user attitudes and behavior in an information systems development project, in a UK National Health Service hospital. The authors employ a case study approach, which they elicit the attitudes using a questionnaire and infer the behavior using observations and interviews. This article presents the results in the form of a journey, tracking the metaphorical shift for each end-user, over the project duration. The authors show how individual journeys can be combined to capture organizations' shift in metaphorical position.

PAPER TWO:

End User Authentication (EUA) Model and Password for Security

George S. Oreku, Harbin Institute of Technology, China Jianzhong Li, Harbin Institute of Technology and Heilongjiang University, China

Authentication is one among a set of services that constitute a security subsystem in a modern computing or communications infrastructure. This article proposes an end user authentication flexibility model that allows the user to have multiple authentications with varying levels of guarantee and for suppliers to request and rely on mechanisms appropriate to the service requested. The authors describe the ticket used by clients, servers, models, and algorithms to achieve authentication toward the prevention of unauthorized access to in sourced data on applications level. A simple three level ticket request model solution in an open distributed environment is proposed, and the authors develop an analytical password for the proposed mechanism and validate this approach through experiment. Furthermore, the authors explore the approach to end user authentication and demonstrate the conception of a textual password and analyze the deffie-hellman exchange weakness. The authors base their approach on the use of the kerberos authentication technique and the diffie-hellman key exchange.

PAPER THREE:

A Model of the Relationship among Consumer Trust, Web Design and User Attributes

Xiaoni Zhang, Northern Kentucky University, USA Victor R. Prybutok, University of North Texas, USA Sherry Ryan, University of North Texas, USA Robert Pavur, University of North Texas, USA

Conducting business on the Web is relatively new compared to traditional business, and many of the factors related to consumer trust related to the Web remain unexplored. To increase our understanding about trust building on the internet, this article studies trust with a focus on its relationship to Web design characteristics, specifically perceived quality of presentation, perceived ease of navigation, and several user attributes. A research model is proposed that builds upon prior research on trust, and a survey is developed based on the constructs and relationships in the model. This article provides theoretical and practical implications.

PAPER FOUR:

Capturing and Comprehending the Behavioral/Dynamical Interactions within an ERP Implementation

James R. Burns, Texas Tech University, USA Don G. Jung, MyongJi University, Korea James J. Hoffman, Texas Tech University, USA

The behavioral and dynamic implications of an ERP deployment are, to say the least, not well understood. Getting the switches set to enable the ERP software to go live is tedious, but the difficult part is understanding the dynamic interactions that accrue as a consequence. Connectionist and causal models are proposed in this article to facilitate an understanding of the dynamics and to enable control of the information-enhanced processes to take place. The connectionist model facilitates the understanding of the dynamic behavioral implications of the larger ERP implementation installation. The underlying connectionist model observes and detects information transfers and workflow. Once maps of the total infrastructure are determined by the models, an analyst suggests improvements. The models then become decision support aids for process analysts in situations where ideal process flows/information transfers are sought.
