This thesis investigates how web agencys in Stockholm use, value and incoroprate the terms usability, user experience and interaction design in their work process. The purpose of this study is to investigate how creative professionals works with the notions of usability, user experience and interaction design with focus on the end user. Our definition of creative professionals is every employee at a web agency involved in the work process of developing digital artefacts in any capacity. We wanted to investigate how these notions are considered, consciously or unconsciously, during the workprocess. Semi-structured interviews were conducted at three different web agencys with eight different employees. The result of the study has shown that all web agencys have a constant focus on the end-user during the entire development of digital artefacts towards their customers.This focus is kept during the whole process, from the development of a concept based on knowledge on both the customer and the end-users, until the release of the end-product. The work and design methods differs between the different web agencys in which way they incorporate end-users in the process.

This research was made for trying to understand how English Christian websites using the features of web-based communication effectiveness, and gave some advice for building Christian websites in the future.The contraction process of web-based communication effectiveness indexes used literature review and content analysis. Those indexes were revised by reexamining the modern situation of websites. Five aspects of indexes were ¡§usability design¡¨, ¡§useful information¡¨, ¡§two-way communication¡¨, ¡§recreation¡¨, and ¡§information collection¡¨. 31 indexes were developed by 5 aspects. The samples separated into two groups: Online-religion websites and Religion-online websites. It examined if any different performance of accepting web-based communication effectiveness between these two types of websites. The result was not distinctly different. According to this consequence, this research suggests that revise the definition of two types of religious website is necessary. The advice for how to use web-based communication effectiveness were: (1) take use of web-PR effectiveness, ¡§Push & Pull¡¨, (2) establish online religious community, (3) emerge Online-religion websites and e-platform, (4) consideration of charging fee or service for free, (5) design the website for its user.

Nowadays, web services have been widely utilized on the Internet. The communication of organizations becomes much easier; thanks to the advances of computer and communication technologies and the inexpensive cost, and the integration of applications within and across business organizations is a trend. In general, there are two approaches in composing web services inside or outside an organization: orchestration and choreography. Previous work in the web service selection is usually based on orchestration model and focuses on the interest of a single party. However, in many application scenarios, business goals are achieved by pair-wise interactions among a set of WSs, and there is no single entity that is in charge of selecting web service for each task. Each web service can autonomously perform web service selection. By autonomy, we maintain that each WS is aware of only its partner web services. In such a choreographic environment, we study the kind of information that each web service should provide to its partner web services and how each web service should perform web service selection so as to maximize the chance of successfully accomplish a business goal. The proposed approach is evaluated by simulating 10,000 execution sequences of the target WS and assumed a fixed operation reliability for each delegation. The experimental results show that our proposed method is close to centralized method and better than other two selection methods, namely random and view-based-propagation-free.
