Example 1. Information Architecture
Knowing information architecture as the structural design of some information environment, it is also interesting to get to know that it involves science as well as the art of labelling and organizing different websites, online communities, software and intranets in order to be able to support both findability and usability. It is also an emerging community of the practice, which is known to be focused on using the principles of both architecture and design to the digital landscape. Usually, the mentioned process is known to be involving a concept or some model of information, both used and later applied to activities, which are known to be requiring the explicit details of some complex, usually large, information systems. The mentioned activities can include database development as well as library systems.
Information architecture is simply known to be considered as something founded by Richard Saul Wurman. Nowadays there is a growing network of the active IA specialists who are known to be constituting the Information Architecture Institute. Any information architecture has a few different meanings, depending on which of the branches of information technology or information systems it is used in. Thus, it can be used in the structural design of the shared information environments, the art and/or science of organizing and labelling some websites, online communities, software and/or intranets for supporting the findability as well as usability.
Information architecture can be also used in an emerging community of the practice, which is known to be focused on upbringing the principles of either design or architecture, or both, to the digital landscape. The combination of the process of labelling, search, organization and navigation systems within some particular intranets and websites can be also the field of activity where Information architecture is a commonly used term.
In order to extract some required parameters or data of the Engineering Designs during the process of creating a so-called “knowledge-base” for linking different systems as well as different standards, Information architecture is also a necessary thing to involve. Information architecture can be also a navigational aid as well as a blueprint to the content of the so-called “information-rich” systems. It is also known to be a subset of the data architecture, where some usable data/information is known to be constructed in. Such data can be designed or arranged in a fashion most useful or/and simply holistic to the users of such data.
The practice of a process of organizing some information, content and/or functionality of some website, presenting the best user experience, having an information as well as the services which are being easily findable and usable (due to the development as well as web design), is also known to be connected with term of “information architecture”. The most difficulty within such processes is to establish a common definition for the "information architecture" term, known to be arising partly from its own existence in the multiple fields. For instance, in the field of the systems design, the information architecture is simply one of the components of the enterprise architecture, known to be dealing with the information component while describing the structure of an enterprise itself.
Thus, as the definition of such term as “information architecture” is known to be well-established, at least within the field of systems design, it is known to be much more debatable within the context of the online information systems (such as websites). Sometimes, information architecture can involve more than just the organization of a website, but also the factors in user experience, considering the usability issues of the information design in this way.

The information design itself is a commonly known practice of presenting some information so it becomes effective as well as efficient for understanding it. The term itself has come to be used specifically within such field of activity as graphic design for displaying the information in an effective way, instead of making it attractive or using for the artistic expression. The term of information design is also known to be closely related to the field of data visualization, that is why it is known to be often taught as a part of the graphic design courses, as it is an explanation design, used for explaining the facts of the world, leading to knowledge as well as informed action.

Local area network connects computers and other network appliances within an area, such as office building or a campus. It can be difficult to provide such network without a predesigned plan. For these purposes you can use network diagram software, which helps you to create LAN network diagrams and office network diagrams quickly and effortless. This will speed up your work and you can save the diagram for the future network improvements.
The following diagram illustrates a network topology of the small office. LAN configuration has a star topology. The local network joins 8 computers among which are several desktop PCs, laptop, two iMacs and iBook. The end-point devices are divided into three groups. Each group is connected to its hub. There is a network printer and a modem, which are interconnected with other devices through a network server. Each computer on the LAN can access the server through a corresponding hub.

Developing a software project supposes architecture first. To make it proper, you can use data flow diagram model in your current project.
The data flow diagram represents the Model of small traditional production enterprise that is made using Yourdon and Coad notation. It shows how the data is transfered through a process. According to the notation of Yourdon and Coad a process is represented by circles and data stores are drawn using parallel lines. This DFD was created using the ConceptDraw Data Flow Diagrams solution. Using this solution one can visualize data flow accordingly to the rules of two basic notations used for data flow modeling.

When trying to figure out the nature of the problems occurring within a project, there are many ways to develop such understanding. One of the most common ways to document processes for further improvement is to draw a process flowchart, which depicts the activities of the process arranged in sequential order — this is business process management. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is business process mapping software with impressive range of productivity features for business process management and classic project management. This business process management software is helpful for many purposes from different payment processes, or manufacturing processes to chemical processes. Business process mapping flowcharts helps clarify the actual workflow of different people engaged in the same process. This samples were made with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM — business process mapping software for flowcharting and used as classic visio alternative because its briefly named "visio for mac" and for windows, this sort of software named the business process management tools.
This flowchart diagram shows a process flow of project management. The diagram that is presented here depicts the project life cycle that is basic for the most of project management methods. Breaking a project into phases allows to track it in the proper manner. Through separation on phases, the total workflow of a project is divided into some foreseeable components, thus making it easier to follow the project status. A project life cycle commonly includes: initiation, definition, design, development and implementation phases. Distinguished method to show parallel and interdependent processes, as well as project life cycle relationships. A flowchart diagram is often used as visual guide to project. For instance, it used by marketing project management software for visualizing stages of marketing activities or as project management workflow tools. Created with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM — business process mapping software which is flowcharting visio alternative or shortly its visio for mac, this sort of software platform often named the business process management tools.
