Alternative Models of Graph Visualization
There are many data visualization tools in various application fields, but at the same time, the main difficulty lies in presenting data of an interconnected (node-link) structure, i.e., networks. Typically, a lot of software means use graphs as the most straightforward and versatile models. To facilitate visual analysis, researchers are developing ways to arrange graph elements to make comparing, searching, and navigating data easier.

Amazon Relational Database Service
Amazon Relational Database Service (or Amazon RDS) is a distributed relational database service by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It is a web service running "in the cloud" designed to simplify the setup, operation, and scaling of a relational database for use in applications. Administration processes like patching the database software, backing up databases and enabling point-in-time recovery are managed automatically. Scaling storage and compute resources can be performed by a single API call to the AWS control plane on-demand. AWS does not offer an SSH connection to the underlying virtual machine as part of the managed service.

An Ontology-Based Approach for Knowledge Acquisition
Selecting the right supplier is a critical decision in sustainable supply chain management. Sustainable supplier selection plays an important role in achieving a balance between the three pillars of a sustainable supply chain: economic, environmental, and social.

Anomaly Detection in Software-Defined Networks
One solution enabling the implementation of modern methods for managing and monitoring telecommunication networks is the concept of software-defined networks (SDN). It introduces a centralized architecture for managing computer networks that is fully programmable. With the increasing availability of computational power, contemporary machine learning has undergone a paradigm shift, placing a heightened emphasis on deep learning methodologies. The pervasive automation of various processes necessitates a critical re-evaluation of contemporary network implementations, specifically concerning security protocols and the imperative need for swift, precise responses to system failures.

Anonymizing Transaction Data with Set Values
The definition of anonymity emphasizes the fact that the attacker can identify a person based on some of the sensitive set values about which the attacker has prior knowledge of in the set value data.

Ansible
Ansible is an open-source software provisioning, configuration management, and application-deployment tool enabling infrastructure as code. It runs on many Unix-like systems, and can configure both Unix-like systems as well as Microsoft Windows. It includes its own declarative language to describe system configuration. Ansible was written by Michael DeHaan and acquired by Red Hat in 2015. Ansible is agentless, temporarily connecting remotely via SSH or Windows Remote Management (allowing remote PowerShell execution) to do its tasks.

Application of Blockchain Technology in Patient-Centric Healthcare Systems
Healthcare data are considered sensitive and confidential, and storing these sensitive data in traditional (i.e., centralized) databases may expose risks, such as penetration or data leaks. Furthermore, patients may have incomplete health records since they visit various healthcare centers and leave their data scattered in different places. One solution to resolve these problems and permit patients to own their records is a decentralized personal health record (PHR); this can be achieved through decentralization and distribution systems, which are fundamental attributes of blockchain technology.

Application of IoT in Virus Detection
Today, healthcare system models should have high accuracy and sensitivity so that patients do not have a misdiagnosis. For this reason, sufficient knowledge of the area is required, with the medical staff being able to validate the correctness of their decisions. Therefore, artificial intelligence (AI) in combination with other emerging technologies could provide many benefits in the medical sector.

Application of Maturity-Models in Universities
A maturity model is a widely used tool in software engineering and has mostly been extended to domains such as education, health, energy, finance, government, and general use. It is valuable for evaluations and continuous improvement of business processes or certain aspects of organizations, as it represents a more organized and systematic way of doing business. We present a Systematic Literature Review study of the elements and purposes of the maturity models applied to universities. Obtaining results that show the intention to evaluating the maturity of only some areas of the universities and not the whole, creating some gaps that do not allow to measure the desired level. It also shows how information technologies help its implementation in the field.

Architectural Aspects of Blockchain-Based IoT Economy
When an IoT ecosystem is equipped with a blockchain, many aspects regarding the blockchain itself and how it is integrated with the rest of the ecosystem have to be carefully considered. The adoption of a blockchain is not free, but it raises problems (e.g., regarding scalability) that have to be addressed to allow a project to develop and work correctly and profitably. On the other hand, it is possible to recognize some blockchain design opportunities that become available when a blockchain is used in an IoT ecosystem.
