Abstract
Welcome to Volume 12, Issue 1 of the Latin-American Journal of Computing (LAJC).
It is a privilege to introduce this latest edition, which brings together eight high-quality research articles addressing some of the most pressing challenges in the fields of computing and technology. These studies showcase the innovation and dedication of researchers committed to advancing knowledge and tackling real-world problems.
This issue covers a diverse range of relevant and timely topics, including environmental monitoring, data visualization, systematic reviews, renewable energy systems, microservices architecture, and smart city solutions. Each article offers valuable insights and practical applications, reflecting the journal's mission to foster impactful and rigorous research.
Among the contributions of this issue, readers will find:
- An innovative wireless geolocation system designed to monitor and reduce pollution in urban areas.
- A systematic data visualization framework tailored to support strategic decision-making in global trade.
- Insights into routing attack defense mechanisms for Internet of Things (IoT) networks.
- A user-friendly web-based tool for sizing photovoltaic systems aligned with Ecuador’s renewable energy targets.
- Comprehensive reviews and methodologies that enhance cloud computing adoption, protect mobile users, and streamline urban traffic management.
These contributions emphasize the significance of interdisciplinary collaboration in addressing complex societal issues, both in Latin America and on a global scale.
On behalf of the editorial committee, I want to extend my gratitude to all authors, reviewers, and the editorial team whose dedication makes this issue possible. We remain committed to supporting our contributors and readers by providing a platform for sharing cutting-edge research and fostering academic collaboration.
We hope this issue inspires further innovations and meaningful conversations within the computing community.
