Editorial
Abstract
Welcome to Volume 12, Issue 2 of the Latin-American Journal of Computing (LAJC)
It is an honor to present this new issue, which brings a collection of eight research articles that tackle today’s pressing challenges in computing with insight, innovation, and care. This issue reflects a shared commitment to advancing technical and scientific knowledge for the benefit of the Latin American region.
The contributions featured in this edition spans educational tools, sustainability efforts, and institutional change. Among them are studies that analyze the adoption of digital technologies in public universities, and the design of digital tools for estimating household greenhouse gas emissions. This issue also includes applied proposals such as educational chatbots for secondary schools, intelligent systems for analyzing black holes through digital signal processing techniques, and desktop applications to support the efficient management of blood banks. From an institutional perspective, one article explores digital transformation in universities as a mechanism to improve academic administration, while another analyzes how cloud computing is transforming higher education. Lastly, a systematic review addresses the use of blockchain technology for digital identity management in Africa, highlighting its potential in low-infrastructure contexts.
These studies demonstrate technical advancement across diverse areas in computing science and emphasize the importance of collaborative and contextualized research.
We extend our gratitude to the authors for sharing their research, to the reviewers for their constructive comments, and to the editorial team for their continuous commitment to quality and scientific dissemination.
We hope this issue inspires new ideas, collaborations, and new directions in computing science research.
