Vol. 2 No. 2 (2026): International Journal of Information Science and Technological Applications-UAS IJISTA

Volume II, Issue II of IJISTA brings together five articles focused on practical applications of computer science: the first one closes the issue with a scientific computing study, quantitatively analyzing the efficiency of OpenMP parallelization in the numerical solution of the diffusion equation; the second and fourth research papers address cybersecurity and network monitoring from different angles: one through MikroTik and Debian-based services with firewall rules and HTTPS, and the other through FlowTrix, a proprietary platform for proactive endpoints auditing tested in university computer labs; the third scientific article explores the use of artificial intelligence to enhance the efficiency of organizational processes, projecting optimal improvements through theoretical simulation; the fifth and final article to considerate, maps an ecosystem of free, open-source tools for independent video games development.

Overall, the issue combines network infrastructure and cybersecurity, applied artificial intelligence, software development, and high-performance computing, produced mainly by students and academics, such as educators and faculty members whose academic work and research field is actively affiliated with the Facultad de Informática Mazatlán at UAS, with a strong experimental validation component in several research projects.
