Purpose: This study aims to examine the effect of application architecture and application efficiency on the intention to continue using Islamic bank with data security as a moderator. The investigation was situated within the framework of a hacker attack that compromised the security of customer data at one of Indonesia's largest Islamic bank. Design/methodology/approach: A survey questionnaire method was used, and the sample population comprised users of Islamic bank in Indonesia. The respondents were then selected purposively with the criteria of individuals who were using mobile banking services. Furthermore, data collection in this study was carried out by distributing questionnaires online. To validate the questionnaire, consultation and validation were conducted by engaging four experts and conducting a pilot study. Hypothesis testing was performed using the structural equation modeling method based on partial least squares. Findings: The results of the partial least square structural model assessment showed that application efficiency and data security positively influenced the intention to continue using Islamic bank, while application architecture had no effect. Furthermore, data security could not moderate the relationship between application architecture and efficiency toward the intention to continue using Islamic bank. Practical implications: The results of this study suggested that Islamic banking practitioners must prioritize the enhancement of digital banking services, with a specific focus on improving application efficiency and ensuring robust data security. These two dimensions were critical determinants influencing the intention to continue using Islamic bank. Originality/value: This study addressed the issue of data security as a moderator, particularly in the context of hacker attacks targeting a major Islamic bank in Indonesia. Furthermore, this current report expounded on the study conducted by Mir et al. (2022) by introducing novel dimensions to the e-service quality of internet banking. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The rapid and dynamic development of information technology in today's digital era has a significant impact on organizations in managing information and data. This also applies to universities that need to optimize data and information management in order to improve service quality and organizational performance. Therefore, it is necessary to design an appropriate and integrated strategic information system, which is able to support the decisionmaking process effectively and efficiently, as well as integrate various functions and processes in various organizational units on campus. Enterprise is a set of organizations that have several general goals / principles and / or a baseline. Higher education is one of the enterprises engaged in education. The increasing need for data and information in business functions carried out by a university is one of the drivers of the use of information systems in universities. Therefore, in this study will be designed on 3 (three) architectural models, namely data architecture, architecture, applications and technology architectures using the Enterprise Architecture Planning (EAP) method.

In complex information systems, some features may recur hundreds of times. Therefore, identifying such features and suggesting suitable design solutions for them can simplify the development and maintenance of such complex systems. In that regard, this work introduces five design patterns that were utilized to develop data management features that recurred many times in several web-based information systems used to manage enterprise and student data at the German Jordanian University. In this context, a software design pattern describes a solution to design repeating software features. The proposed design patterns are documented in a general manner using UML diagrams to enable utilizing them in different web development platforms and to allow their development using popular object-oriented programming languages. In particular, the suggested patterns seek to solve the following software features: flexible user interface for data management, reusable module for dependent dropdown filters, table data lazy loading, unified modules to handle data addition and editing, and page state restoration when navigating between related pages. Not to mention, the validation results show that the discussed design patterns were used hundreds of times while implementing six information systems for the university. Specifically, one of the patterns was utilized more than 700 times. Additionally, as it seems that some of the design patterns in this work were not investigated in related work.

Digital twin (DT) is a hot topic in information engineering, which has been introduced into the intelligent solution of the power grid system to deal with the reliability assurance issues of complex systems. Due to the lack of an operational application architecture model, it is impossible to map the complex system comprehensively. Based on the review of the concept model of DT and the current research situation in the smart grid (SG), an OKDD [i.e., ontology-body (OB), knowledge-body (KB), data-body (DB), and digital-portal (DP)] model of digital twin body (DTB) is proposed and specified in detail. Taking a vacuum circuit breaker and a 35 kV substation of the power grid as examples, the OKDD is applied in the DTB construction, and the developed prognostic and health management (PHM) system demo is practiced in a 110 kV substation simply. The approach is proved to be feasible preliminarily. This model provides a novel method for the unified description and standardization of DTB, which is conducive to the hierarchical creation (unit-system-system of systems) for complex systems. Meanwhile, it can represent complex physical entities more comprehensively, and enable the reuse of knowledge and the duplication of similar unit-level DTB rapidly. Thus, this research provides a new reference for the practical application of DT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Dynamic line rating is a technology that can be used to improve the transmission efficiency and capacity of the existing power system without changing the system structure or breaking the current technical specification. It is an economical and feasible method to meet the increasing power demands and the needs for new energy integration. In order to ensure the safe and stable operation of power system, the specific technologies and application methods affecting the reliability of DLR are discussed.

The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm is being rapidly adopted for the creation of smart environments in various domains. The IoT-enabled cyber-physical systems associated with smart city, healthcare, Industry 4.0 and Agtech handle a huge volume of data and require data processing services from different types of applications in real time. The Cloud-centric execution of IoT applications barely meets such requirements as the Cloud datacentres reside at a multi-hop distance from the IoT devices. Fog computing, an extension of Cloud at the edge network, can execute these applications closer to data sources. Thus, Fog computing can improve application service delivery time and resist network congestion. However, the Fog nodes are highly distributed and heterogeneous, and most of them are constrained in resources and spatial sharing. Therefore, efficient management of applications is necessary to fully exploit the capabilities of Fog nodes. In this work, we investigate the existing application management strategies in Fog computing and review them in terms of architecture, placement and maintenance. Additionally, we propose a comprehensive taxonomy and highlight the research gaps in Fog-based application management. We also discuss a perspective model and provide future research directions for further improvement of application management in Fog computing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
