Abstract
Technological evolution is very present in today’s world. The Internet of Everything (IoE) is one of the next steps in this evolution. WordPress is a website-building tool that is used today to its minimum capability. The main problem is how to make WordPress customizable and reliable to support device networking and communication. This can be done by implementing a new architecture that supports WordPress as a powerful tool, allowing for scalability and maintenance. The adoption of a recent trend known as DevOps is an important step in creating and developing a strong website and ensuring its integration with multiple devices. It emphasizes continuous testing, delivery, and integration. This article is based on a literature review to justify using micro-services architecture and the DevOps approach to build a reliable and robust working tool in WordPress that can be part of the IoE. © ICST Institute for Computer Sciences, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering 2025.

Abstract
The current era where living demands an accelerated digital transition mainly focused on encouraging a smarter, healthier, and more sustainable mobility, in all its dimensions – a must concern for the young generations. The convergence through several digital services and APP can be an attitudes and perception changer within the group of academic mobility users’, promoting a more sustainable and better mobility choices that impact on the academic user’s mobility routines. Thus, encouraging a global shift to shared and active mobility services and systems bringing significant contributions to environmental sustainability and, also, to users’ health. The Academic Mobility as a Service (AMaaS) provide a digital service with mobility alternatives to support the academic population geographically located in different faculty campuses and Higher Education Institutions (HEI). The AMaaS applied to a restrict group is helpful to test innovative transport solutions and its high cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Despite the shortage of AMaaS case studies and the lack of security reference, it is imperative that a cybersecurity by design is planned and included in AMaaS design. In this paper AMaaS critical cybersecurity challenges, and potential risks are discussed and AMaaS Security by Design framework is described. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.

Abstract
The fast global expansion of online public services has transformed how governments interact with citizens, offering convenience and efficiency. However, this digital transformation also introduces significant security risks, as sensitive data exchanged between users and service providers over public networks are exposed to cyber threats. Thus, ensuring the security and trustworthiness of these services is critical to the success of Electronic Government (EGOV) initiatives. This study evaluates the information security posture of 3068 public service platforms across all 193 UN Member States through non-intrusive assessments conducted in 2023 and 2024. The evaluation focuses on three key dimensions: (i) the adoption of secure end-to-end communication protocols, (ii) the trustworthiness of digital certificate chains, and (iii) the exposure of hosting servers to known vulnerabilities. The findings reveal that while some progress has been made in securing online public services, substantial gaps remain in the implementation of international security standards and best practices. Many platforms continue to rely on outdated cryptographic protocols, misconfigured certificates, and unpatched vulnerabilities, leaving citizens and services vulnerable to cyber threats due to weaknesses that malicious actors can easily and inconspicuously identify. These insights emphasize the need for effective implementation of more comprehensive cybersecurity policies, proactive security assessments, and improved regulatory compliance checks. Additionally, this work provides actionable guidance for governments and system administrators to enhance the security of EGOV infrastructures by addressing persistent vulnerabilities and adopting robust cybersecurity practices.

Abstract
Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) systems represent an innovative method for capturing wind energy at high altitudes, where wind conditions are typically stronger and more consistent. These systems utilize flying devices tethered to a ground station to harness wind energy. An AWE system comprises a tether connecting the flying device to a base station, a control system for maneuvering the device, and a mechanism for converting kinetic energy into electricity. Researchers are exploring various materials, designs, and control methods to enhance the efficiency and reliability of AWE systems. Over the past decade, interest in AWE has surged, leading to a substantial increase in scholarly publications on the topic. This research conducts an in-depth bibliometric analysis. This analysis highlights emerging topics, allowing researchers to identify new trends and areas of interest within a field. By emphasizing these emerging topics, researchers and stakeholders can better align their efforts with the latest developments and opportunities in their area of study. Findings reveal that research on control techniques in AWE has grown at an average annual rate of 16% since 2013. Additionally, the study identifies the most influential aspects of the literature, including key topics, articles, authors, and keywords. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.

Abstract
Amidst an urgent need for sustainability, novel approaches are required to address environmental challenges. In this context, biomimicry offers a promising logic for catalyzing nature’s wisdom to address this complexity. The purpose of this research is to (1) establish a biomimetic understanding and vocabulary for sustainability and (2) apply biomimicry to upframe service ecosystems as a foundation for sustainability. Our research question is: How can the principles of natural ecosystems inform and enhance the sustainability of service ecosystems? The findings highlight upframed service ecosystems as embodying a set of practices that (1) promote mutualistic interactions, (2) build on local biotic and abiotic components supporting emergence processes, (3) leverage (bio)diversity to build resilience, (4) foster resource sharing for regeneration, and (5) bridge individual roles to optimize the community rather than individual well-being. Our upframed definition of a service ecosystem is a system of resource-integrating biotic actors and abiotic resources functioning according to ecocentric principles for mutualistic and regenerative value creation. The discussion emphasizes the implications of this upframed definition for sustainability practices, advocating for a shift in understanding and interacting with service ecosystems. It emphasizes the potential for immediate mutualistic benefits and long-term regenerative impacts. © Academy of Marketing Science 2025.
