Abstract

Greetings from the desk of the Editor-in-Chief
It is a great honor and privilege for me to be appointed as Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Information Technology Applications (ITA). Journal ITA is an official journal published by the Faculty of Informatics of the Pan-European University on behalf of Slovak Society for Cybernetics and Informatics, which is one of the national scientific societies at the Slovak Academy of Sciences and on behalf of the civil association EDUCATION-SCIENCE-RESEARCH.
The journal publishes articles investigating the design, simulation and modeling, implementation and analysis of advanced methods, algorithms and technologies in different fields of applications, for example in industries, economy, health care and services, etc.
This journal aims to integrate the latest knowledge and practical results from researchers, educators and practitioners who effectively use the knowledge and bring it to practical life. Submissions of original research and focused review articles are welcomed from scientists and engineers across the community.
I would like to thank my predecessor, the former Editor-in-Chief prof. Frank Schindler and his team. I applaud him for his inspiring commitment, outstanding contribution, and service in elevating the journal to its current level of excellence.
I assume and consider it necessary in the nearest future to expand the editorial board with new members who have significant results in the subject area. The new editorial team will continue to seek his expert guidance for taking IT to further heights of recognition and readership.
As I look forward to this new role, I welcome input from you, our readers and contributors to enhance the overall quality of our journal. Together with the erudite team of editorial board, I will work passionately to take the journal to the next level. Editorial board team welcomes your manuscript submissions and looks forward to an enjoyable experience while working with your contributions.
With best wishes for a very happy and successful 2022.

Dear authors, dear readers,
this issue is completed after the second half of season 2021, the second season of epidemic situation which reduced direct communication where new ideas and activity mostly reveal. Up to date, we have collected six papers containig various topics in information technology and theory.
Besides two present publishers of our ITA journal, Pan-European University and the civil association EDUCATION-SCIENCE-RESEARCH, a third subject expressed interest and joined this season being a co-publisher: Slovak Society for Cybernetics and Informatics (SSKI) at the Slovak Academy of Sciences. This is a promise for more support of ITA journal activity in the near future.
Despite of contemporary complicated period, our Faculty of informatics has a constant interest from young graduated as well as older employed people to enter our study program. We offer a space in our journal to publish interesting results from their qualifying theses and assignments.
Besides of two promised issues of journal a year, we would like to produce in the future some additional issues covering selected professional events. Another special attempt is to produce monotematic editions of journal, after the negotiation with joined communities of experts. Your forthcoming papers and contributions are welcomed around the year.
