A Conceptual Approach to the Formation of an Intelligent Digital Innovation Economy
Alovsat Garaja ALIYEV 5
This paper analyzes the essence of the conceptual approach to the intellectual digital innovation economy, which will be formed based on the normal development of the digital economy. It is noted that most researchers of the economy of the modern era use many different concepts such as knowledge, digital, Internet, post-industrial, virtual, network, information, electronic, intellectual, etc. in their works. Scientific approaches to the study of the development problems of the intellectual economy formed in the new era are classified. As a result of summarizing existing scientific works, a new approach to the system of economic relations using modern innovative information technologies, the intellectual information environment efficiently developed with ICT, and the newly formed intellectual digital innovation economy are proposed. With the help of digital technologies, priority directions for developing information infrastructure, and Global digital space, including new business models, have been proposed. By using the concept of Industry 4.0 and "smart structures" as the driving force of the digital transformation of industrial development, taking advantage of the use of the "cyber-physical system" as a unified complex of information resources, systems, and physical processes and the Internet of Things, cloud, Big Data, artificial intelligence technologies, new recommendations on the formation of the economy were given.

An Overview of Data Vault Methodology and Its Benefits
Andreea VINES, Radu-Eleonor SAMOILA 15
Business Intelligence plays a vital role in helping organizations to extract meaningful insights from their data and make informed decisions. However, choosing the right data modeling approach can be challenging, as different methodologies have unique advantages and limitations. The focus of the current paper is to provide an insight into the Data Vault architecture, which is an emerging approach to data modeling, compared to the established methods of Kimball and Inmon. The paper conducted a comparative analysis of these methodologies, with a particular emphasis on the benefits of Data Vault. This study highlights the advantages of the Data Vault model in managing data from multiple sources and its compatibility with agile implementation practices. Overall, this paper sheds light on the relevance of Data Vault in contemporary data management practices.

Big Data in Food Industry: A Technical Summary of Modern Approaches Used in Data Extraction
Andreea-Alina CORNEA 25
The food industry has consistently ranked among the most important industries, providing essential goods for consumption and satisfying the primary needs of individuals, as outlined in Maslow's Pyramid. Access to basic resources, such as water, housing and shelter, is necessary for individuals to meet their basic needs and normally function. While the higher levels of the Pyramid may be achieved through personal and professional growth and education, the foundational elements are essential for human survival. Given the critical importance of this industry, continuous investment in efficient methods of production is justified. In recent years, technology has played an increasingly significant role in the food industry, enabling optimization of various processes, greater control over production and transport, and faster promotion, resulting in increased sales volumes. This article aims to identify and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of different methods and technologies employed in the food industry. The goal is to capture the data necessary for technological solutions that simplify, expedite or reduce the cost of processes, while maintaining or even improving quality standards.

Theoretical and Applied in Automating Kubernetes Resources
Pavel-Cristian CRACIUN, Cristian Robert NECULA 36
This paper represents both a theoretical and practical approach to the possibility of manag-ing and automating Kubernetes resources through the lens of a web solution. The solution proposed, KubeGen, represents a graphical user interface, template-based resource genera-tion and built-in validation. We demonstrate how KubeGen can streamline Kubernetes re-source creation by enhancing compliance with best practices. By highlighting critical pain point in Kubernetes resource management, the solution offers a more efficient and user-centric method for deploying and maintaining modern applications.

The Current State and Future Perspectives Regarding the Sustained Activity within a Circular Economic System
Denis-Alexandru DRAGOMIR 46
A circular approach in the economy means and promotes, in principle, the reusability of products and materials through different processes such as recycling. refurbishment and remanufacturing. The question that has been frequently asked in the past was: ’Is the transi-tion from a linear model necessary?’ But, as the time passed and multiple sources of pres-sure began to appear (even if we speak about the resource finiteness or the actual state of the environment), forcing multiple states to take more and more severe regulatory action by refining exiting laws or introducing new ones, and to release incentives to counterbalance the negative effects generated until then, the need of transition is more urgent than ever. So, in this paper, I review the main characteristics of the circular system, giving arguments for why the transition to it is so important, as well as the benefits of doing so, present the actual state of things, both in Europe and the United States of America, describing the main actions undertaken to facilitate it (the Green Deal initiative in Europe, as well as the EPA initiatives in USA), then analyze how the modern era contributes and will contribute in all the process (by including some important aspects about digitalization and artificial intelligence and how they can help).

IoT Security Based on Real-Time Queuing Process Monitoring in Smart Homes
Nicolae-Gabriel VASILESCU 61
This paper presents real-time monitoring of processes that listen on IBM queues which transfer messages, alerting the smart home ownership in case of exceptions. To help that monitoring, the IBM CheckMK tool notifies the residents by email or SMS with a specific message showing the problem that occurred when a certain flow in the home has changes due to unknown causes. The actual announcement to the owner of the house can be made through various platforms that verify in real time the e-mail address or phone number and notify the residents with an alarm in case of a major problem at the level of IoT-based processes and components. It is shown that through this implementation the situations in which the messages do not reach the recipient person in the smart home environment can be avoided, thus causing even financial damage.
