Abstract
The intensive use of electronic equipment and the growing offer of services over the Internet has increased the incidence of computer crime. Although there are public measures in Portugal aimed at promoting the digital skills of citizens in matters of security and privacy of electronic equipment, they need to address the more complex aspects of this type of crime. Due to this specificity, preventive measures of the phenomenon may benefit from the know-how and experience of entities with legal powers in the area, especially the National Center for Cybersecurity (CNCS), the Public Prosecutor's Office (MP), and the Judicial Police (PJ). In the public administration in Portugal, emerging technologies based on artificial intelligence (AI) are being adopted to enhance communication between the State and citizens. Awareness-raising extensive actions should make use of these technological tools. Thus, this article describes the research leading to the identification of an efficient electronic device (artifact) in an e-government context aimed at informing and raising awareness among citizens about the growing phenomenon of cybercrime.

Abstract
Designing systems to serve a large number of people, who have similar demands, but also have varied needs and generate a huge volume of data, requires a software architecture that allows constant evolution, is easy to maintain, and has the ability to scale smartly. The SPL technique with microservices architecture seems promising to meet these requirements, but this integration is not trivial. Thus, we conduct a SLR that identified 3 architectures that proposed the combination of these techniques. However, the architectures found were complex and reduced time-to-market, as they proposed the implementation of all resources through microservices. Thus, in order to reduce the complexity of development and, consequently, reduce the time to market, this work presents a proposal for the design of a hybrid SPL architecture, through the combination of large backend APIs and microservices. In addition, this research paper presents a case study that consisted of defining the architecture of a medical clinics SPL as a Multi-tenant Software as a Service. Finally, we compare the complexity of the architecture generated using our approach, with a microservice architecture constructed using other approach found in literature.

Abstract
Since its appearance in 2008, blockchain technology has found multiple uses in fields such as banking, supply chain management, and healthcare. One of the most intriguing uses of blockchain is in voting systems, where the technology can overcome the security and transparency concerns that plague traditional voting systems. This paper provides a thorough examination of the implementation of a blockchain-based voting system. The proposed system employs cryptographic methods to protect voters' privacy and anonymity while ensuring the verifiability and integrity of election results. Digital signatures, homomorphic encryption (He), zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), and the Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus method underpin the system. A review of the literature on the use of blockchain technology for voting systems supports the analysis and the technical and logistical constraints connected with implementing the suggested system. The study suggests solutions to problems such as managing voter identification and authentication, ensuring accessibility for all voters, and dealing with network latency and scalability. The suggested blockchain-based voting system can provide a safe and transparent platform for casting and counting votes, ensuring election results' privacy, anonymity, and verifiability. The implementation of blockchain technology can overcome traditional voting systems' security and transparency shortcomings while also delivering a high level of integrity and traceability.
