This issue covers 8 papers of various topics in computer science by
authors from 10 countries. Iria Estévez-Ayres, Raquel
M. Crespo-García, Jesús A. Fisteus, and Carlos Delgado Kloos from
Spain discuss research on an algorithm for peer review in massive
online courses. Doron Drusinsky from the USA introduces a novel
behavioral and temporal pattern detection technique using
diagrammatic, intuitive, yet formal specifications. In a collaborative
work between Mexico and India, Juan Frausto-Solís, Mishael
Sánchez-Pérez, Ernesto Liñan-García, Juan Paulo Sánchez-Hernández, and

Germany, Javier Martínez Fernández, Juan C. Augusto, Giuseppe
Trombino, Ralf Seepold, and Natividad Martínez Madrid tackle the
negative influences of stress on individuals in the decision process
in the finance market, and propose a system designed to support

likelihood of poor decision-making. Finally, Karol Rástočný, Michal
Tvarožek, and Maria Bielikova from Slovakia discuss in their
