Introducing data visualization dashboards in the technological ecosystems Francisco José García-Peñalvo GRIAL Research Group, Computer Science Department, Research Institute for Educational Sciences, Universidad de Salamanca (https://ror.org/02f40zc51), Salamanca, Spain fgarcia@usal.es http://grial.usal.es http://twitter.com/frangp https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9987-5584 Abstract Invited keynote in the International Conference on Cyber Security, Privacy and Networking (ICSPN-2022), celebrated in Thailand (Virtual Mode) on September 9-11, 2022. The keynote introduces the concept of the technological ecosystem as a set of people and software components that relate to each other through information flows in a physical environment that supports these flows, which is extended to introduce the data dashboards as a new component in the ecosystem that allows visualizing the data and interacting with them. The integration of the dashboards in the technological ecosystem is made at the metamodel level through the User metaclass.
