We expand upon some topics reviewed and sketched in [15] with more details, embellishments, and some new material of a speculative nature.

Monitoring of critical systems such as large server parks require suitable visualization tools that draw the attention to essential aspects of system state to ensure continuous operation. Moreover, administration is increasingly performed using mobile devices giving operators more freedom. Mobile device form factors limit the amount of data that can be displayed. This study explores if visual e...

Abstract Athaliah in Josephus is rarely studied. This paper thus seeks to build on Christopher Begg’s text-critical work by discussing the literary effect of Josephus’ embellishments narratives. shown be more explicitly foreign and illegitimate than biblical texts, but also a dynamic, rounded character.
