THE SCA 2022 INTERNATIONAL TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE


THE SCA 2022 INTERNATIONAL TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE

As a member of the international technical program committees, I would like to extend an invitation to any researchers interested in submitting their research papers to the 7th Smart City Applications International Conference, held in Castelo Branco, Portugal, from October 18-21, 2022. The 7th International Conference on Smart City Applications is a multidisciplinary forum co-organized by the IPCB – Instituto Politécnico de Castelo Branco in partnership with the Mediterranean Association of Sciences and Sustainable Development (Medi-ADD). Among the related topics are:

  • 3D City Modeling and Visualization
  • Location-Based Services
  • Geographic Information Systems
  • Remote Sensing
  • Building Information Modeling (BIM)
  • GeoInformation for Mobile
  • Collective Sensing and Geo-spatial Big Data
  • Laser Scanning
  • Processing of Spatial Imagery
  • Geo AI
  • Urban Informatics
  • Geospatial Cloud Computing
  • Wireless and Mobile GIS

The purpose of the event is to bring together research scientists and engineers to debate and exchange experimental and theoretical results, creative designs, case studies, and ideas that create new trends in the field of smart cities. You are welcome to check out the website conference at https://medi-ast.org/SCA22/index.html. The paper submission link is at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sca22.

REPRESENTING 3D TOPOLOGICAL ADJACENCIES BETWEEN VOLUMES USING A 36-INTERSECTION MODEL

JOURNAL ARTICLE SHARING

Our recent journal publication in Geomatics and Environmental Engineering Vol. 16 No. 2 (2022).

This article created a new topological intersection model called the 36-Intersection Model for 0 dimension up to 3 dimensional spaces. Feel free to read the article below with tons of new improved mathematical equations (if you don’t mind):

NEW PATENT FILING REGISTERED FOR 2022

NEW PATENT FILING REGISTERED FOR 2022

I am thankful to have successfully filed a patent at the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO). My invention is entitled “A 3D Topological Based Cadastral Management System”.

The topology here is not topological error checking for geometric errors, as most researchers commonly understood. On the other hand, it’s the central topology in the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) discipline. Whenever spatial entities exist, they are linked together by distinct mathematical formulas based on their unique interactions.

INTERNSHIP STUDENTS – WEEK LAST

INTERNSHIP STUDENTS – WEEK LAST

Unexpectedly, for the first time ever, our internship students planned for a meal in the lab. Soon after our short research discussion, we enjoyed our meal and cakes. It goes on with good laugh and jokes together with our Research Officer and postgraduate students.

Upon completion of the internship, the students have remaining 2 weeks of study breaks before the new semester begins. Since they are doing well in their tasks, 3D GIS Research Lab is offering them an opportunity to continue their research tasks after completing their internship.

They accepted it since they like to learn new stuffs in the lab. I would say that the lab will be seeing them again for another two weeks. Happy researcher happy minds!

World Health Organization (WHO) Request

 

I am astounded when I got an email from the World Health Organization or WHO. They ask me to review their article about COVID-19 pandemic for WHO newsletter.

I’m really surprised because I’m not a medical doctor who specialises in this field of pandemics. But after looking at the article, my opinion is needed from the aspect of spatial/space sciences included in the article.

It’s an honour for me to accept this invitation. Given the relatively short review duration, I do understand the urgency for it and will try to give my scientific review and opinion to the best of my knowledge and experience.

From my initial point of view, the article have an impact in terms of analyzing COVID-19 spreading among humans in confined spaces.

Let us all fight this COVID-19 pandemic together!

Internship Students Industrial Meeting Experience

Internship Students Industrial Meeting Experience

I brought my lab #internship #students to a meeting with a private company (industrial key players) today. This meeting aims to discuss our UTM research progress for our contract research awarded by the #industry.

The feedback received from the students is that this is a new experience for them, even though they are not directly involved in this contract research project.

My intention is that I want to make it clear to them that, in the industry, the works are not as “beautiful” or “smooth” as written in the university textbook. Don’t blame the industries, it’s you (future graduates) to make it “smooth” as it should like in the textbook.

Apart from that, the internship students also have the opportunity to meet their classmates who are also doing their internships in the same company. They look so happy as if they weren’t seen for a long time. I would say that #studentlife is a moment that is going to last forever. Cherish every moment of it.

Student Internship Presentation

Usually it’s not a compulsory to make any presentation as an internship student. However, if you think about how important it is to make a progress presentation once a week, it will actually help students to improve their confidence and skills in communicating and presenting points to the public. Taking our little precious time to listen to this presentation may change them in the future.

I urge firms or agencies that appoint/hire internship students, educate them to be a career ready person. Don’t because they are internship students, they are only burdened with technical work without focusing on their soft skills development before getting into the industries. Do not blame the students or their institutions if they cant do the tasks. They are still in training.

I would say treat them as internships students and not as “backbenchers”.

Student Internship

STUDENT INTERNSHIP

Received three students to undergo practical training at the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia’s 3DGIS Research Lab.

Whilst ensures of the new norm, the duty-report of these internship students is made online. Our Research Officer QA41 (RO) provided an online 3D spatial modelling training on the first day of this internship.

Although these internship students receive a monthly allowance through the use of laboratory research funds, it is hoped that they will also be able to gain additional knowledge in the conduct of basic research as researchers.

Let us all pray that this pandemic will be lowered so that students can carry out research projects in the laboratory.

“Sharing do Caring”

“Sharing do Caring”

Had the opportunity to share my experience on database architecture as well as the value of metadata for successful 3D asset database management systems. This is an ongoing Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) research project at Faculty of Built Environment and Surveying. The implementation will be tested at Johor Bahru City Council to perform their daily asset management tasks.

Apart from that, I also had the opportunity to express my views and discuss how GIS can help to replace the existing implementation of land tax assessment for strata multi-level units (i.e. shopping lot in mall, apartments, etc.). May this help to ease the tasks of Land Office.
