THE CITRA KARISMA AWARD 2024!

THE CITRA KARISMA AWARD 2024!

Grateful to have been awarded the Award for Indexed Journal Publication at the Citra Karisma 2024, which is Universiti Teknologi Malaysia’s prestigious university achievements award. Basically this award acknowledges the significant research contributions in indexed journals throughout 2023.

I want to express my sincere thanks to Universiti Teknologi Malaysia for this honor and to all my colleagues and students for their continued support and collaboration. Let us keep to continue pushing the boundaries of knowledge and excellence in research.

Research publication is not solely a university’s KPI – it is one of the most valuable research products that reflects the entire journey of academic and scientific discovery. It’s a process that begins with brainstorming, shaping ideas into proposals, securing funding, and working tirelessly alongside fellow researchers. It involves countless hours of dedication, navigating challenges, and pouring in both sweat and tears to bring those ideas to fruition. Only then do we synthesize all of this hard work into a paper, not for personal gain but to share freely with the world, advancing knowledge for the betterment of humanity.

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

Let’s never stop aiming higher!

NEW PUBLICATION FROM OUR GROUP!

NEW PUBLICATION FROM OUR GROUP!

Our latest paper, “Navigating Immovable Assets: A Graph-Based Spatio-Temporal Data Model for Effective Information Management” has been published in the ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information (IJGI)!

This research addresses the challenges of managing spatial and temporal data in asset management by introducing a graph-based spatio-temporal data model. Our approach integrates topological relationships and temporal sequences, using 3D city models and a NoSQL graph database to enhance asset management processes.

Key features include:

– A graph-based method for modeling building spaces using 3D data.

– A novel process model, Aggregated Directly-Follows Multigraph (ADFM), for temporal event management.

– Improved query efficiency and accuracy in managing complex asset data.

This work is a significant step forward in the field of geoinformatics and asset management, offering practical solutions for more effective decision-making.

LATEST RESEARCH ON SMART CITY FRAMEWORKS

LATEST RESEARCH ON SMART CITY FRAMEWORKS

Our latest conference paper, “Dimensions and Attributes of Smart City Framework: Systematic Literature Review,” which is now published in the Developments and Applications in SmartRail, Traffic, and Transportation Engineering series (ICSTTE 2023). This research provides a comprehensive evaluation of smart city frameworks, focusing on the dimensions and attributes that are crucial for developing intelligent and sustainable urban environments.

Our study reviewed literature from 2014 to 2020, analyzing smart city parameters such as suprastructure, infrastructure, and infostructure. We explored how these elements, along with intelligent government services, can be optimized to better serve society. Our findings highlight the need for improved infrastructure and smarter city facilities, with government prioritizing public infrastructure as a key factor in realizing smart cities.

This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the essential components that make up smart cities, providing a conceptual diagram that simplifies the smart urban concept for policymakers and urban planners.

FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING IN GEOSPATIAL SCIENCE

This is a photo from exactly seven years ago when I was testing an algorithm I developed to create stereo image from a single photo. The tested image on the left is the original. The image on the right shows the local extrema and minimal pixel intersection based on the code I wrote myself. This was done using the Haskell functional programming language, among the fastest programming method available today. This work was conducted in our Photogrammetry lab at the National Space Institute, Denmark.
