ICACSIS 2011

I have presented some papers on International Conference, but it is the first time I submit the paper for ICACSIS 2011. This conference is about Computer Science and Information System that committed by Universitas Indonesia. The conference will be held at Mercure Hotel, Ancol, North Jakarta, Indonesia. Unfortunately, at that day, I will attend the IELTS Test in PPB UGM, so I asked the second writer, Mr Haryono to present our paper. I hope he will be able to present our paper without any mistakes and there is no problem about the language.

Our research is about real time network monitoring using artificial neural network of our hotspot area. The committee of ICACSIS 2011 said that our research is has a novelty and interesting, but there are so many grammar error. The important critics is about cross validation that I did not mention in our paper. The cross validation is a testing method that use some groups. Every group must be tested after training by other group and vice versa.

If you want to join this conference as a participant, you can attend this on 17 – 18 December 2011. It costs Rp. 200.000,00 and I think it is not expensive compared to the experience that you will get there, as many researcher from overseas will come and present their interesting paper.

Update: 19/04/2017

The paper was indexed by IEEE (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6140744/) and Scopus (http://www.scopus.com/inward/authorDetails.url?authorID=55014574400&partnerID=MN8TOARS), with 2 citated (not bad 🙂 )

Competitive Research Grant Presentation

Dikti does not support the Young Lecturer Research grant anymore, but it still supports the Competitive research grant. It is difficult to get this grant because we have to present our research proposal first. On 5 December 2011, I presented my research proposal at Educational University of Indonesia (UPI) Bandung. My Research Proposal has a title “The evaluation and optimation of gas station building in Bekasi by using genetic algorithm”.


There were two group who would present the proposal: Main group and Guiding group. My university was member of guiding group that must be guided by other universities. Our group consists of 17 universities. Every leader of research presented for about 10 minutes before asked more about her/his research proposal by the interviewer, Mr Anton and Mrs Nenden.


After waiting for about 45 minutes, I presented my research proposal in front of other participants. I must reduced my power point because every presenter only needed 10 minutes. I must waited two other speakers before asked with so many questions. The first interviewer asked me whether my proposal was for competitive or fundamental grant. I was very surprised when listened that question. Fortunately, after little explanation about the content of my research proposal, he said that it was only wrong title, not wrong proposal. The second interviewer, Mrs Nenden, only asked simple and easy question about what research that I have done. I explained about my last research such as attendance system, engineering calculation, and so on. When all participants finished, I was disappointed because my watch showed that I miss my train to Yogyakarta, but I was very happy when my wife phoned me and said if our tickets were bought back by our national train department.
