IEEE Day 2016

IEEE Day diperingati setiap Selasa pertama di bulan Oktober. Konon, pada awal Oktober 1884 itu, para pioneer dan engineer di dunia kelistrikan berjumpa (konon termasuk Edison dan Tesla sendiri), dan memutuskan perlunya membentuk kolaborasi profesional. Kolaborasi itu kemudian mengerucut menjadi organisasi insinyur listrik Amerika atau AIEE. Di tahun 1912, sekelompok hacker membentuk organisasi IRE yang lebih berfokus pada rekayasa listrik untuk keperluan persinyalan, termasuk komunikasi radio. AIEE berfokus ke Amerika, dan IRE meluas ke mancanegara. AIEE didominasi kaum tua, sementara IRE diasiki engineer muda. Jumlah anggota IRE melampaui AIEE. Demi kemaslahatan profesi, akhirnya disusunlah penggabungan organisasi menjadi IEEE pada 1963. Logo IEEE merupakan gabungan dari layang-layang Franklin dari AIEE dan tangan kanan Ampère dari IRE. IEEE meluas ke seluruh penjuru dunia, dan mendalami teknologi pelopor, termasuk biomedical engineering, information theory, nanotechnology, dan seterusnya. Walau didirikan pada tahun 1963, namun IEEE melacak jejak sejarahnya sejak Selasa pertama Oktober 1884 itu.

Awal Oktober ini, kebetulan ada beberapa event di IEEE Indonesia. Jadi kami tak merasa perlu membuat event khusus untuk memperingati IEEE Day. Ini beberapa event IEEE yang aku hadiri sambil merayakan IEEE Day:

SERPONG: SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY FESTIVAL

Science & Technology Festival diselenggarakan oleh LIPI di ICE Serpong, 03-05 Oktober 2016. Di dalamnya, tercakup delapan konferensi, dari mekatronika, informatika, kimia, dll. Dua diantaranya disponsori juga oleh IEEE, yaitu IC3INA dan ICRAMET. Sebagai bagian dari kegiatan ini, pada Selasa 04 Oktober, diselenggarakan workshop / seminar tentang Kolaborasi Riset & Publikasi Karya Ilmiah, diselenggarakan oleh Kemkominfo, LIPI, dan IEEE Indonesia. Aku menyampaikan paparan 3 jam, menampilkan peluang kerjasama riset & publikasi melalui komunitas profesional, plus prosedur penyelenggaraan konferensi internasional dengan sponsor dari IEEE.

DENPASAR: ICSGTEIS & SMART CITY SEMINAR

International Conference on Smart-Green Technology in Electrical and Information Systems (ICSGTEIS) diselenggarakan Universitas Udayana dengan sponsor dari IEEE. Ide ICSGTEIS diprakarsai di FORTEI 2014, saat para dosen Teknik Elektro Universitas Udayana dan aku (mewakili IEEE Indonesia) memperbincangkan (secara informal) kesiapan Universitas Udayana menyelenggarakan konferensi internasional sendiri, plus dukungan ketat dari IEEE Indonesia.

ICSGTEIS 2016 adalah konferensi kedua dalam seri ini, diselenggarakan di Pantai Sanur, Bali, 06-08 Oktober 2016. Kebetulan aku hanya bisa hadir pada sesi workshop di hari ke-3, Sabtu 8 Oktober 2016. Workshop ini sepenuhnya dikelola oleh IEEE Udayana University Student Branch. Fokus workshop ini pada green technology, smart city, dan IoT. Aku menyampaikan keynote speech dengan judul Internet-of-Everything Architecture for Smart City.

Tentu kegiatan ini ditutup dengan foto bersama dengan latar belakang banner IEEE Day 2016. Tapi logo IEEE Day ada di kiri & kanan panggung. Kebetulan foto yang lengkap dengan logo ini belum aku terima. Yang ada dulu deh ya :). Oh ya, aku pakai batik dengan motif yang dinamai Batik Kuncoro. Periksa di Google deh.

Bandung: IC3INA 2014

IC3INA (International Conference on Computer, Control, Informatics and its Applications) is an annual conference, organised byResearch Center for Informatics, Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI). Since 2013, the IEEE Indonesia Section co-organised this conference as technical sponsor. This year, IC3INA was conducted in Bandung, October 21st-23rd.

I attended this conference as one of Scientific Committee member, and as the chair of the IEEE Indonesia Section. Last year (2013), they made me the moderator of all keynote speech session on opening day. But this year (2014), they only wanted me to present a 5 minutes speech as an IEEE representative.

Here’s what I read:

Assalaamu’alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakaatuh.

Distinguished Ladies & Gentlemen,

It’s always enchanting to be around the community of scientist, researchers, academicians, and technology professionals. Representing the IEEE, and especially the IEEE Indonesia Section, I would like to express our gratitude to be involved for this distinguished event, the IC3INA 2014 in Bandung, Indonesia, organised by LIPI.

We have known that the IEEE was established more than 125 years ago. This organisation is a home for scientists and engineers from the industrial world and academic domain to synergise their idea, and to collaborate their efforts to understand more about the nature and to engineer it toward a better life. In Indonesia, the Section was established only 26 years ago, and is now actively fostering the academic and professional engineering activities in Indonesia with its 10 chapters representing 15 different fields, and 7 student branches. It is a place for the engineering ecosystem to work in partnership and collaboration to enhance the dynamics and quality of our researches, our academic and professional works, for our mission to advance the technology for humanity.

The second decade of the 21st century has been witnessing new paradigms for the Information Technology. The Internet, which has previously revolutionized the communication and interaction among people, has started its next evolution to be the Internet-of-Things (IOT), with the ability to connect any digital entity or virtually anything to the network of information and knowledge. Information processing does not stop with just doing computation over data input, but would also enrich the information with aggregation of various supporting knowledge, with context-awareness. Big data technology allows the aggregation of large amounts of information from various sources intelligently to obtain results that are sometimes unpredictable.

But the challenge is to develop and to implement those new computing paradigms in real applications to enhance the value of human life. While we carry out researches on Big Data, we keep in mind that this is one of the key technologies to improve the quality of life. We expect better understanding to the universe and human, better education approach, personalised health care, smart city integrated with ubiquitous sensing networks, smart businesses that understand their customers in person, better approach for environment conservation, and others. The interesting thing about Big Data is the necessity on its implementation to maximize the role of the ecosystem, to involve all stakeholders in designing a disruptive lifestyle with this technology.

So let’s have some discussions, and warm networkings. All the best for you; all the best for the profession. Thank you.
