The 14th monthly seminar was held on 30 November 2022 online with 18 real-time participants from the AI³ /SOI Asia community.
The main topic of this seminar was “Community based research (CBR)”, a scheme for promoting multi stakeholder collaborative research and inclusive support. A CBR project group formed by teams from member universities will collaborate and engage on an agreed upon research topic.
Three projects in the field of IoT (Internet of things), Transport Layer Security (TLS), and Dynamic Networks were featured and confirmed the next steps in the perspectives of logistics and research.
The 13th monthly seminar was held on 26 October 2022 online with 22 real-time participants from the AI³ /SOI Asia community.
This time, the seminar welcomed Praveen Tammana and Harish S A from Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad (IITH), India shared about the research: Software-Defined Networks and P4 for IoT security, which is currently conducting in collaboration with Chong Yung Wey(USM), Achmad Basuki(UB), and Kotaro Kataoka(IITH).
This discussion aims to define the best use to maximize benefits for all connected counterparts, education institutions, including universities. Because Government law, regulation, policy, condition, restriction, or specific requirement, or need much differ from each partner institution, this issue should be considered carefully. For the first step, it is decided to discuss this further at the next Joint meeting in Manila (November 15- 17, 2022).
The 11th monthly seminar was held on 24 August 2022 online with 15 real-time participants from the AI³ /SOI Asia community.
In the first part, 3 interns presented the final output to participants as follows.
SARENA-PAC (Satellite and Aero Research and Education Network in the Asia Pacific) Project: ・”Develop an IoT application use case for Image-based fire and smoke detection with edge Machine Learning using the Research Data Platform” by Shafak Shahriar Sozol (Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology) ・”Network-based IDS for botnet detection using machine learning” by Arkan Kabla (Universiti Sains Malaysia)
AI³ /SOI Asia Platform Project: ・Platform: INXIGNIA Improvement by Gabrielle Evan Farrel (Universitas Brawijaya)
After their presentation, the 2nd badge AI³ /SOI Asia internship graduation ceremony was held, and students were awarded with certificates. Participants committed to continuing their research and further collaboration with the project.
The 10th monthly seminar was held on 27 July 2022 online with 19 real-time participants from the AI³ /SOI Asia community.
In the first session, participants discussed the survey about the learning/teaching situation during the pandemic of COVID-19. For the next step this survey will be localized in members’ area and distributed to the students, staff and faculties. This survey will be localized in the members’ area for the next step and distributed to the students, staff, and faculties. The result will be able to find how the education system and method in Asia have been changing, also the direction towards the education future.
In the second part, three interns shared their first update session at the monthly seminar. Each intern reported the research and work progress as well as their research plan.

The ninth monthly seminar was held on 29 June 2022 online with 25 real-time participants from the AI³ /SOI Asia community.
EBA Project sharing session (Presentation) was conducted by participants of 2 EBA Fieldwork programs. In the first EBA Virtual Fieldwork, four participants from Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), Indonesia, shared the positive, creative, and fun outcomes with the audience. Since this was the first time conducting the online Fieldwork program, participants shared their thoughts, comments, or challenges on joining this. Facilitators shared tips on the creation and conduction of it.
Then, the first Onsite pilot fieldwork (called EBA Diversity Fieldwork), participants shared the program summary, data collection method, and results. Since this was focused on collaboration with different backgrounds, and positions, such as students, staff, and a field master, they shared their experiences and the difference with the regular class.
In the second part, three interns shared their first update session at the monthly seminar. Each intern reported the research and work progress as well as their research plan. Faculties and staff of AI3/SOI Asia were looking forward to their continued working with members towards their goals and the final presentation on the 11th Monthly seminar on 24 August 2022.

The eighth monthly seminar was held on 25 May 2022 online with 24 real-time participants from the AI³ /SOI Asia community.
In the beginning, Alifya Febriana (USK) shared her research that “USK-Coffee Dataset: A Multi-Class Green Arabica Coffee Bean Dataset for Deep Learning”. This research presentation led to the realization that coffee beans are produced in many places in the member countries, and each university has been conducting similar research on the use of ICT to improve the quality and quantity of the crops. The discussion continued about how we should utilize (share) approach methods, technology, or data in different fields with members for better collaboration.
This time new researchers and lecturers from UB were joined, which triggered members to share opinions on how this community gets younger generations involved. The new participants pointed out that building AI3/SOI Asia knowledge and database would be beneficial for them, and that would stimulate the research among the community, from the next generation’s perspective.
The seventh monthly seminar was held on 27 April 2022 online with 18 real-time participants from the AI³ /SOI Asia community.
In the first part of the session, update the scheme of the AI3 /SOI Asia Community Based Research (CBR) was shared by Achmad Husni Thamrin.
Then, AI³/SOI Asia called for 2 online internship programs and Teaching Assistants (TAs) for promoting multi-stakeholder collaborative research and inclusive support in the community.
After the info session, the smooth pathway and strategy including involving young researchers and students were discussed in order to create a collaborative and sustainable research team for CBR with AI³/SOI Asia and member institutions’.
