Abstract

It is an honour for Universitas PGRI Semarang (UPGRIS-Indonesia) to be the host of the 7th International Conference on DV-Xα Method: The Advances-Related Experiments andTheories on Material Science (ICDM 2019). We are pleased to have cooperation with DVXα Society to hold this international event. As we know, the previous conferences related to this topic had been conducted six times: once in Hungary, three times in South Korea, two times in Japan and supported by some institutions as the hosts: The Institute of Nuclear Research of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (ATOMKI-Hungary), Seoul National University (South Korea), Kunsan National University (South Korea), National Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN-Japan), Korean Basic Science Institute (KBSISouth Korea), and University of Hyogo (Japan).ICDM 2019 was an international event aimed at presenting contemporary research and accommodating discussion for scientists, scholars, engineers, students, research institutes, and industries in the field of advanced materials, science and information technology. It was successfully held on 2 - 4 September 2019 in Semarang, Indonesia. This event was organized by Universitas PGRI Semarang (UPGRIS - Indonesia) in cooperation with DVXa Society (Japan), Kwansei Gakuin University (Japan), Kobe University (Japan), Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Semarang (Indonesia), Universitas PGRI Madiun (Indonesia) and under the coordination of Centre of Science and Technology UPGRIS (Indonesia).ICDM 2019 was attended by 110 participants, and a total of 60 papers were presented and discussed. The papers were authored by 30 students and 34 lecturers. Categories of presentation sessions were divided into two sessions; lecture and poster sessions. There were 4 keynote speakers, 18 invited speakers, 20 general speakers who delivered the talks in lecture sessions and 18 poster presenters. Conference presenters were from various countries, 1 presenter from the United States, 1 presenter from Thailand, 1 presenter from South Korea, 1 presenter from Estonia, 25 presenters from Japan, 1 presenter from Ukraine and 30 presenters from Indonesia.We are proud and grateful for the interest you expressed in the discussion of this theme. It provoked discussion among participants over the best ways to implement DV-Xα Method in advances experiments on material sciences. Throughout the process, hopefully we could contribute answers or alternative solutions for the demand of the progressing industry in regards to advanced materials to support the development of many countries.
