Preface

Abstract

It is our great honor and pleasure to introduce the Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Informatics, Engineering, Science, and Technology (INCITEST 2020). The event is valuable and meaningful since it brings together scientists, engineers, researchers, practitioners, students, and civil society organization representatives to nurture research networks between universities and industries. With its main theme on “Humanized Technology, the Digital Journey to Win Competition”, this event is expected to serve as a platform of gathering for anyone interested in exploring potential solutions and answering issues and challenges to enter the 5.0 society. Amid the worldwide spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and the uncertainty surrounding the end of this pandemic, there are several issues we should describe as follows:1. Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) as the organizer of INCITEST 2020 will hold the conference on 11th June 2020 in an online or virtual format. The organizing committee will manage the conference from our campus which is located in Bandung, West Java Province, Indonesia.2. In this correlation, we should adhere to the regulation of the government of West Java Province and the government of the Republic of Indonesia which currently is implementing Large-Scale Social Restrictions to reduce the risk of virus transmission. Therefore, the online conference is considered the best way we can do to serve our participants concerning the fact that people safety is second to none. In this condition, there is no specific date deemed safe to which we could postpone the conference until either worldwide travel or crowd-gathering is safe again. We have all put so much effort in preparing the papers, organizing the event, as well as conducting the review process, working on the program, and everything surrounding it that we feel very motivated to pull this through3. The conference is divided into two sessions: plenary and parallel sessions. In the plenary session, we will use zoom as the media. Besides, to assure the dissemination of the conference to all participants, we will also broadcast the plenary session live using Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) connected to YouTube live streaming and IG TV. Moreover, we will use live chat on YouTube and Google forms for the discussion session.4. The plenary session will be chaired by one moderator who will not only be critically summarizing the keynote presentations but also handling participants’ enthusiasm in asking any possible questions. In doing so, the participants will be following the conference at their respective personal corners through YouTube live streaming and IG TV.5. The plenary session will be presented by our keynote speakers in online format (via Zoom) from each country such as Prof. Abdulkareem from Malaysia, Prof. Yuto Lim from Japan, and Irfan Dwi Sumitra, Ph.D. from Indonesia. Each keynote has 45 minutes duration including the discussion session.6. Following the success of INCITEST 2018 and 2019, the enthusiastic responses to the call-for-papers in the third INCITEST were increasing. More than 450 papers were submitted to the organizing committee from both local and foreign participants. A peer-review process has been conducted to all the articles based on their originality and quality, resulting in 347 accepted papers to be presented.7. Of 347 accepted papers, 216 of them will be presented via Zoom in the duration of 10 minutes for each paper. Additionally, 129 papers will be displayed in the poster session (the link of the posters will be available on the INCITEST website).8. The parallel session will be divided into 10 classes; each class will be participated by around 21 to 22 presenters. A parallel session chair will manage the presentation time and discussion session in each class. Each presenter should present their paper within 5 minutes via Zoom. 5 minutes after the presentation will be given to each of them for the discussion session.We hope that with the above arrangement, we can serve our participants in the best way we could. The conference’s success is also due to the hard work of all involved parties. Therefore, the organizing committee would like to express appreciation to all supporters, sponsors, and participants for a great contribution to the conference’s success. Many thanks go as well to all of the reviewers who helped us maintain the quality of manuscripts included in the Proceedings published by IOP. We also express our sincere thanks to the members of the organizing team for their hard work.Finally, our continuing success of this conference series can be one of indicator that we have through our right pathway to realign technology with the best interests of humanity. We hope this first time experience of the online conference in the 3rd INCITEST will bring fruitful outcomes as well as give the participants great experience in an online conference.Thank youBest Regards,Dr. Poni Sukaesih Kurniati, S.IP, M.Si.The Chief of the Conference
