Abstract

The International Conference on Applied Sciences Mathematics and Informatics (ICASMI) is a biennial event hosted by University of Lampung that brings together academics, scholars and researchers from around the world to meet and exchange the latest ideas, networking, opening collaboration research and discuss issues concerning all fields of sciences, mathematics, informatics and their application. It also allows representatives of industry, government employers and postgraduate students to have an opportunity to discuss with experts on some issues they concern. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this time the conference was held virtually.This conference was held from 3rd to 4th of September 2020, in the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Lampung, Bandar Lampung, Indonesia. Zoom Meeting was utilized as a means of the conference. Each keynote speaker was given 30-minutes for his/her presentation with 15 minutes discussion, while for the oral presentation was held in a parallel session of three or four speakers where each participant was given 10 minutes for presentation and 15 minutes for panel discussion. The participants came from across several institutions and universities from 4 countries. Our initial target participants were 150, fortunately, on the closing date of registration, there were 178 participants who registered from 5 main fields of natural sciences. The main drawback of such virtual conference was the internet connection. A few numbers of speakers had this problem, so they were unable to give their best presentation, however, this drawback did not affect much the quality of this conference.The theme of this year’s conference is “Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Informatics in the Industrial Revolution (IR) 4.0 toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).” The conference will provide researchers and scientists from mathematics and computer science, researchers from various application areas such as physics, chemistry, life sciences, and engineering, as well as in education and social fields, to discuss problems and solutions in the area, to identify new issues, and to shape future directions for research.We would like to acknowledge all of those who have supported the 3rd ICASMI. Each individual and institutional help were very important for the success of this conference. We would like to thank the keynote speakers who are competent in their field of study and come from different countries, such as, Japan, Malaysia, Turkey and Indonesia, and the organizing committee for their valuable advice in the organization and helpful peer review of the papers.We hope that this conference would be a forum for excellent discussions that put forward new ideas and promote collaborative research. We are sure that the IOP proceedings publication will serve as an important research source of references and the knowledge, which will lead to not only scientific and engineering progress but also other new products and processes.Chair,Prof. Dr. Rudy Situmeang
