Abstract

We are proud to present the first International Conference on Science, Technology, Engineering and the Industrial Revolution (ICSTEIR 2020), 14-15 November 2020, West Java, Indonesia, conducted entirely online. Initially the conference was planned to take place in Bandung, Indonesia. However, due to the fact that COVID-19 has significantly affected the travels between countries and in many countries total lockdowns have prohibited the organizing of events such as this, it was decided to go on-line. Also, the ICSTEIR conference was planned to be held in November 2020 with a face-to-face presentation. However, due to the uncertain circumstances of the COVID-19, the conference was postponed to February 23-24, 2021, with the video-conferencing presentation.The conference has managed to draw the attention of many researchers from different country, i.e., Malaysia, Nigeria, India, Algeria, China, Ukraine, Czech Republic and Taiwan. In the conference, 103 papers were selected by the Scientific Committee to be presented, after double-blind review from at least two reviewers. All papers were presented on-line on zoom platform in about 10 minutes plus 5 minutes for Q&A, managed by the University of Informatics and Business Indonesia (UNIBI) and Ma’soem University. Furthermore, 3 opening speeches and 6 on plenary speeches interesting topics on Science and engineering. Keynote presentation of research results about 30 minutes and 15 minutes for Q&A. During the plenary session, a streaming process was also carried out via youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79eY3kdyW5Q) so that the Speaker at ICSTEIR 2020 presented all information can be seen by the wider community, especially the Science, Technology, Engineering and the Industrial Revolution. Meanwhile, the Contribution Session was divided into 10 parallel rooms using the Zoom breakout feature, which was attended by 103 presenters.The keynote speakers’ presentations are provided, mainly to show the contribution of Science, Technology, Engineering and the Industrial Revolution towards research and knowledge sharing. We have four keynote speakers coming from the Czestochowa University of Technology, Poland, Prof. Sebastian Kot, PhD Eng.; Vel Tech University, India, Prof. Dr. Sundarapandian Vaidyanathan; Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UnisZa) Malaysia, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Abdul Aziz Abdullah; Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, Malaysia, Assoc. Professor Dr. Suriyani Muhamad.The conference brings up issues that inspire thought about the most relevant subjects in science, technology and engineering. With the theme “Post-COVID Community Development: A Holistic Approach in Collaboration in Science, Engineering and Technology,” Participants from several countries have joined us to add to the conditions for open learning at the Conference. We have received high quality paper submissions and non-presentation participant registrations. Join us; we can’t wait to meet you at the event!The 1st ICSTEIR 2020 is held in collaboration between the University of Informatics and Business Indonesia (UNIBI), Ma’soem University, and the Science, Technology, and Engineering International Community (STEIC).
