The Fourth International Conference on Combinatorics, Graph Theory, and Network Topology 2020

Abstract

Dafik Editor in Chief of The Fourth International Conference on Combinatorics, Graph Theory, and Network Topology 2020E-mail: d.dafik@unej.ac.idWe gratefully acknowledge the presence of all participants on “The Fourth International Conference on Combinatorics, Graph Theory, and Network Topology (ICCGANT)”. It is the 4th International conference of the CGANT Research Group to be held on 22-23 August 2020 by the University of Jember in collaboration with the Indonesian Combinatorics Society (INACOMBS). The conference welcome participants from several countries, with a wide and varied variety of mathematics research interests, in particular combinatorial research. It has been an annual international conference where members of society organizations, research students, educators and researchers, writers, physicists, teachers and practitioners meet and exchange ideas to communicate and discuss theoretical and practical knowledge of mathematical research and its applications. The aim of the fourth conference is to present and discuss the latest research that leads to the exchange of new theoretical, analytical and scientific knowledge and bring it to a deeper understanding of the fields of mathematics, application of mathematics, and mathematics education. The topics of this conference have been displayed on the ic.cgant.unej.ac.id website.The conference was undertaken in dual modes, namely virtual and face-to-face basis, either for the plenary and parallel session. We invited five speakers in the plenary session. They are from Australia, India, and Indonesia. In detail, Prof Adil Baghirov, Ph.D and Dr Joe Ryan are from Australia, Dr. M. Venkatachalam from India, and Prof. Dr. Basuki Widodo, M.Sc., and Prof. Drs. Slamin, M. Comp. Sc, Ph.D are from Indonesia. Due to the travel restriction in the Covid-19 outbreak, the speakers from abroad delivered their slide presentation virtually, as well as the participants who stay far from Jember town joined the conference virtually by using ZOOM cloud meeting. For attaching and submitting the abstract and manuscript of the conference, we use online platform, namely Easychair system. The participants who stay nearby Jember town, they joined the conference in face-to-face basis. We had 58 participants were joining in person. They were placed in two classrooms respected to the medical protocol for Covid 19. Thus, each room of 98 m2 area consisted of 29 participants. The time spent for each speaker was 60 minutes, and Q/A session after plenary session was run within 30 minutes. The total number of participants was 186 people, and the number of submission received by ICCGANT 2020 committee was 147. The number of paper sent to reviewer was 105 papers, and the number of accepted submission papers is 86 papers. Thus the acceptance rate is 58.5%.The participants of ICCGANT 2020 were a bit less than the participant of ICCGANT 2019, since this year’s conference was held coincidentally with the Covid-19 outbreak. However, the pandemic does not stop us to carry out researchers, we have been still hardly working on this job and persistently motivated the participants to finish their papers for publication. Finally, we have successfully selected some papers to be published on IOP Conference Series: Journal of Physics of 86 papers.Furthermore, on behalf of the organizing committee, we thankfully accept the support of this conference from the University of Jember. We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to all the lovely participants who have engaged in this unforgettable and important science forum.Prof. Drs.
