::: Keynote Speech & Speakers
  • Keynote Speech 1: Intelligent System-Intelligent Agent
    by Mr. Sandeep Kumar, Group Leader Mfg & SCM Group (Infosys Technologies Ltd)

    The committee of Visionary Manufacturing Challenges for 2020 has identified intelligent agent as one of the key enabling technologies that will help in modeling and decision support systems. Increasingly, traditional centralized and sequential manufacturing planning, scheduling, and control mechanisms are being found insufficiently flexible, limit the expandability and reconfiguration capabilities of the manufacturing systems and may also result in much of the system being shut down by a single point of failure, as well as plan fragility and increased response overheads. Agent technology provides a natural way to overcome such problems, and to design and implement distributed intelligent manufacturing environments. This topic shall discuss some key issues in developing agent-based manufacturing systems and highlight on related projects such as manufacturing enterprise integration and supply chain management, agent encapsulation, dynamic system reconfiguration, learning, design and manufacturability assessments, distributed dynamic scheduling, integration of planning and scheduling, concurrent scheduling and execution, factory control structures, potential tools and standards for developing agent-based manufacturing systems.
  • Keynote Speech 2: Real Time Analytics
    by Mr. Venkat KD, Vice President of BIKD Circle (Satyam Computer Services Ltd.)
     
  • Keynote Speech 3: Formal Method for Industrial Critical System
    by Assoc. Prof. Dr Rosziati Ibrahim, Deputy Director (Research), Research Management & Innovation Center (Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia)


    This topic shall discuss the urgency of critical elements such as accuracy, reliability and fault-tolerance in developing a critical software system. It shall propose the usage of lightweight formal methods – to get moderate cost, schedule, customer involvement and acceptance - in getting the requirements right. The approach shall improve the software quality in safety-critical systems by eliminating manual steps in the development process, because people make mistakes, and these mistakes are the most common cause of potential life-threatening errors.
     
  • Keynote Speech 4: Real-Time Database System
    by Mr. Leong Kok Keong, Senior Sales Consultant (Oracle Corporation Malaysia Sdn Bhd)

    A stock market changes very rapidly and is dynamic. The graphs of the different markets appear to be very unstable and yet a database has to keep track of current values for all of the markets of the New York Stock Exchange. Real-time processing means that a transaction is processed fast enough for the result to come back and be acted on right away. Real-time databases are useful for accounting, banking, law, medical records, multimedia, process control, reservation systems, and scientific data analysis. This topic shall highlight the usage of tools in real-time database by practitioner in commercial applications.
