Keynote 1
Prof. Dr. M. Sohel Rahman
Professor, CSE, BUET, Bangladesh
ACM Distinguished Speaker
Explore how metaheuristic optimisation tackles hard problems across science, engineering, planning, and logistics. The talk introduces the techniques and shows how they can help researchers and practitioners choose better solutions in many different domains.
Keynote 2
Professor James Harland
Director, STEM Hub for Digital Innovation; Professor in Computational Logic
RMIT University, Australia
Discover how mixed reality, robotics, virtual laboratories, and intelligent assessment can transform STEM education. Drawing on RMIT's digital innovation projects, the talk explores immersive and collaborative learning experiences and their potential impact on society.
Keynote 3
Assoc. Prof. Ir. Ts. Dr. Mohd Zamri Ibrahim
Associate Professor, Electrical & Electronics Engineering Technology
Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah, Malaysia
Learn how computer vision turns roadside cameras into intelligent traffic analysis systems, and how Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything communication connects vehicles and infrastructure. The talk examines practical deployment, interoperability, robustness, and privacy challenges.
Keynote 4
Professor Dr. Edmund Ng Giap Weng
Professor, Faculty of Computing and Informatics
Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Malaysia
Reimagine the newspaper as a platform for lifelong learning. A Read–Learn–Think–Test–Certify framework connects current affairs with AI-supported inquiry, critical thinking, family learning, and micro-certification through a human-centred approach.
Keynote 5
Professor Mohamed Abdel-Maguid
Pro Vice-Chancellor; Professor of Smart Systems
Canterbury Christ Church University, UK
As AI moves from generating answers to taking action, who holds decision authority? This talk examines judgement leakage and a practical framework for maintaining human agency, professional judgement, and clear accountability in increasingly autonomous systems.
Keynote 6
Dr Dababrata Chowdhury
Associate Professor in Entrepreneurship and Knowledge Management
Ravensbourne University London, UK
Examine the social, ethical, economic, and environmental costs of rapid technological growth, from privacy and labour displacement to misinformation and e-waste. The talk considers how responsible innovation can support human wellbeing and sustainable development.
