PREFACE
The total number of publications for the same period stood at 457 from across AIT. Reinforcing AIT’s continued commitment to enhancing the quality of its research. This clearly indicates the strength of its research output and the clear alignment of the institutions research activities in the thematic areas of focus towards its strategic priority of playing the leading role in the region’s sustainable development.
The year saw AIT being successful in achieving its objective of consolidating the institute’s research efforts and broadening of its networks and partnerships. This provided the platform to discuss and launch shared initiatives and pool resources to effectively address the rapidly changing needs of the region.
AIT research has maintained being the important value addition to its diverse academic offerings. This has helped the students to be more actively involved and The Asian Institute of Technology is pleased to release obtain the much needed exposure to help broaden their the Report on Annual Research 2013 which provides a horizons of knowledge. consolidated overview of the research activities conducted across the institute during the year.
We look forward to create a distinct profile for Asian
Institute of Technology in the niche areas of our strength The year witnesses a renewed vigor despite the within the research agenda. And to conclude, I would like adversities and challenges to ensure the continuity of the take this opportunity to thank all AIT faculty, staff, and research and development agenda through the whole- students for their whole hearted efforts in achieving our hearted commitment of its faculty and staff towards collective goals. achieving the project objectives and activities.
Overall, during the period January to December 2013, a Professor Kanchana Kanchanasut total of 495 sponsored and contracted projects including Vice President for Research capacity building activities with a total budgeted value of 1.9 billion THB were conducted by the faculty and staff from within the Fields of Study (FoS) of the three schools; School of Engineering and Technology (SET), School of Environment, Resources and Development (SERD), and School of Management (SOM), as well as at AIT Extension, Internet Education and Research Laboratory (IntERLab) and Institute-wide projects.
Annual Report on Research 2013 | i
While the number of research projects and related funding has nearly doubled, based on year 2005, in the last two years this has leveled off. The reasons for this include smaller number of research faculty and staff, closing down of some major long term projects, needs to win projects in competition, changing demands and mode of operation of funding agencies, etc. This strengthens our belief to form larger interdisciplinary teams and need for partnerships. This is a challenge which all sectors of
AIT are facing up to and will most certainly overcome.
We take this opportunity to thank all faculties, staff, students and indeed all stake holders who made it possible for us to bring financial stability to the institute. With the institute on the verge of becoming formally and international-intergovernmental organization and a number of initiatives being planned, it is hoped the institute will be able to sustain itself into the next 50 years. We look forward to increased collaboration and partnership to expand the knowledge base we have created and improve the quality of life of those who those most need it.

7.1 Introduction Asia-Pacific, Europe and the US have VClass open source consortium indicated their interests in forming up a Continual expansion of the Internet is network of support for the intERLab VClass trainings for AIT faculty and staff creating greater demand for well-trained research, training and education. The human resources to support the main idea is to work together with VClass hosting service and technical infrastructures and applications of the partners on training and workshops in support Internet. New computer science and order to produce network engineers for engineering solutions are needed to the stable deployment of the Internet. It ASEAN Virtual Institute of Science and simply handle the exponential growth in was also encouraged that the intERLab Technology (AVIST) hosting the traffic and bandwidth usage which is develops its own expertise by doing its putting severe strain on the Internet own research and eventually become Custom courseware development; today. There is urgent need for a new one of the leading Internet research breed of engineers and technologists to centers in the region.
