nformation and Communications Technology (ICT) has brovght about the revolution that has transformed commodities, people and their relat!ons. In Sarawak alone, we have mode an J enormous progress in the arena of ICT awareness, knowledge and skill. No daub!. there is still a wide spectrum of kno'N1edge that can be created in the field. In fact, every developing country is challenged to keep abreast with the emerging technologies in this rapidly changing world and to explore and exploit ICT' s full potential.
This year marks the International Conference 01 Information Technology in Asia, its tenth year anniversary. I congratulate the Universiti Malaysia Sorawak for successfully organized the conference to its 6th run since 1999. The choice of the conference theme of "Towards Human·Centred Computing" is appmpriote since this will give some insights into the understanding of how people and technology synergise in a cooperative partnership to enhance human potential. This conference has always been on important platform for knowledge shoring in different domains ollCT for development and tacmtates multi-stakeholder portnership development and professional networking among governments, industry, academia and civil society organisations of Asian countries. It is heartening 10 note that researchers from Ihe Saudi Arabia, Egypt. Indio. Nigerio. Australia, Bangladesh. Ubya, Brunei, Poldston, New Zealand, England and Laos are taking this excellent opportunity to come togeth6f 10 interact with a wide and diverse development community, to cony forward the vision of the regIon and consolidate them into an actionable programme. I would like to congratulate UNIMAS for once again organIzed such an Important event and I encourage the university 10 k.eep il up.

is conference marks an important milestone fOf the Conference on IT in Asia: it is the sixth conference thai we hove held, and more significantty, ten years hove y:elopsed since Ihe first conference in 1999. Over Ihe lost decade, one of the trends witnessed has been the shiH from a technology centric focus on Information and Communication Technology, to a more human-centric focus, While technology plays an important role. it is ultimately the people who decide whether a tool or technology is usoble, This human·centred focus, encompassed in C!lA's theme "Human·Centred Computing". retlech the need to study and understond how people use teChnology (be ii individually or collaborotively) . With this kf"lowledge. technologies that can then be better developed to accommodate and enhance the users' skills and capabiliTies, with the end goal at improving performance and improving livelihood of societies. It is wilh Ihis goal that CITA'09 brings together researchm and practitioners from both academia and industry. from various areas of science and technology. and humonities, to shore and defiberote on the issues of humon--centred computing. In continuing with the CITA tradition. we have kept the conference small while maintaining a high quality proceedings. From a total of 138 fv ll papers submitted this year, 23 full papers and 29 short papers were selected by the International Programme Committee, I wovld like to thank the panel of reviewers. and the Programme Committee to( a job well done. In addition to the conference. we have held four workshops on the 6th July 2009. These worXshops are: Analysing Maloy Texts with Corpus Processing Tools, Option Pricing: An Innovative Eco~ogist Approach.

What everybody forgets is that thai specialized knowledge builds on a bose of Commonsense knowledge - simple, shared knowledge about everyday life activities. A database might represent on airline flight with a irline nome, flight number, origin and destination time and place, elc. Bul no database represents the foc t thol if you traveling less than a kilometer, you can wolle if you are traveling thousands of kilometers. you probably need to fly. Why bother 10 represent this obvious knowledge explicitly, since everybody knows these things already? Because computers don't. If we would like to have computers be helpful to people, avoid stupid mistakes, and make reasonable default guesses aboul whal people might wont. they hove to hove Commonsense i 17 Keynote 2 Unforeseen Effects of the WWW Prof. Hermann Maurer Institute for Information Systems and Computer Media (1IeM) Graz Universify of Technology Groz.. Austria [email protected] The Web has caused a revolution of how we can access information today, how we easily get answers to many problems, and how we learn. However, there are three issues that are often overlooked. First. it is not easy to extrapolate current developments into the future: we will be in for many more surprises than we think. Second, as fast as the Web has developed, other technologies have developed still faster and their impact on society may be just as significant. Third, one must not overlook that the Web also has some inherent dangers that are more and more emerging. With all enthusiasm we have for the Web we should also be aware of some of the subtle and some of the not so subtle dangers. In this paper I will address the first two issues in the introduction, and devote the rest of the paper to some of the perceived dangers of the Web. One example is the lass of privacy (due to many organisations collecting detailed profiles on all of us, but also on organisations, economic developments and other issues), some of the loss of privacy also due to an unheard of exhibitionism in social networks. Also, information on the Web is often trusted much too easily, leading to a distorted view of reality. Many of the communication toots lead to a loss of concentration and understanding, the latter enhanced by the dangerous COpy-paste syndrome. As Tara Brabazon has slaled: "Researching is replaced by searching". Also, il is often overlooked that Ihe convergence of mobile phones with powerful pes will give us excellent personal assistants, but will olso obviale the need 10 learn many things humans have had to learn for generations. Thus it seems thaI we have to completely re-think education and e-leaming: While myriads of attempts are made HOW 10 improve teaching with technology, the main issues may rather be WHAT and WHEN we teach, since so much (will be or) is available everywhere at our fingertips. Finalty, can we really trust technology, or could it fail us 01 some stage on a gigantic scale? 18 INVITED SPEAKERS Speaker' Workflow, and AutomaHon in Next GeneraHon locall,aHon Reinhard Sc haler Founder and Director of the Localisation Research Centre University of Umeric/c., Ireland Reinhard.Scho/[email protected] Access to information is a fundamental requirement for the realisation of the digital information society. Translation and cultural adaptation as well as the availability of services required to coordinate these activities are necessary pre-requisites to guarantee equal access to information 10 people independent of their linguistic or cultural background. Today, localisation faces a number of key challenges. the most important ones being those triggered off by the increased volume of digital content coming on stream. Current approaches to localisation cannot adequately respond to these challenges and are no longer viable. The Centre for Next Generation localisation (CNGl) is a partnership of four Irish universities and nine industrial partners co-funded by the Irish Government's Science Found ation aiming to develop the next generation localisation factory, incorporating sophisticated integrated language technologies. digital content mana gement technologies, and automated workflows based on shared and interoperable standards and dolo layers. While current localisation automation platforms have been successfuUy deployed by large multinational corporations, they present a number of disadvantages limiting their ability to efficiently deal with the exponential growth in localisation in a flexible manner. They are generally proprietary and limited in their scope: they have limited and slow configuration capabilities: they implement closed standcrds and lack. interoperability: they are operating in a silo, often implemented as an afterthought. We will report on the work of the "Next Generation Localisation" research group of the CNGL thai is designing new and innovative automated localisation workflows based on distribuled and component based services with access to "localisation knowledge" as a backbone and connected via open standard-based service descriptors. It is anticipated that this novel and ogi~e approach will worle especially well for small- and medium-sized enterprises and in less-controlled crowd-sourced and collaborative scenarios. 19 Speaker 2 Bridging the Knowledge Divide Lori Thicke Co-founder of Translators Withouf Borders Co·founder and General Manager of Lexcelera, France LORI@/exceiera.com Four·finhs of the people on this planet. those who live in the poorest countries, have little or no access to the basic medicol. nutritional. educational. scientific and technical kno\oVledge they need to live healthy and productive lives. New technologies can and must provide the solution for making access 10 knowledge more democratic. Greater access to knowledge is needed to: . Reduce poverty. "Access to Information and knowledge is the most critical factor In breaking the cycle of poverty in Southeast Asia" Asian Development Bank - Save lives. WThe knowledge exists to save 80% of the children who die each year in Africa, It Just isn 't available when and where tt Is needed. " James Grant, former Executive Director of UNICEF - Fight hunger. "When women farmers have access to knowledge and technology, crop yields increase significantly." The International Fund for Agricuttural Devetopment (IFAD) - Empower people ond allow them to make informed decisions. "The Informatfon gap Is very real and clearly whatever we can do to close it must be encouraged. Any Inl"ollve thot can leapfrog over tradlHonal means 01 getting informaHon to people must be encouraged. InfOfmoHon Is power ond It supports democracy and It supports declslon.making." Trevor Manuel. former Finance Minister, South Ahica. f informotion is power. the fact that the vast majority of ali websites are in English shows where the power is being c onsolidated. By and large, the many. ancient. riCh, and sophisticated cultures of the world 'en"cf n amost invisible on the Web today. "Most qucntifiable useable knowledge today is domiciled In the English language ... the capability of AJric aRS a Clccess useable knowledge worldwide Is terribly curtailed. Kale Omotosa. New African, Jul 2004 20 Unequal access to knowledge is widening the gap between the richer and poorer countries of the world. The huge disparities we see in standards of living from one country to another are relatively new, caused by the concentration of the fruits of the Industrial Revolution in just a few parts of the world. Much of Africa and Asia ore now missing out on the Information Revolution. jusl as the Industrial Revolution passed Ihem by 250 years ago. Today, the application of new leTs give us the possibility of sharing the fruits of the information revolution. Translators without Borders has been working to bridge the knolN\edge gap since 1993 by providing free translations to humanitarian organizations. Recently TWB joined forces with a consortium of Irish universities and research institutions to develop a wor1dwide crowd-sourced translation plaHorm linking humanitarian organizations such as Doctors without Borders with volunteer translotors. supported by leveraging technologies such as TM {translation memory) and MT (machine translation). This platform will level Ihe playing field tor translators working in developing-world languages by making translation technologies freely available, which in turn will make large-scale access to lcno'WIedge in local languages feasible. TWB is engaged in providing linguistic access, but the new leTs have a major role to play in increasing physical access to knowledge via projects such as developing wi-fi infrastructure in emerging economies, building cheaper laptops and even enabling cellphones to function as e-book readers. We are currently seeing a perfect storm of a wealth of open source digital content. translation leveraging tools and emerging technologies for d is tribution and delivery, all of which could come together to put knowledge in the hands of the people who need it. wherever in the wol1d they are. 21 Speaker 3 Developments of e·Govemment In Sarawak William Patrick Nyigor Stole ICT Unit Sorowok Chief Minister's Department, Malaysia /[email protected] The vision of Sarawak's e-Government (EG) initiative, "Sarawok government service, anytime, anywhere", was formulated by the State Secretory in 1995. and it has guided the State's teT program since then. Issues. both internal and external. shape the focus, approach and development 01 the state EG initiative. The definition, framing and scope of EG in Sarowak. are continually evolving while the vision remains. The Slale's EG initiative underwent tw'o major phases of development since the 1990s. The first phase is the e-Administration program where the focus is the improvement of the government's internal business processes, both the intra-agency processes (internal efficiency and effectiveness - lEE) and the inler agency processes (G2G). This forms the foundation for the second phase, the delivery of online service IG2C) through the web. The ontine service delivery program consists of many sub-phases. Similar to other initiatives elsewhere, online "services" start with information publishing that moved on to transactionat services. Receptivity and usage of online services are affecfed by many factors outside of the state's ICT initiatives. These include socia-economic development. digital penetration rate, literacy rate, social norms. business, physical, technological and other support infrastructures, as well as public ICT literacy rate. The EG initiative also has to recognize and mitigate the [negative) SOCia-economic impact of providing online services through the web in a vast. geographicolty-challenging and diverse state like Sarowak.. The state has hod to look at parallel c hannels, hyblid channels, and other on~ne deRvery channels in its EG initiative. Recognizing the pervasive usage of mobile telephony, the state is now finalizing a plan for mobile government to augment the web channe! in the third phase of the state EG initiative. The mobile government program is a way to mitigate the impact of the digital divide on online government services. given the very high adoption rate of mobile telephones compared 10 the Internet. The state mobile government has two parts; mobile computing for the internal government processes (m-G2GJ, and mobile services for the public (m-G2CJ. Even though the EG initiative is described as consisting of different phases, these phases do not have a defined ending. There are still a lot of plans and work yet to implement in the different phases even while the sta te is embarking on mobile government. Individual business processes are analysed separately, and some may undergo the full metamorphosis from manual to mobile forms, while others may not. 22 Speaker 4 Educoflon Roodmop for New Mobile Technology Training Prof. Jung Kwong-Waok Presiden t of Mon & Tef and Professor 01 KUMI College, Koreo. kwjung@/cumi.oc.kr New technologies ore being developed constantly and daily lives is changing in pursuit of convenience being offered by these advancements. The break-neck. speed of mobile technology. predicted to lake on the main role in ubiquitous system in near future, is 50 remarkable that it is creating a technological revolution. Opinions ore that this is probably due to the inlensirted and vigorous research and advancement in creating better mobile convenience thaI is the craving of the mainstream public in this fast-paced and border1ess world. Buzz words from the hottest technologies often heard today are, for example. Ubiquitous, RFID, USN, UWB, and Bluetooth. Ubiquitous technologies include Home network. system and Sensor network. system, RFID techndogy. includes middleware and applications such as Shopping system and logistic system. In mobile technology field, Bluetooth. Zigbee. as well as UWB are very useful. In addition, the PAN technology group and Antenna propagation. and RF (Microwave) device, design 8.. manufacturing technologies are also very important. Recently, products developed by converging and adopting multiple technologies, have been gaining more attention by the industry. For example. the convergence of IT and Construction sector, Medical & Health, Automobile, and Shipbuilding industry. These convergent technologies will be summarised in the proposed Roadmap and training plan. Education in universities should keep pace with developments of technologies in industries and with the constant stream of advanced commercial products being introduced into the markel. I sholl present in this paper on how we can establish a proper Education Roadmap for new mobile technology. Additionally, basic theory, experiments and examples of commercial products will be discussed in the process of designing an effective education Roodmap, 23 WORKSHOP Workshop I: Analysing Molay texts with Corpus Proc eSl/ng Tools By Dr. Ronoivo-Molonc;on Bali Given a set of Moloy texts and a set of corpus processing tools, whot kind of know'ledge can be acquired automatically? The purpose of this worbhop is to present the usefulness of corpus processing tools in extracting linguistic and statistical knowledge. This wC>f'kshop is divided into two ports. The ftrSt port will explain the common lools thai con be found in any corpus processing toolkit system. This will be done with CorPlus. the first Malaysian corpus processing toolkit integrating Maloy lext analysis. The second port will show different applications based on the analysis of Malay corpora Workshop 2: Option Pricing - An InnovatIve Ecologist Approach By Prof. Koh Hock Lye The Black Scholes (6S) models for priCing derivatives have become a standard tool for evaluating derivatives. The BS model is essentially a diffusion model that mimics many similar models used extensively in physics and ecology. Hence, insights and experience gained in these drift-diffusion-reaction models used in ecology to simulate ecosystem dynamics and stability are useful in developing innovative approaches and extensions to the classic BS models. DOLPH IN is a set of pricing models used la evaluate asset and derivative prices. This workshop will provide hands-on simulation practice by Windows-based DOLPHIN, drawing insights gained from previous ecosystem simulations and providing newunderstanding and approaches. Workshop J: Towards SemonHc Aware Systems By Prof. Narayanan Kulathuramaiyer and Of. Dayang Nurfatimah Awang lsl(andar Semantic-oware systems refer to emerging applications that mal(es the best use of kno'WIedge available to enhance the quality of services. Current systems tend to make use of largely low-level media features or manipulate syntactic attributes. There is great promise in enhancing Ihe capability of these systems via Ihe assimilation of semantic technologies. This workshop will provide an insight into semantic technologies as a basis for the development of semantic-aware applications. A hands-on session will enable partiCipants to become familiar with available tools and technologies olong with the development of potential solutions to real life problems. The topics covered in this workshop are: • Overview of Semantic Technologies • Introduction to SemantiC-Awareness Applications • Onlologies and Reasoning • Kno'WIedge Acquisition and Management • Intelligent Search, Filtering and Retrieval 24 Workshop 4: Training and Application tor High Technology By Prof. Jung Kwang Wool:: and Prof. Chung Joong Soo This wOfXshop aims to: • introduce new technologies of these days and a trend of fuhxe high technology • explain the trends of IT technology development in Korea • how to commerciaHze these high technologies • explain how we're going to connect high technology to school education • divide technologies into groups and make roadmaps for each group • suggest how to educate each technology group step by step. and application for development of commercial products through honds on practice. attendant of the work: shop can review the training equipments Search for a beUer idea abOut educating students through wor1::shop. 25 ORGANISING COMMITTEE Conference Advisors Pheng Piau Conference Management Toolkit Khoiruddin Ab Hamid Alline Ahmadi Juleihi Committee Narayanan Kulalhuramoiyer Terrin lim Muffimedio Presentation Conference Chairman Committee Sponsorship Committee AlvinW.
