Program

August 26, 2025.

10：00～10：30　Opening remarks　by the supporting public sectors

Ambassador of Malaysia

MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) and/or JSA (Japan Science & Technology Agency)

METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry)

10：30～10：50　keynote and welcome speeches

Dr. Kenji Kajiwara, director of IMI, Kyushu university

Dr. Arifah Binti Bahar, director of UTM-CIAM, UTM

10：50～11：50　Contributed talk by the industrial sectors

Dr. Haifeng Chen　Department Head, NEC Laboratories America (online)　

Title : AI-Driven Multi-Agent Simulation for Accurate Carbon Emissions Modeling and Optimization

Abstract：The talk presents the development of a multi-agent simulator designed to model carbon emissions and support global sustainability efforts. The simulator includes three core components: agents, resources, and topology. Advanced AI techniques are also incorporated to enhance the simulator’s capabilities, including a multi-modal time series prediction method for accurate energy cost forecasting and a swarm optimization algorithm to identify optimal strategies for achieving carbon neutrality. By integrating AI and simulation, organizations can model carbon emission processes, conduct “what-if” analyses, and develop actionable strategies to reduce emissions and accelerate progress toward carbon neutrality goals.

Dr. Nurul Farahai　INSULET (online)　

TBD

11：50～13：30　Lunch break

13：30～14：30　Invited talks

Dr. Hideaki Yokomizo　WILLER, Inc.　

 Title : Solving urban traffic issues in Malaysia by AI-based Demand Responsive Transit

Abstract：Urban transportation in Malaysia is overly reliant on private vehicles, resulting in traffic congestion, traffic accidents, and environmental issues. WILLER group is collaborating with public transportation operators such as Rapid KL to provide AI-based DRT (Demand Responsive Transport), developed and operated in Japan, as the last/first mile transportation to MRT/LRT stations, aiming to address these issues. This presentation will introduce this initiative

Dr. Zaitul Marizawati Zainuddin　UTM　

Title : Genetic Algorithm-Based Optimization of Location-Routing Problems for a Sustainable Biomass Supply Chain

Abstract：Addressing location-routing problems (LRP) is crucial for sustainability in the biomass supply chain (BSC). This study applies a Genetic Algorithm (GA) with automated mutation selection and elite child strategies to solve the LRP. The approach promotes sustainable logistics and provides valuable insights for stakeholders.

14：30～14：50　Break

14：50～16：20　Expert presentations

Dr. Atsushi Tero　IMI, Kyushu university (Short presentation by student)

TBD

Dr. Shariffah Suhaila Syed Jamaludin, UTM (moderated by Nur Syafiqah)

Title : A Statistical Data-Driven Framework for Understanding Rainfall Intensity and Climate Challenges in Malaysia

Abstract：This study examines advanced statistical methods, including distribution fitting, functional data analysis (FDA), and copula models, to enhance understanding and modeling of Malaysia’s increasing flood risks driven by extreme rainfall and climate change. It emphasizes the importance of capturing the temporal structure, interdependencies, and boundedness of wet days to improve flood prediction and resilience planning.

Dr. Zaiton Mat Isa, UTM (moderated by Noraini）

Title : Advection-Diffusion Equations (ADE) in Modeling Transport Phenomena

Abstract：This talk explores the versatility of advection-diffusion equations (ADE) in modeling transport phenomena. Applications include fumigation in grain storage, heavy metal migration in soil and indoor disease transmission.
