Formerly known as DFMA (Distributed Framework for Multimedia & Applications), DFmA (Distributed Frameworks & Applications) is the series of annual Franco – Malaysia Conference on Multimedia that has already initiated in 2005 by the University Franche-Comté and the Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) to provide a forum for researchers in computer science from both countries and to promote interaction with researchers from other regions as well. DFmA is an international conference born from the collaboration between Network Research Group, School of Computer Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia and the Laboratoire d’Informatique de l’Université de Franche-Comté, France. DFmA is technically co-sponsored by IEEE. The first conference was held in Besançon, France in February 2005, and the latest conference (DFmA) was held in Penang on 21-22 October 2008.

A message from UPH Rector Jonathan Parapak was for technology personnel to also pay attention to content as well. “The advanced technology is no doubt something good for human beings, but contents are also no less important since sophisticated technology would be useless if only used for negative things. The impact of the technology itself should be devoted to the welfare of society,” he said in the speech.

Information technology is growing fast each day. Now maybe we are familiar with the term 3G or even 3.5G for the latest one of data transmission process through internet. However, soon we will be dazzled by 4G technology, which has the speed up to 100MB/sec for uploading and 1GB/sec for downloading.

All of this was discussed in the workshop that presented five speakers who are competent in their respective field. Ihan Martoyo from UPH discussed “4G: It Is Not What You Think”, H. Arief Gunawan from Telkom and IEEE with the topic “LTE: The Technology Details”, Hadi Hariyanto from Telkom and IEEE on “WiMAX II: Technology and Challenges”, Denny Setiawan from UI on “4G Policy and Regulatory Challenges”, and Kusuma Lienandjaja from Ericsson Indonesia with the topic “Business Opportunities with 4G.” (UPH/cyn)

Moshe Kam provided a presentation on the next roadmap of the IEEE. The IEEE is the result of the merged AIEE and IRE. AIEE was a classical organisation occupied by an electrical engineers; while IRE was the organisation that possessed the young engineers who focused on electronics technology. Both had a growing number of members; but IRE grew much faster than AIEE. The mergers in 1963 to form the IEEE could overcome the problem of dualism. Then the societies, regions, sections, etc were formed. The IEEE is now recognised as the authority holder in various fields of science and engineering. From 20 most referred journals in electrical engineering, 16 is from the IEEE. From 20 most referred journals in telecommunications, 15 is from the IEEE. And so on. But from 20 most referred journals in medical informatics, only 2 is from the IEEE. And from 20 most referred journals in nanoscience, none is from the IEEE. Kam concluded: IEEE could have become the established power as the AIEE before the merger; white the life science develops in the direction that is favoured by young scientists and engineers, just like the IRE before the merger. Then he delivered the BOD mandate: the IEEE must be directed to the relevant technology. IEEE is not just an association of the learned, but an organisation of engineers and professionals.

Related to it, Region 10 launched programmes that lead to increased benefits to members and the community through the development of the organisation, profession, and technologies that are relevant to the present.

From Indonesia, TENCON 2011 organiser,  represented the Committee Chair Dr. Wahidin Wahab, reported the progress of preparation for the Conference, which will be carried out in Bali in November 2011. Vice Chair of the IEEE Indonesia Section, Arief Hamdani Gunawan, also proposed to hold the next Region 10 Annual Meeting in 2011 in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Many presentations from this meeting were uploaded on the website Region 10. Please download at: ewh.ieee.org/reg/10/Reports/meetrep/meetrep2010.html
