Acknowledgements

The successful organisation of a large international conference requires financial support as well as individual effort from many organisations and people. The conference local organising committee is grateful to have both sponsorship and personal support and contributions.

Special thanks to all those involved in the conference organisation especially Local Organising Committee members and staff in various departments and offices of the supporting institutions.

I would like to express my gratitude to members of the International Scientific Committee for their valuable assistance in reviewing the papers and for their promotion of the conference. I also wish to thank all the authors for their contributions in preparation of the manuscripts.

Thanks are due to all the session chairs, presenters and all the participants whose support is essential to the success of the conference. The strong support from government agencies, industry and professional bodies is also greatly appreciated.

Thanks are also due to the secretariat support provided by Jessica Tan and Sophia Siah of AOS Conventions & Events, as well as the help provided by the postgraduate students especially Tina Ting Chui Huon, Sharon Yee Jia Huey and Valerie Jong Siaw Wee from Curtin University Sarawak Campus.

Finally, we gratefully acknowledge the support provided by Curtin University Sarawak campus, particularly the School of Engineering & Science, and our pleasant cooperation with the National University of Malaysia (UKM).
