Out of nearly 200 submissions, 75 works that were approved by the Review Board to be presented at ICISN 2022 met the high standards of innovation and academic robustness, along with having less than 15% of similarities and overlaps with other works. Approved studies and conference proceedings will be published in the Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems by the prestigious publisher, Springer.

Research topics were diverse, aiming to solve practical problems of business and society, such as: Control design of thermoacoustic generator system using reinforcement learning algorithms, Developing economical and effective ultraviolet (UVC) irradiation solutions and equipment for rapid disinfection of SARS-CoV-2 on N95 respirators; A new system for license plate recognition in traffic violation scenarios in Vietnam; Heart disease prediction using soft computing method; Implementation of SMOTE and VGG-16 for Covid-19 radiography.

This year, ICISN welcomed renowned scholars with global recognition. Notable keynote speakers and delegates include Dr. Chutiporn Anutariya from the Asian Institute of Technology Thailand (AIT); Dr. Rafidah Md Noor, Deputy Dean (Science) at Institute for Advanced Studies, University of Malaya; Professor Lam Kwok Yan, Professor of Computer Science at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. 

The conference also received contributions and support from scientists and researchers from Vietnam’s leading institutions, such as Dr. Nguyen Canh Minh (University of Transport), Dr. Tran Duc Tan (Phenikaa University), Dr. Le Anh Ngoc (Swinburne Vietnam), Dr. Lam Sinh Cong (University of Technology, Vietnam National University, Hanoi), Dr. Dao Nam Anh (Electric Power University), Dr. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Anh (Hanoi University of Science and Technology), and Dr. Nguyen Thi Dieu Linh (Hanoi University of Industry),...

In the IoT era, Artificial intelligence (AI) is seen as both an opportunity and challenge for businesses. Digital Health with the power of AI and democratize AI in the modern world was the focus of the keynote presentation given by Truong Quoc Hung, CEO of VinBrain. The presentation demonstrated how AI and big data applications are becoming an essential practice for businesses that want to seize opportunities in this fast-changing digital transformation. 

“VinBrain is in the process of creating a unique, long-term health ecosystem that is capable of giving early validation within near-real-time feedback loop through big data’s power and AI assistants, such as AIviCare™ and AI for telehealth and DrAid™,” Hung shared.

Dr. Le Nhan Tam, Chief Technology Officer of IBM Vietnam also gave a plenary talk about AI Data Lake - Redefining the traditional data lake.

The digital transformation has led to a significant increase in information traffic as cloud adoption grows, hence, streaming data is gaining significant popularity. Data lake is a technology platform and supporting architecture for fast data collection with a natural storage model for complex multi-structured data, which provides cost-effective storage for large data sets and AI-powered data analysis.

ICISN 2022 receives contributions and attention from the industry’s leading corporations

The commitments of Vietnam’s leading technology corporations at ICISN 2022 contribute to creating a complete ecosystem in which universities, research institutes, scientists, and businesses join hands to accelerate technological advancement. In this ecosystem, businesses will participate and become research centers that aid the development and implementation of technology, which, in the long run, will nurture the startup community and promote innovation for society.
