BACKGROUND
In the
history of civilisation, man have undergone at least three major
revolutions namely the revolutions of agricultural , industrial
and information. In this 21st century, a new revolution called
the GRIN has surfaced. GRIN is an acronym for the fields of
genomics, robotic, information and Nano-technology. In genomics,
scientists have managed to encode a composition of 30 000 to 50
0000 genes on an individual. This information has helped
scientists and technologists to seek antidotes of various
diseases which are related to breeds and researches in the field
of robotics that have assisted humans in their daily life. This
is followed by a progress in the field of information that has
led to the capacity to manipulate and interpret all data related
to human attitude and others including Nano-engineering or
engineering at its most micro level. This rapid expansion of
science and technology has created vast challenges for the
scientists and local technologists and researchers, especially
in the Malay world, to prepare themselves to face such
expansion. This shows that the significance of science and
technology in any clusters of society due to its invaluable
contribution to mankind, including those in the Malay world.
History has also shown that the Malay world has been one of the
contributors to the development of Science and Technology not
only in the region but also in the global progress of
civilisations. In light of this, , the initiated SALAM 1 and
SALAM 2 that aimed to set forth the achievements of the Malay
World in science and technology has added on scholarly
contribution relating to science and technology in the Malay
world, intensifying the understanding and recognition of science
and technology in the Malay World. It had further explored the
philosophy of science and technology in the Malay society in
which SALAM 3 is now held with similar aims to further continue
these efforts.
OBJECTIVES
Conference
objectives:
1. To put forward the achievements of science and technology
in the Malay world.
2. To bring together scholarly contribution regarding science
and technology in the Malay world.
3. To increase the understanding and recognition of science and
technology in the Malay world.
4. To further explore the philosophy of science and technology
in the Malay world.
THEME
Salam 1 is
a conference for scholars and researchers from all parts of the
world to share their knowledge both locally and internationally.
It invites full-paper submissions, which may address
theoretical, methodological or practical aspects related to
Science and Technology in the Malay World and should revolve
around the conference themes.
Conference
topics will include all aspects of:
• Malay attitude towards nature
• Malay scientist contribution
• Science Biography in the Malay world
• Librarial science
• Institutional science
• Medical science
• Naval science and shipping technology
• Agricultural science
• Botanical science
• Defence technology
• Industrial design
