WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE MCAIT 2021 CONFERENCE CHAIR

On behalf of the MCAIT 2021 and AWIST2021 organizing committees, I am
delighted to welcome all participants of the 5th International Multi-Conference on
Artificial Intelligence Technology (MCAIT 2021) and the 4th ASEAN Workshop on
Information Science and Technology 2021 (AWIST2021) that take place virtually on August
4 and 5, 2021. MCAIT 2021 is being hosted in conjunction with AWIST2021 to invite more
scholars to submit their research ideas and results. This event is organized by the Center
for Artificial Intelligence Technology (CAIT), Faculty of Information Science & Technology
(FTSM), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia.

This conference will focus on artificial intelligence (AI) and related disciplines.
Attendees will be able to share ideas, learn about new prospects, reconnect with past
networks, and broaden their knowledge in this setting. The session will be held remotely
due to the pandemic Covid19. The theme of MCAIT 2021 is "Artificial Intelligence in the
4th Industrial Revolution", which will cover a wide range of the topic such as artificial
intelligence, semantic technology, ICT solution to the industrial problem, computer vision,
machine learning, and others.

The MCAIT 2021 was established to encourage international scientific exchanges
and collaborations among AI researchers. MCAIT 2021 is the fifth edition of MCAIT, which
began in Putrajaya in 2011, and was followed by MCAIT 2013 in Shah Alam, M-CAIT 2016
in Malacca, and MCAIT 2018 in Sarawak, Malaysia. Meanwhile, the FTSM is hosting
AWIST2021, a workshop co-hosted by the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and
Technology (JAIST), Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM), and Universiti Teknologi
MARA (UiTM). The connection began in 2013 and has since been strengthened through a
variety of activities. As a result, UKM values the submission of articles and contributions
by AWIST collaborators.

The programme committee has approved 50 manuscripts for oral presentations
based on reviewers' recommendations. All accepted articles will be published as an e-
proceeding with ISBN registration and will be presented at MCAIT 2021. The authors of
selected articles will be invited to submit an extended work for publication in the "Asia-
Pacific Journal of Information Technology and Multimedia (APJITM)," which is indexed by
DOAJ, MYCITE, and others (see https://www.ukm.my/apjitm/indexing).
