Preface
24 & 25 November 2016, Kings Green Hotel Melaka, Malaysia.
The International Engineering Research and Innovation Symposium (IRIS) is organized by researchers from various disciplines. It aims to provide a better platform for communication and discussion among academics, researchers, industrial players as well as post-graduate students. It also aims to provide a better platform for sharing knowledge and ideas, networking, presenting research findings and exploring other potential benefits that might be contributed for a better future.
Our first conference was organized in September 2015 at Everly Hotel Putrajaya, and it was a very successful event with four satellite conferences. To continue our successful story, this year IRIS 2016 will be comprised of five satellite conferences with broader coverage of engineering areas:
• International Conference on Energy and Combustion (ICEC2016)
• International Conference on Advances in Mechanics (ICAM2016)
• International Conference on Industrial and Design Engineering (InCIDE2016)
• International Conference on Sustainable and Green Technology (SiGHT2016)
• International Conference on Electronics Engineering and Computing (ICEEC2016)
We received overwhelming responses from researchers, and 115 papers were finalized to be included in the IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering.
We would like to thank everyone associated in managing and participating in the conference including UTHM Holdings Sdn. Bhd., Professor Dr. Yusri Yusof as our inspiring keynote speakers, committee members, and scientific reviewers and not to forget, all presenters and participants. We do hope the connection which was built through this conference could lead to further and better cooperation between us.
