Commissioned by the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), STPI collaborates with several government agencies to execute “Civil IoT Taiwan” Program on four main areas: air quality, earthquake, water resources, and disaster response. The team utilizes AI-based IoT technology to implement various systems that provide smart services used by citizens in their daily activities and to assist the government and the general public in facing the challenges posed by changes in the environment.
In order to disseminate program achievements, the team not only periodically participates in domestic and international exhibitions and forums but also presents academic papers in international conferences. This approach facilitates a deeper understanding of global IoT-related academic research and promotes the achievements of the program, establishing future channels and networks for international collaboration.
This year, one of the team members participated in the International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Applications (ICIEA) held in Hiroshima, Japan. ICIEA is a significant international academic conference focused on IoT, theory of industrial engineering, relevant technologies, and their applications. In addition, Japan leads globally in environmental monitoring technology development including air and water quality monitoring. This leadership spans sensor technologies, communication infrastructure as well as big data and AI applications. Every year ICIEA invites global experts to share the latest technological trends and practical insights. This year STPI researcher is honored to join ICIEA, hoping to enhance the core capacities in policy research and analysis.

The presentations at ICIEA 2024 covered a range of diverse topics across several fields, providing deep insights and knowledge for future issue analysis and policy formulation. Key themes included Industry 3.5, software decline and reset, patent data analysis, and the reliability assessment of stochastic flow network.

Participating in ICIEA 2024 not only provided new perspectives and methodologies for issue analysis but also offered an opportunity for STPI researcher to share research findings and program implementation experiences related to “Civil IoT Taiwan”. Engaging with foreign scholars through this platform allowed us to gain valuable insights and experiences. These insights are crucial for future policy formulation and interdisciplinary research, hoping one day we can take advantage of knowledge learned at ICIEA as a foundation for issue analysis and strategic planning on emerging technologies and industrial development.
