4 FOREWARD BY THE DEAN I would like to express my thanks for being given the opportunity again to deliver the welcoming note to our school 2016 annual report. It is a great pleasure to welcome you to another edition of the Annual Report of the School of Computer Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia. The various accomplishments and achievements as highlighted in this report have shown again that the school has performed reasonably well in most, if not all areas in 2016 at both local and international levels. The school has shown marked improvements in various areas such as research and innovation, teaching, supervision, publications, and industry and community engagement in order to be in line with both the university s and the school s mission and vision. All these achievements would not have been possible without the continuous commitment and support from every member of the school. Thank you all for your commitment. The trust from the university s top management is also a crucial element in the success of the school. I would therefore like to extend my sincerest thanks to new USM s management led by the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Datuk Dr Asma Ismail. I strongly believe that this annual report will be beneficial to our future students and the public seeking the latest information on academic, research and other activities. It is my hope that this annual report will assist in disseminating clearer and more detailed information on research and the researchers in the School. This will also be beneficial to those aspiring to conduct research or become graduate students at SoCS. Again, I would like to convey my heartfelt gratitude to the editorial team members and all those involved for their tireless effort and dedication in producing this report. Thank you. Prof. Ahamad Tajuddin Khader Dean School of Computer Sciences 3

5 INTRODUCTION The School of Computer Sciences was established officially on the 1st of March 1995 after functioning for a period of 20 years as the Division of Computer Science, an independent and autonomous unit within the School of Mathematical and Computer Sciences. Over the years, the school has been engaging in various developments, advances, and achievements of computer science pertaining to the academic programmes, research and development, consultancy, community services and others. The school is now in a leading position as far as research and development activities are concerned and are gearing up its efforts to meet new challenges of research and development by restructuring our research activities/groups into 3 clusters to support our research activities. These 3 clusters (Enabling Technologies & Infrastructure, Data- to- Knowledge, and Service Computing) can be seen as our integrated approach in line with the emerging trend of multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary research. The school has been maintaining strong and strategic linkages with the industry. Formal and informal events has been organised to exchange ideas that benefit the curriculum and the industry. The school has been involved in various joint projects with all types of industries supported by the national and international grants. The school has also been involved in consultancies, particularly in software system developments. In terms of global partners, the school has always maintained strong and strategic linkages with universities in North America, Europe, Australia, Japan, Singapore and the Middle East. These smart partnerships include long- standing research collaborations with several French universities on natural language processing, distributed computing and artificial intelligence. The joint supervision of postgraduate students is made possible through such linkages. Over the next decade, the School of Computer Sciences will continue its efforts to strengthen its curriculum and research in order to produce quality graduates and to contribute to the sustainable development of the nation. 4

54 SPECIAL REPORT Prof. Rosni Abdullah Pengkomputeran Selari Bertemu Biologi Data saintifik semakin berkembang dengan pesat hari ini, dan biologi juga tidak terkecuali. Kadar pertumbuhan bagi data biologi adalah luar biasa, dengan adanya kemajuan dalam genomik, pengimejan dan teknologi lain. Sebagaimana umumnya dikenali sebagai Data Besar Biologi, percambahan set data ini berlaku dalam tiga dimensi: jumlah data, kelajuan data masuk dan keluar, dan kepelbagaian jenis data dan sumber- sumber data. Institut Bioinformatik Eropah (EBI) di United Kingdom menyimpan sebanyak 20 petabyte (1 petabyte bersamaan 1015bytes) data, 2 Petabyte daripadanya ialah data genom. Perkembangan pesat dalam Data Besar Biologi menuntut pendekatan dan teknik- teknik baru untuk mencapai, mengurus, menyusun dan menganalisis runtuhan data biologi, yang kini tidak boleh disokong oleh satu komputer. Kuasa pengiraan yang tinggi diperlukan untuk memenuhi permintaan data yang besar serta pengiraan besar- besaran. Keupayaan untuk meningkatkan kelajuan komputer juga telah menepu. Begitu juga dengan pertumbuhan prestasi pemproses tunggal yang meningkat hanya sedikit dari masa ke masa. Selain itu, peluang juga terhad untuk meningkatkan prestasi komputer secara ketara dengan meningkatkan struktur dalaman pemproses berurutan yang sedia ada. Malah, pemproses tunggal dan model pengaturcaraan berurutan yang telah dikuasai pengkomputeran sejak kelahirannya pada tahun 1940, tidak lagi mampu untuk mencapai pertumbuhan prestasi yang berterusan untuk keperluan masa hadapan IT. Satu penyelesaian yang menarik untuk memberikan kuasa pengiraan yang diperlukan ialah pengkomputeran selari. Oleh itu, pertumbuhan masa depan dalam prestasi pengkomputeran perlu datang dari keselarian. Sebuah komputer dengan elemen pemprosesan pelbagai dikenali sebagai komputer selari. Daripada menggunakan pemproses tunggal untuk memproses data, beberapa pemproses disediakan untuk menyelesaikan masalah tersebut. Dengan kata lain, pengkomputeran selari ialah penggunaan elemen pemprosesan pelbagai yang mampu untuk bekerjasama dalam menyelesaikan masalah pengiraan. Kerjasama ini dapat dilakukan, pertama, dengan membahagi beban pengiraan masalah (tugas atau data) kepada bahagian- bahagian dan, kedua, dengan menyambung semula pengiraan separa untuk menghasilkan keputusan yang tepat. Dengan adanya kemahiran dalam pembangunan algoritma selari pasti akan mencepatkan tugas menyusun, mengurus dan menganalisis data saintifik. Syarahan ini akan memberi gambaran keseluruhan pengkomputeran selari berbanding pengkomputeran bersiri, diikuti dengan mengemukakan bagaimana pengkomputeran selari boleh menjadi salah satu penyelesaian untuk data besar biologi. Akhirnya, syarahan ini akan mengulas cabaran dan harapan apabila pengkomputeran selari bertemu biologi. 53

55 Suatu Perjalanan Melalui Ruang Carian Mencari penyelesaian untuk masalah antara banyak penyelesaian yang mungkin melibatkan carian melalui ruang carian penyelesaian bagi penyelesaian yang dikehendaki. Ini adalah satu perjalanan yang remeh jika ruang penyelesaian boleh dilalui secara komprehensif dalam masa yang munasabah untuk mencari penyelesaian yang dikehendaki. Tetapi kebanyakan masalah dunia sebenar pada masa kini tidak remeh. Ruang penyelesaian meningkat dengan mendadak dengan peningkatan saiz masalah. Hal ini berlaku terutamanya dalam masalah kombinatorik. Prof. Dr. Ahamad Tajudin Khader Perjalanan penyelidikan penulis, yang bermula dengan menyelesaikan beberapa masalah jadual waktu sekolah bagi sekolah- sekolah Malaysia dalam tahun lapan puluhan, telah membawa beliau melalui pelbagai jalan penyelidikan dalam usaha beliau untuk mencari jawapan bagi masalah ini yang nampak mudah tetapi merupakan antara masalah yang sukar komputasinya. Sepanjang perjalanan, masalah kombinatorik yang lain juga telah memberikan keseronokan yang besar kepada usaha ini. Melayari ruang carian memerlukan keseimbangan antara penerokaan dan eksploitasi kerana saiz dan kerumitan ruang. Persoalan besar di sini ialah sama ada penerokaan mencukupi telah berlaku sebelum eksploitasi boleh dimulakan. Dan cara terbaik untuk meneroka dan mengeksploitasi ruang yang luas dan kompleks. Usaha ini bukan sahaja memerlukan penulis untuk mengemudi lautan algoritma, tetapi juga membuka ruang pada kemajuan algoritma. Kemunculan Algoritma Evolusi dan Metaheuristik telah banyak membantu. Akhir- akhir ini pula terdapat banyak algoritma baru dengan inspirasi daripada alam semula jadi. Penggunaan kacukan algoritma juga menjadi bergaya. Tetapi ini menimbulkan isu- isu prestasi. Persembahan ini akan melihat kepada perkara ini dari perspektif penulis. 54
