Work Force / Demand of IT in Indonesia. Architecture of Academic Information

Infrastructure (AII). Internet Application in Indonesia. Summary.

Internet User Profile

40-60 million users. >90% are university educated. 70-80% are male. US$40-60.000 / year.

IT based business is runby educated people!

Demand of IT?

KOMPAS, 4 March 1997: 80.110.060 (100%) total work force. 56.033.911 (69.95% ) in agriculture, forestry, fishery, mining

- at the most SD. 12.193.652 (15.2%) in trade, retail business & services - high

school graduates. 2.868.140 (3.5%) financial, private sector & services - post-

high school graduates. Approximately 60.000 (0.1%) are on Internet.

Only small numberis a potential IT user

Only small percentageis in a competitive business

It is a shame ...

Only 19% of high school graduate receiving higher education in Indonesia.

Only approx. 40 higher educational institutions connected to Internet. Mostly(more than half) through ITB.

Only 0.1% of the work force are in a competitive business environment.

Strong demand forcontinuing education

More than halfvia ITBBusiness Environment

is not forcing peopleto be competitive?

Where is IHE-NET in the picture? IHE-NET is in the application layer. It focuses on the interaction of the

educational society.

Basic Strategies

Try to use the existing infrastructure or build your own whenever possible.

Employed Qualified Human Resource.

The most difficult task!

IHE-Net Strategies

Strategies in HEE-Net application layer development.

Strategies in legal framework to support HEE-Net.

Strategies in IT & Telecommunication infrastructure.

Purpose of IHE-Net

To promote the exchange of information and human resources among institutions and even individuals and realize the mutual benefits in the collaborating partners.

To enhance the quality and capability of engineering education by improving the teaching staff competence in teaching and research activities.

Purpose of IHE-Net

Setup of information exchange networks Education promotion. Research activity promotion. Teaching staff. Event and publications.

Purpose of IHE-Net

Education promotion Standardization of the curriculum. Student exchange programs. Transfer of credits. Faculty member exchange programs. Exchange of class lessons by multimedia.

Purpose of IHE-Net

Research activity promotion Organization of an annual international

seminar / workshop on the network. Support for the participants to international

seminars, conferences and symposiums. Establishment of domestic academic

societies.

Purpose of IHE-Net

Research acitivies promotion con’t .. Support for year-wise collaboration

researches on a specific field or a subject. Organization of a periodical international

seminar, conference, or symposium on a specific field or a subject.

Support for research works at Japanese supporting universities.

Strategies in The Application Layer First, one has to have some knowledge on

the resources & expertise of the other parties.

Web applications would beto perfect fit to it.

many university administrators are

using printed media (and most of

the time difficult to ask for it)

Second, LMO doing “link & match”.

Physical contact through seminars,

workshops, conferences on

various topics.

should be followed by virtual contact

through E-mail discussions through

various mailing lists

It will require sometime

(might be 1-2 years)

to get the results of such activities.

Third, use of multimedia technology.

For example, we can do live broadcast

of regular seminars through

Multicast Backbone (MBONE)

facilities in Internet.

It has been done between Hong Kong

University of Science & Technology (HKUST)

and Institute of Technology Bandung (ITB)

over our AI3 link

Fourth, mutual collaboration could be initiated by keeping a win-win situation among parties.

Strategies in Telecom Infrastructure Educational institutions will rely on telco

services for its telecommunication infrastructure.

Educational institution should run its own Internet operation on top of telco highways.

Summary

Internet would be one of the best media for building the required Indonesian human resources.

Internet is only a tool.

The key factor is on the qualified human resource employed.
