[en] Full-text:In Artificial Intelligent, the term ontology has largely come to mean one of two related things. Ontologies are content theories about the sorts of objects, properties of objects, and relations between objects that are possible in a specified domain of knowledge. They provide potential terms for describing our knowledge about the domain. In other words, ontology is defined as a shared understanding of some domain of interest, which is often realized as a set of classes (concepts), relations, functions, axioms, and instances. This paper reveals the result of a conceptual design process of an ontology for personnel trustworthiness evaluation. (author)

[en] Personnel trustworthiness or reliability is paramount to the success of any security program. In the Nuclear Security domain, personnel trustworthiness evaluation is one of the important tasks to mitigate insiders threat. Internal adversary or collision adversary could be identified by evaluating personnel trustworthiness. Currently, most organizations implemented a background checking process for personnel trustworthiness evaluation. The background-checked is done by manually screening a personnel's background data. Most of the data screening and filtration is done by security personnel in the Security Department. This practice evoked issues regarding the security personnel himself as there is human intervention in the process. The result could be biased based on the human perception or the relationship of the evaluator to the personnel that is being evaluated. Therefore, there is a need to overcome the problem. One of the solutions is by implementing an Artificial Intelligent System that could evaluate the personnel's trustworthiness autonomously. A knowledge-based technique has always been a very comprehensive technique in developing intelligent application systems. The use of ontologies in the intelligent system is necessary to provide a vocabulary and taxonomy of categorization and classification of entities within the domain. Thus, this paper proposed a knowledge-based model, namely, the Personnel Trustworthiness Evaluation Ontology (PTEO) v1.0 that has been developed based on current practice, as stated in the IAEA guidelines.

[en] Opinion mining or sentiment analysis based on social media has been developed these years, especially with the popularity of social media and the development of machine learning. Nowadays, people are more willing to share and discuss their thoughts on online platforms. Therefore, analyzing the public opinions towards heated topics are valuable to gain insights about how public feel about certain topics. However, in the community of nuclear engineering and technology in Malaysia, sentiment analysis is seldom studied. This paper will be discussed on the sentiment that could be identified around nuclear topics in Malaysia with the help of social media. Goals for this project is to unveil netizens sentiments and common issues found from the online articles by classifying the sentiment around user comments either they are positive, negative or neutral and then extract value in terms of key words associated with each sentiment. A Hybrid approach combining the Valence Aware Dictionary and Sentiment Reasoner (VADER) and machine learning algorithm is applied on the user's comment to predict the sentiment. The experimental results show that the validation accuracy is ≅ 74.6 %. (author)

[en] In the contemporary era, the development of systems is now open to any company, organization, or individual. these developed systems serve to streamline the daily tasks of organizations. for organizations like Nuklear Malaysia, the emphasis on system development is currently not only centered around system effectiveness but also includes a keen focus on issues related to security and source code integrity. Within Nuklear Malaysia, there are more than 30 systems that have been developed in-house as well as using external resources. This paper presents the development of the Nuklear Malaysia Source Code Repository System (NMSRS) utilizing GitLab as a platform to enhance the security aspects of system development. NMSRS aims to provide a robust and trusted solution for reviewing and securely storing Nuklear Malaysia's source code, safeguarding intellectual property and sensitive information. Additionally, this paper elaborates on the design and implementation aspects of NMSRS, including key features such as code versioning, access control, issue tracking, and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) capabilities, along side code reviews for security concerns.

[en] In accordance with the current asset management procedures, all 100% of the Department's assets must be inspected annually. Management targets a KPI of 100% asset inspection. The Divisional Asset Inspection Status needs to be submitted to the Procurement and Assets Unit (UPA) on a monthly basis for monitoring and record purposes. Meanwhile, a completed and signed Asset Inspection Report (Kewpa-10/Kewpa-11) must be submitted to UPA at the end of the year. Issues arise for IT Centre (ITC) which face with a relatively large number of movable and capital assets located in various locations. Network equipment such as switches, routers and access points (AP) are IT Centre assets that are installed in almost every block in Bangi Complex and Jalan Dengkil. The Asset Inspection List through the Asset Management & Maintenance System (SPA) shows that there are almost 150 units of network equipment under the maintenance of IT Centre in 2018. This number will continue to increase from time to time according to users' needs for internet access. The short equipment life cycle as a result of rapid changes in ICT technology is also one of the factors in the replacement of new network equipment. In this situation, the user at the asset location is the most appropriate “asset inspector” in providing feedback on the current status of the asset. Based on paragraphs 16.1 and 16.2 of Chapter C of Treasury Circular No. 5 of 2007, government assets must be kept in a safe place and always under the control of the responsible officer. Government Security Instructions must always be followed to prevent damage or loss of assets; and each officer is liable for any shortage, damage or loss of assets under his responsibility. Therefore, the conversion of the nominee/user of the IT Centre to the user at the asset location is a solution to the issue of assets inspection of shared network equipment within the agency.

[en] Full-text:System maintenance is an important aspect of the ICT system development life cycle (SDLC). It focuses on managing the use of the system including providing technical support after the system is deployed. Meanwhile, business continuity plan (BCP) is a strategic approach to identify, prevent, mitigate, and manage related risks to maintain business operations in the event of any disruption or disaster. This paper will discuss the importance of system maintenance in optimizing the SDLC chain and its synergy with BCM practices to ensure the continuity of agency operations and services. The integration of system maintenance implementation that takes into account BCP requirements will contribute to the overall efficient, effective, and secure ICT system management. (author)

[en] Nowadays, electronic information systems play a significant aspect in assisting states in achieving objectives in security and safeguard of nuclear and radioactive materials. The electronic information systems that encapsulate emerging technologies in their features would serve the highest capabilities in assisting nuclear/ radioactive materials security and safeguards. A review of the existing electronic information system is a critical first step to assess the currently available technology in software for managing nuclear/ radioactive materials. This paper presents a review and analysis of the existing electronic information systems that are performed to get insight into the implementation level, characteristics, and capabilities of currently available systems used for managing nuclear/ radioactive materials. This study is performed following a systematic literature review methodology. Fifteen electronic information systems are evaluated based on three main characteristics that are chosen in getting the answer to the quest about whether the electronic information systems for nuclear/ radioactive management with integrated and intelligent features are readily available.

[en] Research and Development (R and D) is a main activity carried out at the Malaysian Nuclear Agency particularly in the physical science and nuclear field. The R and D activity that is carried out needs to be managed more efficiently and systematically. Until now all research management activities are carried out manually or semi electronically, beginning from filling in application forms to when the project is completed. Therefore a computerized system is needed in order to manage and monitor R and D projects. The R and D system is capable of giving access information concerning R and D projects which are carried out to users inside and outside the agency. The R and D management system (RDMS) can increase the capability of the Malaysian Nuclear Agency in managing, researching and developing, innovating and inventing technology as well as commercializing the R and D produced.

[en] Managing nuclear safety knowledge is challenging due to the uniqueness of the knowledge itself. It requires specific strategies to ensure it becomes an integral part of all nuclear activities. In general, safety knowledge that need to be managed includes both explicit (documented knowledge) and tacit (subjective knowledge) knowledge. Explicit knowledge is in the form of a formal, easily documented, systematic, and easily communicated within organization. While tacit knowledge is knowledge held by an employees in accordance with the understanding, skills (expertise), and their experience. Therefore, tacit knowledge need to be managed differently to ensure it can be properly captured, preserved and transferred to successors. This is the most difficult steps in the implementation of nuclear safety knowledge management. Tacit knowledge need to go through codification process so that it can be systematically documented and accessible in the organization. One of the strategies to facilitate tacit knowledge codification is through the implementation of Integrated Management System (IMS). IMS for safety and security is established in Malaysian Nuclear Agency (Nuclear Malaysia) to ensure nuclear safety and security matters are incorporated in managing nuclear facilities and activities. This paper looks at the role played by the IMS process in contributing to the knowledge codification within the organization. (author)
