This document summarizes a proposal submitted by a team for the MyTRIZ Competition 2012. It contains 3 parts: Part 1 discusses the problem of a shortage of skilled ICT graduates in Malaysia and proposes solutions like awareness programs, competitions, and standardized curriculums to address misperceptions about careers in ICT. Part 2 presents a problem where wood materials transported through pipes are damaging the pipes due to rubbing. It applies TRIZ tools like function analysis and the contradiction matrix to propose a solution of covering wood materials with bubble wrap before transport. Part 3 proposes enhancing the Fuzzy ARTMAP machine learning model using an evolutionary-based TRIZ S-curve to optimize the number of nodes and performance based

2. Contents
• Part 1
• Question (a)
• Impact: The country will have sustainable skilled
and qualified ICT workers needed for the future.
• Part 2
• Impact: The wood materials are transported
without damaging the pipe.
• Part 3
• Impact: Enhancing the FAM Learning Mechanism
using Evolutionary-based TRIZ S-Curve Model

3. Part 1: Problem Analysis
• Shortage of skilled ICT graduates
• Why? Because current Institute of Higher Learning
(IPT/IPTA) is unable to produce sufficient "skilled"
graduates
• Why? Because good students tend to choose other
fields, e.g. Medicine, Dentistry & Pharmacy etc.
• Why? Students believe that career in ICT does not
provide good pay and job satisfaction
• Why? Misperceptions that ICT field does not provide
better pay, low jobs satisfaction and lacks of jobs
opportunities.

5. Part 2: Problem Statement
• The 1-meter pipe leaks due to the
rubbing and knocking of wood
materials transported inside the
pipe using water as a medium of
transport.
example of wood material
Pipe (with water) to transport wood material

6. TRIZ process used
Function Analysis:
Pipe contains water and wood based materials
Water holds the wood based materials inside the pipe
Water flows with wood based materials through the pipe
Identify the type of contradictions:
Administrative contradictions: We want to allow the wood based
materials to traverse through the pipe without damaging the pipe.
Engineering contradictions: wood based material surface contact
damages the pipe
Physical Contradiction Solution Strategies: Separation in Space
Inventive Principle:
30. Flexible Shells / Thin Films

7. TRIZ tools used
• Contradiction Matrix cannot be used
since we are dealing single parameter,
in this case, the contact surface of
wood based materials.
• Instead, Physical Contradiction
Solution Strategies: Separation in Space
is used. It leads to the Inventive
Principle: 30. Flexible Shells / Thin Films

8. Potential Solutions
• Cover the wood based materials
with bubble wrap and then
transport them through the pipe.

9. Part 3:
Enhancing the FAM Learning
Mechanism using
Evolutionary-based TRIZ S-
Curve Model

10. The Scope of
TRIZ Hybridization Model
1. A combination with a Pareto-based algorithm
(MmGA) to undertaking the efficiency of learning
process in FAM
2. An optimization of the number of nodes in FAM
network without prior configuration towards Pareto
Front solutions
3. An implementation of proposed model using USM
Extract with Mobile Desktop Grid (MDG) in the form
of web application and API level
