The 1st presentation was by Dr. Krishna Mochtar of Indonesia on the "Problems in Materials and Equipment Procurement of Indonesian Contractors.  He highlighted that due to the geographical spread of Indonesia, logistics pose major problems and therefore variables in cost between the more developed western part of Indonesia and the less developed part of Indonesia.

The 2nd presentation was by Dr. Yi-Hsin (Carrie) Lin from the South East University of Nanjing, China.  Her paper was on the Evaluation of Competitiveness of International and Chinese Contractors using the "Back Propagation Neural Network" technique.
