Researchers wishing to disseminate research results at the 15th AIWEST-DR 2023 must upload the abstract on the portal site provided. Each abstract abstract will go through a screening process in advance with the main criteria covering topics that are relevant to the scope of the workshop and meet quality standards. Only abstracts that have met these standards will go through a blind-review process regulated by the Technical Program Committee. Only abstracts that are accepted after the blind-review process are declared eligible to be able to register. Announcement of accepted abstracts will be presented on the workshop website and authors will be notified directly via email. Authors of abstracts that have been accepted must ensure that one of the authors can present his research directly at the workshop or as a presenter. Each presenter will be invited to write a full-paper which will later be published in a journal and or proceedings.

Submission type

We welcome submissions in the following forms:

Abstract and Presentation – Abstract submission only, subject to peer review.

Ramayana stories based on Hindu epics adapted to Javanese culture make Ramayana Prambanan a unique dance. More than 200 professional dancers and gamelan musicians participated in this Ramayana Ballet which took place on an open stage with Prambanan Temple as a backdrop.
