CCS-developed waste management system accomplishes major milestones

Dec 22 2025

A waste management system developed by the College of Computer Studies (CCS), known as the CLENS Project, has reached major milestones this year, including the acceptance of a research paper at the 11th International Congress on Information and Communication Technology (ICICT) 2026, the publication of a book chapter in Springer Nature’s Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems–a Scopus-indexed series–and the completion of its Alpha Testing Program.

To be held on February 24-27, 2026 in London, United Kingdom, in conjunction with the ICT Excellence Awards, the project’s acceptance at the ICICT 2026 affirms its scientific merit and its contribution to the growing global interest in ICT-driven environmental governance. The forthcoming publication in Springer LNNS also provides international visibility for 草莓视频 and demonstrates that CLENS offers a novel, mobile-first approach to strengthening waste collection coordination in developing communities.

This international achievement also comes at an important moment for CLENS, as the project—funded under Special Order 00223-IIT Series of 2025, which concludes this December—has successfully completed its Alpha Testing Program and delivered promising early results.

This study conceptualizes a holistic waste management awareness system that integrates gamification, artificial intelligence (AI), and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. The system employs AI-driven computer vision for garbage classification and volume estimation, IoT sensors for real-time data collection on waste and water quality, and a gamified mobile platform to incentivize community participation in proper waste segregation.

On October 16, 2025, the CLENS team conducted its Alpha testing at CCS. The event brought together over 40 student participants who evaluated the system’s educational, functional, and interactive components. The activity showcased CLENS’s three integrated modules: Intelligent Garbage Analysis, Gamification Network, and IoT-based Water Quality Monitoring

Participants installed the prototype app, explored its features, and completed structured evaluations. Feedback highlighted the app’s clarity, motivational design, and relevance for fostering responsible waste management habits. The strong reception during Alpha testing emphasizes CLENS’s potential as a digital pathway for improving community participation and environmental awareness. Users found its real-time request system, tracking features, clear interfaces, and gamification elements highly intuitive and engaging.

The study found that even without full IoT infrastructure, a mobile-only coordination system can significantly improve transparency, responsiveness, and user motivation—key elements in digital governance and sustainable city systems.

These results arrive at a crucial transition point: as the CLENS project wraps up its 2025 funding cycle, the research team now holds a solid foundation for expanding to Beta development and seeking new institutional or external support.

The CLENS Project stands as a testament to how university-driven research can empower communities, transform environmental practices, and contribute to global ICT scholarship—all beginning with a prototype that has already demonstrated real potential for societal impact.
