ASEAN community 2015 moves the competition of Indonesia up to another level, from only domestic competition to a wider ASEAN regional competition. This study aims to investigate preparedness level of universities in Indonesia in the face of ASEAN regional competition. Market orientation in higher education is a definite need of universities to compete effectively. Coordination between functions and standards in universities is the foundation to manage competitiveness. Model of correlation between market orientation and quality of education standard, research standard and community service standard, supported by the accountability framework of the university, develops the competitive advantage and its impact on performance.
One key autonomous driving car application that can be utilized to address the problem of parking spaces is autonomous parking. The goal of this study is to develop a path planning algorithm that can swiftly create a path for autonomous parking in a variety of car parking settings. The method employed is a mix of Rapidly Exploring Random Tree Star and Ant Colony Systems (RRT-ACS). The RRT-ACS method can quickly provide an ideal path. The reed sheep planner technique is also used to provide a smooth curving path that non-holonomic vehicles can follow. The performance of the RRT-ACS algorithm-based autonomous parking system is compared to that of the RRT*-connect and informed RRT*-connect algorithms. The simulation tests were performed in common parking settings such as parallel parking and vertical parking. The test results reveal that the suggested autonomous parking system outperforms other comparative algorithms. It is possible to infer that a route planning algorithm capable of rapidly designing a path for automatic parking in a variety of car parking circumstances has been successfully built. These findings may have ramifications for self-driving cars equipped with advanced driver support systems.

Abstract
Ibn al-Haytham (d. 1039) is a well known scholar for his contributions in natural and mathematical sciences. The research focuses on his works in sciences and mathematics and only a few studies carry out on his contribution on philosophy due to the lack of the primary sources. The only known surviving Ibn al-Haytham’s work on philosophy is Kitāb Thamarah al-hikmah. However, few studies have examined and explored this work. Based on this work, the present study tries to scrutinize Ibn al-Haytham’s epistemology and focused mainly on his classification of knowledge. The comparative study of Ibn al-Haytham’s classification of knowledge and that of al-Fārābī’s, Ibn Hazm’s, Tūsī’s, and al-Ghāzālī is also carried out. The result shows that Ibn al-Haytham has two mode of classifications: the ontological and epistemological. It is also obvious that Ibn al-Haytham tries to integrate Greek philosophy and sciences within the worldview of Islam. The results of the present study also suggests that the nexus between the concept of classification of knowledge and the concept of perfect man (al-insāan al-tāmm) is obvious.
