THE 2024: Persian Gulf University among the top six universities in Iran in the international Outlook
Times Higher Education (THE) revealed the World University Ranking 2024 showing a stunning improvement in the rank of PGU amongst Iranian universities in the indicator International Outlook compared to the 2023 ranking. Proudly, PGU ranks #6 in the International Outlook amongst the 75 Iranian universities in THE's World University Ranking 2024. With a score of 38.2 in the international Outlook indicator, PGU is in the same class as the University of Nevada (USA), Istanbul University (Turkey), Universidad de Valladolid (Spain) and Montana State University (USA).
It is noted that Times Higher Education (THE) is one of the most recognized ranking systems that evaluates universities from all around the world using indicators of research quality, industry, international outlook, research environment, and teaching, and evaluates universities in several competitive groups such as young universities, Asia Universities. It is worth mentioning that Persian Gulf University has managed to stabilize its global position in engineering and technology (Rank 800-1000) and the overall ranking of the 2024 global ranking (1201-1500).
Presently, 5% of PGU’s full-time students are international and from several countries including India, Nigeria, Madagascar, Iraq, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, studying at bachelor's, master's, and doctorate levels. Additionally, students from more than 32 countries have been participating in short-term educational programs held by PGU. In recent years, academic staff and student exchange contracts, memorandums of understanding, sabbatical leaves, and international research activities of Persian Gulf University have grown significantly, resulting in more than 46% of publications with the collaboration of international institutions, and more than 30 active MoUs with different countries.
Based on the result of the universities ranking of D8 group countries in 2022; Turkey with 166 universities, Iran with 80 universities, and Indonesia with 60 universities have the most universities in this ranking.
According to the list announced by the Islamic World Science Citation Database (ISC), Persian Gulf University, jointly with the Urmia University of Technology, was ranked 279th in the 2022 ranking of the universities of the D8 group countries, one step up from the last year. There are 496 universities in the ISC ranking system from 8 countries.
It is worth noting that, in this ranking more than 1622 organizations have been evaluated, and only 496 universities from 8 Islamic countries were able to reach the initial condition which was the publication of at least 150 documents in the InCites database during the period of 2018-2020.

More Description
Enabling Digital Twin Through A Distributed Visual Based Asset Positioning and Tracking System via Edge-AI
The next generation of industry is shifting towards collaborative, autonomous systems that operate safely and efficiently in dynamic and unstructured environments. Key enablers for the implementation of Industry 5.0 include applications such as smart logistics, human-in-the-loop, digital twin, and real-time decision-making. Accurate localization and tracking of assets are becoming essential components for all of these enablers. For instance, a digital twin technology that creates virtual representations of physical assets must be continuously monitored and updated in real-time based on the corresponding asset's location and status to achieve optimal performance and support decision-making.
Although Global Positioning Systems (GPS) have been widely used as a positioning technology in many application domains, its high cost and reduced accuracy in indoor environments have become significant limitations. To address these limitations, many researchers have justified the use of visual-based localization systems as a more cost-effective and accurate technology.
Visual-based localization systems can offer higher accuracy than GPS, as they can utilize advanced image processing techniques to identify and track objects in real-time. With the increasing availability of high-resolution cameras and advancements in edge-AI technology, visual-based localization systems are becoming an increasingly attractive solution for indoor applications, including asset and operator identification and tracking. By utilizing edge computing, the system minimizes network load and latency, while distributed implementation enables seamless monitoring of multiple assets across different locations.
This study is going to propose a distributed vision-based localization system that utilizes the power of edge-AI. As factories often have large areas, this system should provide real-time localization and tracking of assets using multiple cameras distributed throughout the area. The system is designed to identify objects and track their movements in real-time, while also minimizing network load and delay by processing data at the edge. The final goal of this study is to provide a secure and accurate localization system within a large-scale factory environment, while minimizing network load and latency.
Regarding the progress of Persian Gulf University, especially in the international outlook, the Iraqi Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research has included Persian Gulf University in the list of verified universities for Iraqi students studying abroad.
