    Evolution of Push-Communication Towards the Rich Web-Based Applications
    (Springer, Cham, 2020-11-05) Dissanayake, N. R; Kasthurirathna, D; Jayalal, S
    Push Communication is an integral requirement in modern RichWebbased Applications, to implement the features like push notifications or real-time updates. Aspects like push-communication related concepts and their development technologies – focusing on the roots of them and the rationale behind their advancements – are not collectively discussed in any available forum. An intensive literature survey was conducted on identifying the very roots of the push-communication and its evolution towards understanding the abstract architectural formalism of the push-communication in Rich Web-based Applications, also focusing on the aforementioned aspects. We collected and documented the literature regarding the evolution of the push-communication, for archiving and also for reviewing and comparing the reasoning behind the improvements of them over time. We also tried to capture the knowledge to answer some important questions like is push-communication important and how difficult to integrate push-communication into the Rich Web-based Applications? We expect to study the artefacts identified through the survey to identify the abstract characteristics of the push-communication to realize the integration of the push-communication into the Rich Web-based Applications in the form of Delta-Communication.

    Towards an Abstract Style for True-Push-Communication Enabled Rich Web-based Applications
    (IEEE, 2021) Dissanayake, N. R; Kasthurirathna, D; Jayalal, S
    The Rich Web-based Applications benefit from push-communication to improve the user experience via the features like notifications and real-time updates. Pushcommunication can be implemented as either push-simulation or true-push-communication. There is no abstract architectural style for Rich Web-based Applications to realize how the truepush-communication is integrated. If there is an abstract style for Rich Web-based Applications, which can realize the integration of true-push-communication, it will help reduce the complexity by improving the realization of the run-time configuration of the elements. This ongoing research aims to introduce an abstract hybrid architectural style for Rich Webbased Applications, which can realize the true-pushcommunication. The proposed approach is to extend the style named RiWAArch style to realize how the true-pushcommunication is integrated.

    Unveiling the Current Extent of the Gig Economy Engagement in Developing Asian Countries
    (University of Nigeria Department of Mass Communication, 2025-05-21) Dilmith, C; Jayathilaka, R; Jayalal, S; Devhara, T; Rathnayake, N; Jayasuriya, N
    Background: The gig economy, driven by technological advancements, has shifted the labour market from traditional jobs to mainstream freelance and contract work via online platforms. Statistical evidence highlights the importance of examining gig economy engagement in developing Asian countries, which are key contributors to global platforms. Objective: This study sought to systematically analyse the rise of gig economy engagement in developing Asian countries and its implications for the future of work while providing insights for platform users. Methodology: This study was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, drawing on past research and numerous reliable resources from 1999 to 2024. Results: Findings reveal a growing research focus on the gig economy, particularly since 2016, with a significant increase in publications from 2019 to 2024. This highlights gaps in understanding gig workers' well-being, including stress, quality of life, and gender-specific barriers. Conclusion: Scholars must pay adequate attention to the expanding contributions of the gig economy, considering its potential to reshape workforce dynamics and drive economic innovation. Unique contribution: This study presents a graphical representation that illustrates the evolution of existing scholarly contributions, highlighting key gaps that require further exploration, and emphasises the vital importance of investigating this area. Key Recommendation: Policymakers need to focus on adopting a fair work framework while addressing the underexplored areas of gig workers' experiences and challenges to foster equitable and sustainable growth of the gig economy in developing Asian countries. © 2025, University of Nigeria Department of Mass Communication.
