    Digital Pathways in Smart Tourism: A Systematic Literature Review on Key Drivers of Travelers' Decision-Making
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Karunaratna, D; Senevirathne, C; Fernando, K; Peksha, P; Jayasinghe, P; Samarakkody, T
    This study systematically investigates how digital components including information reliability, accessibility, cost efficiency, virtual reality and mobile adoption influence travelers' preferences in smart tourism. To do this, the study utilizes the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework to aggregate evidence from across the globe - showing both regional technology disparities, and a variety of different methodological approaches. In developed countries, technology integration is quite strong while developing regions face constraints of finance and infrastructure. These tech-centric factors are important to traveler decision-making, as indicated by the review; however, greater coverage of understudied regions is needed. The resulting insights provide the basis for targeted and holistic solutions to improve tourism services for the benefit of policymakers, industry practitioners and academics.

    The Influence of Generative AI on work-life balance among female software professionals in Sri Lanka
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Upeksha, S; Samarasinghe, D.T; Sanochana, M; Samarathunga, S.S; Rajamanthri, L; Samarakkody, T; Aluthwala, C
    This study explores the role of generative artificial intelligence on work-life balance among female software professionals in Sri Lanka's software industry. This qualitative study explores the influence of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools on workload, productivity, and overall well-being to show how these technologies uniquely shape professional and personal lives within this demographic group. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with 15 female software professionals from various job roles, including software engineers, quality assurance engineers, system engineers, Development and Operations (DevOps) engineers, and project managers. Using thematic analysis, findings disclose that generative AI is mostly utilized for automation, communication and collaboration, creativity and innovation, and decision support, with ChatGPT being the most widely used tool. These tools will enable professionals to streamline the workload, increase efficiency, reduce overtime, and maintain healthy working conditions. The insights of this study yield important implications for employers and government organizations such as the Department of Labor, explicitly pointing out how generative AI can be instrumented to create a favorable work environment. Thus, by applying generative AI solutions, the key stakeholders of the Sri Lankan software industry can create work conditions crucial for the work-life balance of women to enhance organizational performance as well as the work-related well-being of female software professionals.
