    Intelligent System to Verify the Effectiveness of Proposed Teacher Transfers Incorporating Human Factors
    (IEEE, 2022-02-23) Karunanayake, V; Wanniarachchi, J. C; Karunanayake, p; Rajapaksha, S
    A data center architecture can be determined as the basic structure of a cloud computing data center. However, the expected outcome cannot be obtained even though the tools, technologies, and elements are advanced. It is crucial to select the right architecture as architecture used, which directly affects the operational cost and power consumption of the data center. The SDN, Software Defined Networking, is a novel technology of cloud computing. This SDN is used to separate the control panel and forwarding plane as well, as it enables programmable network components. Therefore, the components of the SDN can easily control and managed. This research aimed to select an SDN-based architecture for a data center. Here, there are two parameters of average throughput and average packet delay on the three existing architectures that are tested using simulation. Then the results are compared with each other. In this research, the accuracy correlations among average packet delay and average throughput are investigated. The Obtained results show that Fat-Tree architecture is the best one among VL2 and hybrid architecture consists with flat tree and VL2 technology in terms of their performances.

    Novel Sprinter Assistive Smart Agent for Continuous Performance Improvement
    (IEEE, 2021-04-06) Subhashana, H; Bandara, C; Bandara, I; Devindi, A; Kuruwitaarachchi, N; Dharmasena, T
    In the field of Sports, sprinting is the term used for introducing running over a short distance in a limited time. To date, a method to identify whether sprinters are getting enough speed during the accelerated period is not available so far. This paper proposes a smart agent to recognize the technical precision and performance of a sprinter using wireless hardware devices and a software solution. Smart shoe, track sensor, arm motion detection bracelet are the devices used to collect data from a sprinter. After required data collecting is complete the based web application provides feedback to the sprinter to improve sprinting techniques. This modern technology based system reduces human errors and workload of a trainer and would be highly beneficial for the sports community including coaches and sprinters as it could be accessed through mobile phones. The results of the study show the visualization of sprinter data effectively and an analysis on the obtained data regarding the performance.

    An AI based Chatbot to Self-Learn and Self-Assess Performance in Ordinary Level Chemistry
    (IEEE, 2020-12-10) Mahroof, A; Gamage, V; Rajendran, K; Rajkumar, S; Rajapaksha, S, K; Wijendra, D
    Education is one of the fast-growing fields in the global perspective. Advancement of technology can be used in this sector to provide an effective and a valuable education system. In general, the students are more attracted to displays rather than the textbooks. In Sri Lanka, there is an inadequacy of resources and teachers cannot provide one on one attention to the students. Sri Lanka is not equipped with any platform to self-learn or self-evaluate their performance using an application either. Fortunately, “Edubot” acts as a solution for the stated research gap by providing a self-learning and self-evaluating AI based chatbot platform for Ordinary Level students in Chemistry domain. The self-learning component will provide the students a classroom environment by providing interactive tutorials. Explanatory responses would be given by Edubot by capturing doubts raised by the students and the self-evaluating component will provide an exam-based environment in which the Edubot auto generates the question and answers. The research finding shows that each component has an accuracy of more than 70 percent and helps to achieve the main goal of increasing the resources available to the ordinary level students in the Chemistry domain. This would then lead to an increase in the pass rate of the chemistry subject in the G.C.E Ordinary Level exam.

    Cybersecurity and Network Performance Modeling in Cyber-Physical Communication for BigData and Industrial IoT Technologies
    (IEEE, 2019-07-26) Sen, S; Jayawardena, C
    The information and networking technology have been revolutionized with the inception of recent evolution of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and the Internet of Things (IoT). The next generation distributed computing systems i.e., CPS and IoT are highly interconnected and deeply embedded with the physical world. By capitalizing the advantages and opportunities of these technologies, Industrial-IoT has been fueling smart industrial processes. The execution and application of these processes generate huge amount of data, which leads the distributed computing systems to carefully consider information and data management reliably and securely; also facilitating the necessary automation as well as ensuring timely information exchange. But the current internet doesn't guarantee the network performance and secure transportation; in addition the physical systems are becoming more insecure when interconnected to the cyber systems. These bottlenecks are leading to the necessity of improving performance and security in the cyber-physical communication. Considering those pervasive requirements, this paper has modeled network performance as well as system security with a view to improve these components which could heel the reliable cyber-communication challenges.

    Reliability and Cybersecurity Improvement Strategies in Wireless Sensor Networks for IoT-enabled Smart Infrastructures
    (IEEE, 2019-10-18) Sen, S; Jayawardena, C
    IoT-enabled smart applications and infrastructures use low power wireless sensor networks widely. But due to low energy and lack of computing capabilities, the comprehensive use of such devices result in reliability and security vulnerabilities. Therefore, the lower capability of sensor devices need to operate wisely with careful technical considerations to maximize their capabilities. This paper proposes a new technique to improve reliability and cybersecurity by balanced use of sensor energy while maintaining the quality of communication. The simulation result shows that the strategy proposed is effective. A hacking strategy has also been detailed so that the security experts can consider those while designing a security suite for IoT-enabled infrastructures.
