    Analysis of Searching Algorithms in Solving Modern Engineering Problems
    (IEEE, 2021-08-11) Rathnayake, B. R. M. S. R. B.; Marzuk, H; Senadheera, R. I. A; Vijeyakumar, S; Abeygunawardhana, P. K. W
    Many current engineering problems have been solved using artificial intelligence search algorithms. To conduct this research, we selected certain key algorithms that have served as the foundation for many other algorithms present today. This article exhibits and discusses the practical applications of A*, Breadth-First Search, Greedy, and Depth-First Search algorithms. We looked at several recent research publications on these algorithms (for example, maze solver robots, the eight-puzzle problem, medication prediction, and travel advice) and critically examined their benefits, drawbacks, and challenges. We’ve also done some experimentation with a Python application to see how well these algorithms perform.

    Problems and prospects of utilizing canal banks to enhance the built-environment in Colombo
    (NSF, 2003-07-27) Perera, R
    Waterfronts are assets that enhance the quality of built-environment in urban areas. They are used as public and recreational spaces in many cities around the world. However, cities and towns in Sri Lanka most often turn their back to water bodies. Colombo has environmental assets in the form of a sea front, a lake and a canal network, yet not much attempt has been made to utilize their potential to enhance the quality of environment of the city until recent times. The lake is being rehabilitated while the canal network has already been rehabilitated under externally funded projects. It is observed that the rehabilitated canal network is fast falling back to its previous state of stagnation and pollution due to non-utilization of improved canals and banks. This paper focuses attention on possible strategies to sustain their improved environmental quality in order to enhance the built-environment of the city
