Publication Embargo Smart Intelligent Floriculture Assistant Agent (SIFAA)(2021 3rd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2021-12-09) Samaratunge, U.S.S.; Amarasinghe, D.H.L.; Kirindegamaarachchi, M.C.; Asanka, B.L.Technology has become a vital aspect for various functional purposes throughout the world and some industries like floriculture have not adapted technology to solve and facilitate currently facing problems and provide the supply to the demand. Consequently, we have identified and implemented a solution that will address major aspects of such industry barriers. To address these major aspects we proposed a system Smart Intelligent Floriculture Assistant Agent (SIFAA), which uses expert knowledge with solutions and guideline such as identify diseases based on deep learning techniques. It also suggests remedies for diseases based on the expert knowledge, recommend best products for customers by using Reinforcement Learning (RL) technique, motivate cultivators by using demand forecasting, and apply feature engineering by using Linear Regression (LR) and ensemble advance LightGBM Regressors techniques.Publication Embargo Personalized Assistive Learning System for Primary Education(2021 3rd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2021-12-09) Yapa, Y.M.T.S.; Fernando, W.S.I.; Sampath, W.H.M.K.; Kodithuwakku, K.D.D.I.; Samaratunge, U.S.S.; Lunugalage, D.Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, almost all educational institutions, including schools, remain closed. This caused a dramatic change in the educational systems. The sudden shift away from the classroom made the profound transformation of the teacher-centered education system prevail so far; consequently, the education of primary level students has been collapsed. Therefore, the primary students from grades 1 to 3 cannot acquire the primary education given by the school. This research proposes a personalized assistive learning system for primary education from grade 1 to 3 students, aiming to improve their learning skills. The proposed system aims to increase the automation and self-learning of students. A novel method is proposed to acquire personalized course materials for students of grades 1 to 3 according to their knowledge level. The system is founded on a solid theoretical foundation and enables children to grow cognitive and psycho-therapeutic skills such as drawing, writing, recognizing numbers, enabling self-learning, and focusing on measuring the progress of the students and reporting it to parents. CNN is the primary classifier used in image recognition and classification tasks in computer vision. The components' median accuracy is 94.74%.Publication Embargo Optimization of Microservices Security(2021 3rd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2021-12-09) Kalubowila, D.C.; Athukorala, S.M.; Tharaka, B.A.S.; Samarasekara, H.W.Y.R.; Samaratunge, U.S.S.Microservices is a trending architecture, and due to its demanding features and behaviors, billions of business applications are developed based on it. Due to its remarkable ability to deploy and coordinate containerized microservices, Kubernetes deployments support the service mesh architectures, and that ensures secured inter-service communication. The Istio is the widely used service mesh tool at present. However, service-to-service communication happens in the present Istio architecture, and there is a probability of exchanging unauthorized and over-provisioned requests due to incorrect implementation. Currently, these requests are verified within the upstream microservice. Obtaining a response to an erroneous request may take considerable time latency. This research thereby aims to address a solution to reduce the latency of a response by implementing an external validation model. The proposed external validation model ensures that the required parameters are validated and actions are taken before requests reach the service level. External validation enables applications to save significant time and resources.Publication Embargo Intelligent Violence Video Detection System(2021 3rd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2021-12-09) Jayasanka, H.K.B.; Jayasanka, B.M.R.D.; Diyunuge, K.D.C.D.R.; Jayasekara, T.H.D.Y.M.; Lunugalage, D.; Samaratunge, U.S.S.Due to the busy and stressful lifestyle, humans tend to feel frustrated frequently. This harmful emotional behavior results in violations of several rules, regulations and legislation. Violence is one of the serious issues which emerges due to this situation. It also results in uncontrollable human behavior. This behavior can either be verbal arguments or even physical conflicts. A trend of recording and publishing videos related to these kinds of violations in various platforms can be observed widely at present. Therefore, the terms and conditions of these platforms are subjected to frequent changes. Difficulty in identifying and controlling of violent events will result in an increase of such cases. Due to these reasons, the demand for violence detection systems will be significantly increased. Efficient violent detection systems are lacking currently. But, the usage of artificial intelligence in these systems are further limited. Four major components have been used to achieve this goal. They are video-based, embedded audio-based, abused textbased and thumbnail-based violence detection. The machine learning and image processing techniques are used along with these components to improve the clarity of violence detection.Publication Embargo Database Scaling on Kubernetes(2021 3rd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2021-12-09) Perera, H.C.S.; De Silva, T.S.D.; Wasala, W.M.D.C.; Rajapakshe, R.M.P.R.L.; Kodagoda, N.; Samaratunge, U.S.S.; Jayanandana, H.H.N.C.Kubernetes is a hot topic in the field of Software Engineering and Distributed Computing. When compared to previous methods, the principle underlying Kubernetes, which is containerization, has altered how applications are created and delivered. However, when considering the state, particularly the databases, with Kubernetes, there is a scalability and data synchronization barrier. The most frequently used approach is to host the database outside of Kubernetes and maintain connectivity with the cluster. Kubernetes inherent capabilities are sufficient for hosting databases. But that requires high domain knowledge to do the configurations and maintain the databases on Kubernetes. The purpose of this research is to fulfil that gap by introducing a solution for managing highly available databases on Kubernetes. The solution is limited to managing PostgreSQL databases on Kubernetes using auto-scaling. A novel algorithm is proposed for auto-scaling, as previous algorithms do not take database requests into account when determining the scaling need. The drawbacks of data synchronization and auto-scaling will be solved in this research, and the end user will be able to access the service without interruption for the majority of the time, as the final solution makes the database cluster highly available for the service layer.
