    Machine Learning-Based Smart Shopping for Visually Impaired
    (2021 3rd International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC), SLIIT, 2021-12-09) Nagenthiran., N.; Priyanha, P.; Nirosha, S.; Vivek., J.; De Silva, H.; Sriyaratna, D.
    There are diverse applications built for the e- commerce platform, each with its own set of advantages. All goods should be relevant to all members of society around the world, but there are people with unique needs who should be considered when technology advancements are made for the common good. People who are blind require particular attention since they require assistance from others. For this research, we referred to several studies with comparable goals and approaches, which our group closely examined to enhance our study and outcomes, and which were highlighted when relevant work was discussed. The purpose of this study is to provide accessibility for all members of society, including the blind, as well as location-based solutions for consumers. These include voice navigation through the app, product suggestions, offering quick paths to the shop location by comparing existing algorithms for identifying short paths and providing a function to give voice feedback. This paper thoroughly examined the findings and provided appropriate evidence to support the answer to the challenge mentioned above. This sort of research will have a beneficial influence on our IT companies' consideration for those who live with specific needs that technology may help them meet.

    SMEs in developing countries need support to address the challenges of adopting e-commerce technologies
    (2007-01-01) Kapurubandara, M; Lawson, R
    Although research indicates e-commerce offers viable and practical solutions for organizations to meet challenges of a predominantly changing environment, the few available studies related to SMEs in developing countries reveal a delay or failure of SMEs in adopting ICT and e-commerce technologies. The various factors identified as causes for the reticence can be broadly classified as Internal Barriers and External Barriers. This paper presents a model for barriers to adoption of ICT and e-commerce based on the results of an exploratory pilot study and survey. It identifies support for SMEs in Sri Lanka at different distinct levels of sophistication in SMEs with regard to ICT and e-commerce. It also determines a strong need for necessary support and discusses the availability of the support. Finally it proposes an initial framework to eTransorm SMEs.

    A Framework to e‐Transform sMEs in developing countries
    (WILEY, 2009-10) Kapurubandara, M
    Research into e-commerce and eTransformation indicates viable and practical solutions from e-commerce for organizations to meet challenges of a predominantly changing economic environment. Much of this research relates to developed countries ready to pounce on new approaches. However, developing countries seem to fall far behind. The few available studies related to SMEs in developing countries reveal a delay or failure on the part of SMEs to adopt ICT and e-commerce technologies. Various factors identified as causes for thisreticence can be broadly classified as Internal Barriers and External Barriers. Exploring the identified barriers further, with an exploratory pilot study and interviews, this paper answersthe question how barriers for adoption of e-commence impact the SMEs at different stages of sophistication. The paper also presents a framework to determine the current stage of an SME on a roadmap, which tracks eTransformation, and assists in overcoming barriers for moving between stages. Proceeding further, it identifies barriers predominant at various levels for different SMEs on the roadmap. Accordingly, SMEs at discrete stages need to be supported differently to suit requirements pertaining to level of ICT Sophistication. The proposed framework is a pointer in this direction to assist SMEs, policy makers and other stakeholders in addressing issues impeding adoption of e-commerce technologies in SMEs in developing countries.
