Publication Embargo A framework for Business Process Re-engineering to reduce the number of processes-a case study of National Blood Transfusion Services(IEEE, 2016-03-11) Jayakody, A; Pemarathna, H. P. P. A; Lokuliyana, S; Mapa, N. TBlood Donation and Blood Transfusion Services play a vital role in saving people's lives. It is a known concern that the blood donation process usually consumes a lot of time and effort from both donors and medical staff. This issue is present, mainly due to the absence of a concrete and precise information system. If such a systems is implemented it could have the ability to allow donors and blood donation centers to communicate efficiently and collaborate with each other to minimize the time and effort required for the blood donation process. Besides, most blood banks work in isolation and are not integrated with other blood donation centers, which affect and degrade the quality of overall blood donation and blood transfusion services. This work aims at developing a standard framework named as “One Blood” based on business process re-engineering concepts, cloud storage services, and web application development technologies. This paper comprehensively describes the conceptual framework based on a case study of National Blood Transfusion Services in Sri Lanka. As a result, several pitfalls, highly critical processes, and points of failure were identified, which needs to be redefined. Improving the workflows and organizing the processes was conducted by the application of BPR concepts followed by the proposed framework. To further amplify the application of BPR two additional verticals namely Process Re-Organization and Radical Redesign was aligned with the Process Re-engineering phase. Process Re-Organization performs the comparing and contrasting of manual and systematic approaches while Radical Redesign enables the chance to leverage IT related technologies to achieve integration and automation of processes. The outcome of this research was presented as a cloud-based centralized web solution for the NBTS using the One Blood System by the integration of all of these concepts and technologies.Publication Embargo A survey: IoT enable framework for water quality measurement and distribution(IEEE, 2018-08-08) Lokuliyana, S; Jayakody, A; Bandara, N. B. R. P; Deshapriya, J. W. P; Kavinda, P. C; Wijewickrema, T. LReal-time water quality detection consists of a great practical significance and also it led to management of precious water resources. This paper suggests an IoT enabled framework that analyses, monitor, report, maintain and distribute the physical and chemical properties of water. pH is how acidic or alkaline the water is one parameter that used to analyze the quality of water (7 in pH scale is neutral) apart from this chemical factor, two physical factors are considered in analyzing. Turbidity the measurement of how particle suspended in water, which led to lower the dissolved oxygen, reduce the photosynthesis of aquatic plants. Temperature is the other property, this caused by air temperature, groundwater inflows, exposure to sunlight. The authors examine through various existing implementations and research on such system and attempt to provide an overview of the research gaps and research problems available enabling further pathways.
