Item Embargo LexAyudha : Personalized AI-Driven Rehabilitation for Adolescents with Dyslexia and Dyscalculia(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025-07-03) Silva, U; Madusanka, I; Thalangama, T; Dissanayake, T; Thelijjagoda, S; Vidanaralage, A. JDyslexia and dyscalculia, the most common learning disabilities, produce a considerably challenging environment for adolescents and lead to frustration, disengagement, and reduced self-esteem. While assistive technologies with influential functionalities exist, they lack personalization for effective and supportive learning. LexAyudha is an AI-powered platform addressing these gaps by integrating proven medical methodologies such as chromatic variation, Touch Math, and multisensory teaching strategies. Advanced AI technologies like Convolutional and Recurrent Neural Networks have been used in LexAyudha to dynamically adjust reading content, visual layouts, and lesson plans in the gamified app based on students' performances to cater for their requirements. Moreover, a novel emotion recognition algorithm even adjusts difficulty levels of activities and voice output with altered audio features to ensure a stress-free learning process and a stimulating environment. Initial findings based on the user performances tests conducted with the dyslexic and dyscalculia adolescents in Sri Lanka, represents significant improvements in reading fluency, comprehension, and motivation, showing that adaptive learning with AI has the potential to revolutionize learning for dyslexic and dyscalculia students. The research identifies the potential of rehabilitation with AI-driven technology as a flexible and scalable solution for personalized education in dyslexia and dyscalculia.Item Embargo Context-Aware Behavior-Driven Pipeline Generation(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025-04-24) Gunathilaka, P; Senadheera, D; Perara, S; Gunawardana, C; Thelijjagoda, S; Krishara, JAn efficient CI/CD process is crucial for modern software teams, but manual pipeline creation is error-prone and requires high DevOps expertise, slowing deployment speed and reducing productivity. This research introduces a context-aware, behavior-driven approach to fully automating CI/CD pipeline generation by analyzing GitHub user activity patterns.

While previous studies have introduced Pull Request prioritization techniques and predictive models for build failures, they do not offer real-time recommendations based on Pull Request criticality and build stability. This research presents a GitHub app based on reinforcement learning for intelligent Pull Request prioritization and deployment advisory in Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery workflows. T he system combines natural language processing with contextual features to dynamically determine whether a Pull Request should be prioritized for early deployment or flagged for urgent review based on its priority level and associated build failure risk. Due to limited labeled feedback data, the study employs a hybrid approach using supervised learning for initial classification, enhanced by reinforcement learning for continuous adaptation. Using a dataset of 682148 Pull Requests from 28835 repositories, experimental results demonstrate significant improvements in deployment efficiency, achieving 92.01% accuracy in Pull Request classification with strong developer alignment. This research presents a comprehensive solution for optimizing Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery pipelines through intelligent Pull Request prioritization with deployment advisory.Item Embargo DiverseMind: An Integrated Framework for Children with Multi-Dimensional Challenges as Slow Learners(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025-07-03) Jayasundara, H; Neewin, S; Kiriwaththuduwa, C; Herath, R; Krishara, J; Thelijjagoda, SEducation systems worldwide struggle to support slow learners, who face difficulties in traditional classrooms due to learning challenges in writing, mathematics, attention, and memory. Slow learners, characterized by an Intelligence Quotient (IQ) between 70 and 85, require additional time and adaptive learning methods to grasp concepts effectively. However, existing educational frameworks lack comprehensive screening and targeted interventions. This research introduces "DiverseMind", an integrated framework designed to identify and assist slow learners among Grade 4 primary school children in Sri Lanka using advanced Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, image processing, and multi-model architecture. The system evaluates academic abilities through four key assessments of writing skills, mathematical proficiency, attention span, and short-term memory. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based model, achieving a training accuracy of 98% combined with a Python-based weighted condition function, classifies writing accuracy, while Decision Tree (DT) classifiers analyze mathematical capabilities with 98% accuracy. Attention span is assessed using facial landmark detection, gaze tracking, and emotion recognition, where the CNN model trained on 28,709 images achieved a training accuracy of 80%. Short-term memory is evaluated through ML driven cognitive tasks, with the DT model achieving 99% accuracy. In addition to comprehensive assessments and interventions, the system provides a dedicated dashboard for the teachers to monitor the student progress. By integrating gamification and AI-driven learning analytics, "DiverseMind"promotes inclusive education and bridges the gap in support for slow learners, ensuring they receive the necessary resources to reach their full potential.Item Embargo The Multi-Tenant Customization Paradox: Formalising the Intrinsic Conflict Between Scalable Shared Codebases and Tenant-Specific Operational Customization in SaaS Architecture(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2026-07-07) Jayasuriya, R; Piyarisi, T; Awandya, S; Wickramasooriya, S; Thelijjagoda, S; Kasthurirathna, DMulti-tenant Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) architectures promise economies of scale through a single shared codebase serving multiple tenants. However, enterprise tenants increasingly demand deep operational customization (bespoke workflows, domain-specific business rules, and industry-specific computational logic) that fundamentally conflicts with the sharedcodebase constraint. Despite the centrality of this tension to SaaS architecture, no formal definition exists in the literature. This paper formally defines the Multi-Tenant Customization Paradox (MTCP): the structural impossibility of simultaneously maximizing codebase unity and tenant customization depth without incurring costs that grow super-linearly with the number of tenants. We introduce a formal model quantifying this tension through the Paradox Coefficient $P(S)$, establish a five-dimensional customization taxonomy with per-dimension formal measures, derive the Feasibility Region governed by an architectural sophistication parameter $α(B)$, propose an operational rubric for estimating $α(B)$ in practice, and derive an upper bound on the achievable unity-depth trade-off for four canonical resolution strategies. Our formalization demonstrates that the paradox is inherent to the mathematical structure of multi-tenancy rather than incidental to implementation choices, providing architects and researchers with a theoretical foundation for reasoning about customization trade-offs.Item Embargo AI-Driven Integrated Caregiving and Health Monitoring Framework for Elderly Well-Being(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2026-07-22) Nugaliyadde, S; Nikeshi, N; Marasinghe, M; Rajapaksha, C; Rajapaksha, S; Thelijjagoda, SThe rapid growth of the aging population has brought about some serious challenges, particularly in managing illnesses, feelings of loneliness, cognitive decline, and mental health issues. Traditional caregiving methods often depend on occasional assessments and hands-on supervision, which can fall short in providing the ongoing and adaptable support that’s really needed. This paper introduces an innovative caregiving and monitoring framework powered by AI, aimed at offering integrated, real-time, and comprehensive assistance for older adults. The system harnesses the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and health data analytics to combine physical health monitoring, nutrition planning, smart routine coaching, and therapist-led mental health support all in one platform. With features like voice-based conversations and journaling, it makes emotional expression and behavioral analysis more accessible, helping to gain a deeper insight into users’ mental well-being. Predictive analytics and anomaly detection are used to spot early signs of health risks and shifts in behavior, allowing for timely interventions. Plus, remote access means caregivers and healthcare professionals can keep an eye on users and offer informed advice. By shifting caregiving from a reactive approach to a proactive and preventive one, this system not only improves quality of life but also encourages independent living and eases the burden on caregivers.Item Embargo Sustainability Insights: Unveiling the Impact of Business Analytics in Shaping Sustainability Practices in the Apparel Industry(2025) Gajanayake, L; Rajapaksha, D; Rukshan, T; Pathirana, S; Thelijjagoda, S; Pathirana, GThe Sri Lankan apparels industry has a strategic importance for the national economy as the country has been one of the main exports and employers.
