  • Scheduling methodology to minimize random customer arrival 
    Kothalawala, KDHA; Samarasekera, NA [Conference-Abstract]
    The main problem addressed by the research is random arrival of customers to pick goods at a product distribution center. Using a Case Study approach, a methodology is developed for scheduling of customer arrivals as a ...
  • Schema-independent scientific data cataloging framework 
    Nakandala, S; Withana, SD; Kumarasiri, D; Jayawardena, H; Bandara, HMND; Perera, S; Marru, S; Pamidighantam, S [Conference-Abstract]
    Modern scientific experiments generate vast volumes of data which are hard to keep track of. Consequently, scientists find it difficult to reuse and share these data sets. We address this problem by developing a ...
  • Simulation of ancient wind-driven iron smelting furnaces of Sri Lanka 
    Kumbalathara, AAK; Liyanage, DD; Witharana, S; Rajika, JKAT; Narayana, M; Fernando, KCN [Conference-Abstract]
    Metal processing industry in Sri Lanka began around 3000BC. Ancient chronicles like Mahavansaya, Thupavansa and Pujavaliya proved the Sri Lanka’s history of metal industry. Archaeometallurgical surveys of Sri Lanka have ...
  • Steady state performance variation of domestic refrigerators under different ambient conditions of Sri Lanka 
    Anjana, HMK; Nimarshana, PHV; Attalage, RA [Conference-Abstract]
    There is a non-negligible variation in climatic conditions in different geographical locations of Sri Lanka. Testing the performance under single climatic condition will not reflect the actual performance of a refrigerator ...
  • A Techno-economic analysis for an integrated solar PV/T system with thermal and electrical storage – case studyt 
    Athukorala, AUCD; Jayasuriya, WJA; Ragulageethan, S; Sirimanna, MPG; Attalage, RA; Perera, ATD [Conference-Abstract]
    A hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) system is having the capability to convert solar energy to both electricity and thermal energy simultaneously and these systems can use to accomplish the energy demand of buildings. ...
  • A Transformer design optimisation tool for oil immersed distribution transformers 
    Amarasinghe, RPWS; Kumara, WGKP; Rajapaksha, RAKG; Rupasinghe, RADK; Wijayapala, WDAS [Conference-Abstract]
