  • An architecture for advanced proxying based on user requests 
    Fernando, MSD; Dias, G [Conference-Extended-Abstract]
    Much research has been done on issues related to congestion over a data communication link connecting one or more networks to the Internet or a similar network. The main driving force behind such research has been to avoid ...
  • Assessment of slope stabilization techniques through a probabilistic approach 
    Kulathilaka, SAS; Mettananda, DCA [Conference-Extended-Abstract]
    Stabilization of slopes that are unstable, or that do not possess a sufficient safety margin, is a major challenge faced by geotechnical engineers. Different techniques are adopted for the stabilization purpose. In central ...
  • The automation of intelligent scheduling for tournaments 
    Perera, WAJD; Dassanayake, VPC [Conference-Extended-Abstract]
    Currently, the process of scheduling a tournament is hampered to a great extent because it is done manually. This leads to the inefficient use of resources (the most important of which is time) in the development of a ...
