  • Sthithika: distributed complex event processing with query rewriting 
    Dilrukshi, T; Ranathunga, S [Conference-Full-text]
    This paper presents the STHITHIKA distributed Complex Event Processing (CEP) system, which is focused on the problem of optimally processing a large number of different event streams using a large number of CEP queries in ...
  • Enhancing the capabilities of approaching to service scenarios and settling for intelligent wheelchair robots 
    Vadivel, H; Priyanayana, KS; Jayasekara, AGBP [Conference-Full-text]
    Wheelchairs are the evaded partner in the lives of many differently-abled people to support their day-to-day activities. Manual and powered wheelchairs fail to meet the docking behavior for a specific task on the table. ...
  • Quadcopter disturbance estimation using different learning methods 
    Atapattu, S; De Silva, O; Mann, G; Gosine, R [Conference-Full-text]
    Precise modeling of quadcopter dynamics is challenging due to the complex nature of its construction, aerodynamic effects, friction at rotors, and wind effects involved. In general analysis, these unmodeled dynamics are ...
  • An Artificial Appendage for Swimming Microrobots in Non-Newtonian Fluids 
    Perera, KNM; Amarasinghe, YWR; Dao, DV [Conference-Full-text]
    Micron-scale mobile robots are being widely used in bioengineering applications, such as in a lab-on-a-chip (LOC) device, due to their capabilities of manipulation, sensing and transportation. Shear rate dependency of ...
  • Design and simulation of a 4-dof vibratory gyroscope 
    Konara, KMTMB; Amarasinghe, YWR [Conference-Full-text]
    In this paper, design and simulation of a Multi DoF (Degree of Freedom) Vibratory Gyroscope is presented. Most of the available gyroscopes are vibratory gyroscopes due to their design and fabrication simplicity. But the ...
  • A reflection on assessing learning outcomes 
    Hettiarachchi, MTP [Conference-Full-text]
    Currently adopted assessment practices in the subject module; Design of Steel Structures at the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka are discussed in the context of recent pedagogical ...
  • Atmospheric cold plasma to improve printability of polyethylene terephthalate 
    Sandanuwan, T; Hendeniya, N; Attygalle, D; Amarasinghe, DAS; Weragoda, SC; Samarasekara, AMPB [Conference-Full-text]
    Though paper is still the most common substrate in the printing industry, polymeric substrates are becoming common by the day. Commercially available polymers such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyvinyl chloride ...
  • The effect of deep defects on the efficiency variation of ch3nh3pbi3 perovskite solar cells 
    Adihetty, NL; Ratnasinghe, DR; Attygalle, MLC; Narayan, S; Jha, PK [Conference-Full-text]
    Three-dimensional (3D) halide perovskites as CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 (3D-MAPI) have shown high performance in the perovskite solar cells. However, deep defects due to lattice disorders in the 3D halide perovskite cause to limit ...
