Agent negotiations for iImproving quality of solutions from multiple perspectives

Srimal, MDW; Karunananda, AS [Conference-Abstract]

-Most of the real world problems can be solved using more than one method which may return slightly different solutions. For instance, statistical techniques artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic and genetic algorithm ...
Air-conditioners condensate recovery system for buildings

Siriwardhena, K; Ranathunga, S [Conference-Full-text]

Most conventional cooling systems produce water as a byproduct, which can be recovered and put to good use. In order to product cool air from a compressed refrigerant, a set of coils allow a hot, high-pressured refrigerant ...
Aligning ontologies using multi agent technology

Rajakaruna, GM; Karunananda, AS; Jayalal, S [Conference-Abstract]

Modern information systems extensively use ontologies to model domain knowledge. With the large amount of already available ontologies, there is a high demand for sharing and reusing the knowledge in existing ontologies. ...
Alternatives to delay premature failure of CFRP strengthened reinforced concrete members

Srisangeerthanan, S; Prashanth, M; Amaradasa, PNS; Gamage, JCPH [Conference-Full-text]

This Study was focused on identifying and proposing alternatives such that premature debonding failure of CFRP strengthened reinforced concrete members in flexure is delayed. Two of our proposed alternatives were investigated ...
Analogue driven handling of emergent complexity

Thilakarathne, DJ; Karunananda, AS [Conference-Abstract]

Complexity Science has noted as the next evolution of the science in which the main idea is a global emergent behavior, which is resulting from the interaction between its local, dynamic, complex, interconnected, ...
Analysis and design of telecommunication towers for earthquake loading in Sri Lanka for sustainability

Gunathilaka, AMLN; Lewanagamage, CS; Jayasinghe, MTR [Conference-Full-text]

Large number of telecommunication towers has been constructed in Sri Lanka during last few decades with the rapid development of telecommunication sector in the country. These towers play a significant role especially in ...
Analysis of factors affecting business to business relationship between telecommunication operators and vendors in Sri Lanka

Sardana, GD; Dasanayaka, SWSB [Conference-Abstract]

The main purpose of this paper is to identify and analyze factors that affect business to business relationships between telecommunication operators and vendors in Sri Lanka. This study is based on two models developed in ...
Analysis of Settlement Monitoring Data to Assess the State of Primary and Secondary Consolidation of Soft Organic Soil Deposits

Premalal, RPDS; Jayasinghe, TWASL; Indrachapa, KRTH; Thilakasiri, HS [Conference-Full-text]

Organic soil deposits under road embankments may cause consolidation settlement problems during the serviceability stage. It is not feasible to design road traces on such soil deposits using the traditionally used most ...
Applicability of HCM 2000 to Determine the Level of Service in Urban Arterial Roads, Sri Lanka

Mampearachchi, WK; Jayasuriya, WWC; Senaratne, SAMANI; Sumanathissa, RPP [Conference-Full-text]

Abstract: The objective of this research is to identify the applicability of Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) to determine the Level of service in urban minor arterial roads in Sri Lanka. HCM has been developed by the ...
Application of 3d CFD model to analyses thermal comfort of an underground built environment

Gunasekara, CGS [Conference-Full-text]

Kotmale underground hydro electric power generating station is the first ever built underground structure (hydro electric power station) in Sri Lanka, which was commissioned in 1988. This hydro power station is situated ...
Application of concurrency in delay claims

Baduge, S; Jayasena, HS [Conference-Abstract]

It was observed that the consideration of concurrency in delay claims in Sri Lankan construction industry is significantly low. A study was conducted to identify key reasons for low consideration of concurrency in delay ...
Application of continuous wavelet transformation method in estimation of model properties

Wijesundara, KK [Conference-Full-text]

Continuous wavelet transform (CWT) has recently emerged as a promising tool for identification of modal properties such as natural frequencies, damping ratios and mode shapes through ambient excitation measurements of ...
Application of GPR in urban utility detection ranging and characterization

Hebsur, AV; Muniappan, N; Rao, EP; Venkatachalam, G [Conference-Full-text]

Keeping track of underground utilities through maps or real physical signs is essential for their maintenance and quick repairs, whenever required, without causing much obstruction to day to day life. It is not uncommon ...
Application of remote sensing and GIS techniques for exploring construction material from inaccessible terrains; case study in Eastern Province of Sri Lanka

Premasiri, HMR; Colombage, HCDP; Palamakumbure, D; Kodippili, TKA; Wickramasekara, KT; Abeysinghe, AMKB; Chaminda, SP [Conference-Full-text]

Demand for construction materials in the North and Eastern provinces of Sri Lanka has risen significantly due to accelerated construction work in progress to restore the destroyed infrastructures during the civil war. ...
Application of resilience concept for enhanced management of water supply systems

Amarasinghe, P; Barnes, P; Egodawatta, P; Goonetilleke, A [Conference-Full-text]

This paper presents an approach to developing indicators for expressing resilience of a generic water supply system. The system is contextualised as a meta-system consisting of three subsystems to represent the water ...
Application of sound propagation (in the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea)

Mosaddad, SM [Conference-Full-text]

As it is a real concept in nature, more than 70% of the earth surface is covered by water such as Seas and oceans. Surface water on the earth is linked together. Knowing phenomena and organisms underwater has been a purpose ...
Application of vacuum consolidation for sustainable transport infrastructure

Rujikiatkamjorn, C; Indraratna, B [Conference-Full-text]

A system of vertical drains combined with vacuum preloading to accelerate soil consolidation by promoting radial flow is an effective method. In this paper, the analytical modelling of vertical drains incorporating vacuum ...
Approaches for capacity building for disaster waste management

Karunasena, G; Amaratunga, D; Haigh, R [Conference-Full-text]

Natural disasters such as Fukushima earthquake and tsunami in 2011, Haiti earthquake in 2010, Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 were evident for large volumes of waste generated overwhelming existing ...
