Title: Impact of interactive whiteboards in academic activities Authors: Ruksana, S.L. Fathima. Abstract: Now technology plays a major role in the world. According to that use of digital devices is also one of the main advantages for humans to fulfill their daily needs. There are many digital devices that are used in academic studies to meet academic requirements. So Interactive whiteboards are one of the main advantages for the students who are eager to learn education by using technical devices. So, this study was carried out to explore the impact of using Interactive whiteboards in academics. This research was conducted among information communication technology specialized students in arts and culture, South Eastern University of Sri Lanka at Oluvil. This research explored that interactive whiteboard have a considerable impact on students. When we take higher education, the outcome of learning is more appreciated, and the Interactive whiteboards are used by the students in the lecture hall to make their learning perfect and effective. Interactive boards are impacted studies and improve the progress in their learning and enhance the teaching techniques. Many digital devices used by the students for many purposes include interactive boards that impact student's education and their studies. The main focus of this study is to guide student

Title: OPD-PMMAS: Patient Management and mobile alert System for OPDs in Sri Lankan Hospitals-a prototype Authors: Akmal Jahan, M.A.C.; Subodha, Rathnayake; Kalansuriya., Madhureka.; Faarija, Subair. Abstract: Unorganized crowds and queues of the people are a major issue in the public services and organizations, especially with the increased number in the population. Outdoor Patients Departments (OPDs) of the government hospitals are often observed to have uncontrolled areas of long queues of patients, especially during the peak hours of clinics and in infection seasons. Currently, there are different types of systems and simulation models experienced for the OPD system to manage the patients. The focus of our study is to develop a prototype for managing patients in OPDs to simplify the process of patient inspection, treatment and conveniently managing their time by sending alerts about the current updates of available patients. This prototype introduces the development of a patient information registration and management system for patients and hospital staff, and a Mobile application-based alert system for patients. The system was developed using JAVA and MySQL.The Mobile application-based alert system was developed in JAVA and an Android mobile device was used as the GSM Modem or SMS gateway to send SMS alerts to the specific mobile number within few minutes. The prototype was tested with users from both hospital staff and patients and produced higher user satisfaction after evaluation through demonstration and questionnaires. The proposed prototype will resolve the difficulties patients faced by minimizing the long queues and will further enhance the efficacy of the services provided to the patients by the hospital systems.

Title: Towards robust ubicomp: a comprehensive review on the grand challenges of ubiquitous computing Authors: Boralessa, G.W.Y.S.; Samarasinghe, K.W.A.H.; Ahamed, T.N.; Shafana., A.R.F. Abstract: Ubiquitous Computing is a concept that consists of qualities that enable people to move away from traditional desktop computing systems and toward computer systems, where everything is available and accessible everywhere through various devices while being essentially invisible. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive review of the literature on the challenges of ubiquitous computing with the objective of synthesizing existing knowledge and offering direction for future research. Furthermore, systematic reviews of challenges that obstruct ubiquitous computing's success are scarce. Therefore, this paper carefully reviewed a number of published papers based on their contributions to the body of knowledge in ubiquitous computing and has identified six grand challenges that are critical to the future of ubiquitous computing. Such as social, legal, and ethical Issues, technical issues, architectural issues, human and environmental challenges, security challenges and system maintenance challenges. Since the empirical study, development, and validation of Ubicomp systems are still in their early stages, this may deter practitioners from using solutions from the literature. In that ground, our findings would enable academics and practitioners to construct robust Ubicomp systems with the knowledge transfer from this study. Since our study consolidates the vulnerable challenges in one place, the findings of the study could be readily adapted to overcome challenges when building ubiquitous systems and services.

Title: Assessing the E-commerce websites for performance using automated testing tools Authors: Shafana, A.R.F.; Musfira, A.F.; Naja, M.M.F. Abstract: The number of users accessing an ecommerce website is generally high. The performance of websites to cater to the increased number of concurrent users is inevitable to manage the growing online business needs. The architecture of the company’s website should be robust enough to manage the expected traffic on heavy load. The inability to support the growing customer needs would return frustration that leads to heavy business loss. Therefore, it is mandate for e-commerce websites to perform load testing to assess the robustness of their architecture to support scalability. This study features the assessment of e-commerce websites for its performance based on throughput, availability and response time. The study utilizes Apache JMeter to perform load testing on selected five ecommerce websites in Thailand by emulating customer behaviors at heavy load levels. The paper proposes a methodology that could help future testing practitioners and researchers to perform load testing efficiently.
