Ranasinghe obtained his PhD from University of Wales in Network Performance Modeling. Since then he has expanded his research into distributed systems, GPU computing and natural heuristics for combinatorial optimization. Another of his research interests is looking at models of computing from a holistic viewpoint. He has also served as the deputy director of UCSC. Talk: “The Algorithm Is the Middleware” Abstract: The emergence of very large scale fault tolerant systems is now pervasive and is used as the base of flexible computing power for the user. The talk will discuss the evolution of this scenario and its underlying theoretical basis which provides for rich research experience and emerging applications. Dr. Sankalpa Gamwarige Vice President & General Manager, Zone24x7 Director, SLASSCOM Dr. Sankalpa Gamwarige obtained his PhD from University of Moratuwa in Wireless Sensor Networks. Since then he has contributed immensely to the fields of Electronic Designs and Information Technology (IT), where he works passionately and tirelessly for the betterment of the IT and Knowledge Electronic sector in Sri Lanka through product development, research and publications, advice to policy making for the sector growth, and capacity development. He has also worked at companies such as Motorola Solutions and Millennium IT. Talk: “Importance of Customer Centric R&D to Reach the $5b Target” Abstract: Sri Lanka ICT export industry has gradually evolved over a two decades. As per the records the total export value of this sector is about $800m by end of 2014 with an expectation to reach to $1b by end of this year. Sri Lanka has set very ambitious targets of $5b from ICT exports by 2022. In order to reach to this target local ICT industry has to focus on value than on cost. This will be done by existing companies focusing on Customer centric Product/Solution Engineering and many new startup companies with lean customer centric revolutionary products and solutions. In this back ground whether an establish product/solution company or a startup have to add the Customer Centric R&D to their engineering culture. This has already been practiced at many SLASSCOM member companies. In this presentation speaker will share some of these successful R&D projects and highlight the essence of these R&D teams. -1- AgendaKeynote Speakers [1.5” Binder Spine Insert Title 08:30 – 09:00 Registration Welcome address 09:00 – 09:05 Dr. E.Y.A.

Ramanan with the support of the then Head of the Department of Computer Science, Dr. E.Y.A. Charles and colleagues. The first workshop was held in 2011 and had around 100 participants; while being the first national-level student centered workshop that mainly focused students in Computer Science. The workshop nurtured two keynote speakers and 18 poster presentations. Since then SL-SWCS is conducted as a biennial workshop. Mr. S. Mayurthan (Former CSC student, Department of Computer Science, University of Jaffna) has designed and created the above logo for SL-SWCS. A “Best Presentation” and “Best Poster” prize are awarded to the student participants of SL-SWCS. Each winner receives a cash prize, which is sponsored by the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Melbourne, Australia, through Prof.
