The 5th International Conference on Advancements in Computing (ICAC 2023) concluded with remarkable success. ICAC was organized by the SLIIT Faculty of Computing for the 5th consecutive time, with the technical co-sponsorship of IEEE Sri Lanka.
ICAC has been indexed in reputed citation databases such as Google Scholar and Scopus. While ICAC continues to serve as a platform for national and international researchers to showcase their research output, network, and initiate collaborative work, this year’s conference is especially focused on how research in the field of computer science and information technology could strengthen economic sustainability in both local and global contexts. This year, ICAC 2023 received 489 submissions from local and international authors. After a rigorous blind review process, only 33% of the submissions were selected for oral presentations at the conference. ICAC 2023 was held on 7th and 8th December 2023 at the Waters Edge Hotel, including two keynote speeches by Prof. Kazuo Kiguchi, from Kyushu University, Japan, and Prof. Roshan Ragel, University of Peradeniya, 29 technical sessions, and 2 workshops on cutting-edge topics in computing. The event was sponsored by IEEE, SLASSCOM, Curtin University, SLIIT Research & International, Epic Lanka, Senfin, ICC, and Ceylex Pvt Ltd.
