ICACT 2020

International Conference on Advances in Computing and Technology (ICACT) - 2020

The 5^thInternational Conference on Advances in Computing and Technology (ICACT) – 2020, organized by the Faculty of Computing and Technology (FCT), University of Kelaniya was successfully held as an online conference on 28^th of November 2020. The theme of the conference was “Conquering Global Challenges through Innovations in Computing, Technology, and Education”. There were more than 90 research papers implying a very good international participation representing 15 countries including Sri Lanka. And there were papers from almost all the state Universities of Sri Lanka, and also from some private higher educational institutes as well.
