This page is an attempt to concatenate useful information about Computer Science in Sri Lanka. If you see something wrong or missing here, please let me know via email. I hope you find this information useful.
Disclaimer: If you have good work, try submitting the manuscripts to globally recognized conference/journal. Getting a paper accepted in such a venue might have a far better impact on your career than submitting to a conference listed here.
If you are planing to publish in one of these conferences, it is always recommended to read the official information about the conference rather than relying on information on third party webpages (like this one). Keep an eye on the deadlines and submission instructions which are posted on their webpages.
In general (=this might not be always true), it is recommended to publish in a conference where the papers will be added to IEEE library or ACM library.

The purpose of maintaining this list is to suggest resource-people for IEEEXtreme promotion events. I have not been competing for many years now. I am out of touch and won't be much of use. You can find the resources I collected or talks I gave when I knew what I was talking about. If you want someone to give a talk, I would suggest (1) winners of recent years, (2) people who are still working on algorithms -- Buddhima Gamlath, Ramith, or (3) people who kept in touch with coding competitions in one way or another -- Varuna.
