Message From the Dean
Faculty of Engineering
I am happy to learn that the Department of Computer Engineering is organizing its 5th annual student
symposium “ESCaPe 2020” on 29th May 2020 and that a proceeding is being published on this occasion too. This
year they will be organizing this symposium as a webinar with two keynote addresses, several research articles of
the final year undergraduates and participation of many computer professionals.
With the COVID 19 pandemic, the whole world today is focusing more on online systems to run basic
facilities, the thematic areas of this Webinar: software and systems, embedded systems and computer architecture,
networking and machine learning and data mining, etc. are both timely and important. So I have no doubts that
this webinar will be an excellent forum for both the computer professionals and the future computer engineers
to clarify any issues they have on these selected themes. I take this opportunity to congratulate the organizers of
this webinar for providing a platform for a discussion on these timely topics through this event. Finally, I wish the
webinar a great success.
Prof. Herath,
Dean,
Faculty of Engineering,
University of Peradeniya.
