Long gone are the days when you needed to take a seat with a notepad and a sky-high stack of bills and receipts to figure out your salary, costs, and general budgetary plan. Nowadays there are a wide range of spreadsheets and projects that are intended to make your financial planning that are meant to make a lot easier and more proficient. This study aims to address the complexity of tracking income and expenses by introducing budget tracking application developed as native mobile application using powerful cross platform library React Native for high performance. Based on a literature review on money management applications and questionnaire was conducted to potential foreign and local individuals across the Colombo. Analysis of responses demonstrated the difficulty of budget tracking. The result indicated the need of mobile solution to ease the task. Budget tracking native mobile application with interactive user interface and with handy features would be one of the ideal solutions for the current problem. User centered applications require user feedback by delivering prototype version to the real users. Therefore, Agile Scrum software development methodology is practiced by considering it would be good fit for the application requirements. Native mobile applications are known for its performance, reliability and user friendliness. The author has chosen React Native library in order to develop the proposed system. React Native is cross-platform library that enables developers to implement native mobile applications with advanced user interface while promising native performance and reliability. The mobile application is developed for two main mobile operating systems Android and iOS and the application will be totally free. The author believes solution will make positive impact on people’s day to day life by making use of the budget tracking application’s promising features. Further research may be needed in order to identify other factors that could strengthen the effectiveness of this study.

Abstract: In the current society, mobile games are often used by numerous individuals. It is a well-known fact that in-app purchases are required for many gamers, in order to improve the gaming success and gain competitive advantage among the other players. In the perspective of the developers, in-app purchasing done by the gaming individuals is the main revenue stream, but in the developing countries including the Sri Lankan context, the players do not tend to purchase these, since there is no financial benefit other than succeeding in the game. The other reason for the reluctance of using In-app Purchases is that the credit card details should be provided to purchase them. This is an issue faced by the players by not being able to utilize the total advantages provided by the game. If these purchasing by the players is increased, Mobile Game Developers will be able to gain the opportunity to expand their market and increase their revenues. The solution is to use Virtual Coins instead of Actual Coins, which includes three parties to use the system developed by the organization i.e. the players, the game developers and retail distributors. The process involves a few steps. The retail distributor could assign a discount to the relatively low demanded products, in order to make the sales high. Instead of giving them the monetary discounts, the owner could purchase virtual coins from the portal, and assign those coins instead of the discount, which will be received by the customers who are registered in system. This will increase the sales of the grocery item rather than just giving a discount. The customers could use those coins he/she earned by buying a day-to-day item, to purchase the Gaming Objects (Usually provided by In-app Purchases). This will give the customer to use the money he spent to buy a good/service to purchase gaming benefits, without exposing the credit card. The game developers who use portal API to develop games will be gaining a revenue via the purchases done by the players. The system was developed using the programming languages PHP, HyperText Markup Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), Javascript, C# and technologies such as XAMPP, MySQL, Visual Studio and Unity 3D. This system would undoubtedly be a unique solution facilitated to three arenas of business.

Abstract: In a large company, scheduling and tracking of their vehicles are not an easy process. In Sri Lanka, there are less organized systems for scheduling vehicles in a company. If the business has to manage and track the company vehicles, it takes much effort it takes to plan and manage the calendar. It gets more complicated when scheduling and managing trips with manual process. Global E marketing solution is a leading classified advertising and marketing company. The company prepares and places advertisements on websites, weekly business newspapers, legal papers, magazines, and various monthly directories. They have teams to visit site locations and collect advertisements. In the current business context, human lifestyles have become more and more complex and complicated. People expect to have much easier, simple and productive systems that they can use to achieve their daily needs successfully and effectively This Master’s Thesis defines an implementation of a system which replaces the Global E - marketing solution's manual operating process. “Route-Me” is a mobile app and a web based system for managing vehicles and drivers easily and cost effectively. As the main users of the system are employees, transport manager and drivers more attention is put towards the UI designing. The mobile application is created with feature-rich and eye-catching to enhance the user experience and ease of use. This mobile application is developed using Android and the Web based System is developed using HTML, CSS, PHP and Maria DB (MySQL). This proposed solution has a mobile application and a web based system, which helps to find optimized routes. This solution consists of time windows for drivers to create routes which enable employees to cover more destinations while remaining on the schedule. This has mobile components for on-the-go updates and tracking the route. The objective of this is allowing managers and employees to work together and get maximum efficiency in each operation.

Abstract: Examination or the assessment is the ultimate outcome of the education. Each and every curriculum must be concluded with any kind of assessment. Personal identification in the examination systems of Sri Lanka has been performed by getting the candidate’s identity card and check the relevant details of the candidate. The main issue arises in this scenario is the unique identification of each candidate. This is the major issue arises during the examination period faced by the examiners and their officers in charge of the examinations department. It is a hectic method to use the above-mentioned manual method in recognizing the candidates which is not applicable nowadays. In this dissertation it is suggested the unique identification of the candidate by a system and giving out the details of the candidate without performing manually. The preview image of the candidate has been output through the system with the candidate index number, name and any other relevant details. And also, the exam start time and end time will be noted at the time of recognition. The future system would recognize each student and produce the details such as name in full, Index number required for the exam. Even though they have produced their Identity cards or any other materials to prove their identity there is a possibility to pose a fake candidate on behalf of the real candidate. It is essential to recognize their identity without any failure using a bio metric pattern. This project was implemented as the pilot project for the examination systems in candidate face recognizing process, chosen St. Peter’s College Colombo 4 as the client. Face recognition system initially detects the candidate’s face. The detected face later trains and stores inside the file folder. Training process is the most crucial event in this system. If the training process is not successful face detection will fail to perform. During detection time the system allows the candidates to insert the student name and his/her index number of the examination. Finally, the candidate will be able to scan the face prior to the exam. If the recognition is successful, student name and index number will display during the recognition process and a confirmation quote ‘Your Face Recognized’ also displays. Otherwise it displays ‘Your Face not Recognized’. OpenCV/Python suite is being used for developing this face recognition system. The object oriented and structural patterns have been used.CV2, PIL, NumPy,Pickle,OS libraries of image processing used in the face detection, face training and face recognition processes. SQLite is the database management system, stored all data of the candidates. The face recognition system developed from scratch as the stand-alone system in the windows environment. Around fifty to sixty users participated in the evaluation process. The goals of the project achieved successfully. According to the User evaluation feedback, implemented face recognition system for examinations fulfills the requirements of the examination management system in Sri Lanka.
