I have been privileged to be a part of beautiful people who have helped me throughout life as a student and a human being. First of all, I would like to pay my sincere gratitude to my advisor, distinguished professor Geoffrey Fox for guiding me throughout the journey as a PhD student. Your expertise and guidance have always been a great strength to improve my research career. In the first three years of my PhD life, the PhD advisory committee, including professor Judy Qiu and Professor Minje Kim has been great mentors to improve myself to achieve goals in my PhD life. I would also like to thank Professor Prateek Sharma and Professor Ariful Azad for being my mentors to guide me throughout the rest of the journey in PhD. Their guidance and expertise were always helpful to me.

Digital Science Center staff and the research team members, including Dr Supun Kamburugamuve, Dr Saliya Ekanayake, Dr Gregor Von Laszewski Dr Jerome Mitchell, Dr Kannan Govindarajan, Chathura Widanage, Dr Ahmet Uyar, Dr Gurhan Gunduz, Dr Bo Peng, Bo Feng and Miao Jiang have been a great company to enjoy and learn a lot from each other. Also, it's a privilege to work with my fellow PhD students, Pulasthi Supun Wickramasinghe and Niranda Perera, on many research including Twister2 and Cylon research projects. Their suggestions and ideas always motivated me to improve as a researcher.
