With the aim of exploring today’s world-changing sciences and technologies in the domain of computing, we have taken a step forward to unite with scholars, industry professional, logical thinkers, and problem-solvers through ComSpective the ICT Technical Magazine presented by the Faculty of Computing, Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka. The first issue of the bi-annual Magazine was launched in February 2021 in parallel to the 25th Anniversary Celebrations of the SUSL. ComSpective provides a brilliant opportunity for individuals who wish to contribute to the knowledge-base through articles on their research investigations, insights, and experiences in the domain of computing. Moreover, the Magazine will certainly encourage students and undergraduates to improve their writing and multimedia-related skills.

For countries to stand out in a technological world where computing expertise is specifically required to thrive with innovations, it is indeed required to have individuals with a coherent education and awareness about novel and updated knowledge. This platform would undoubtedly provide an excellent foundation in inspiring such learning and increasing wisdom.
