Call for Papers

Original research papers and review papers in Mathematics, Statistics, and related disciplines from Undergraduate and Post Graduate Students, Research Scholars, Faculty, Scientists, etc., are invited for presentation and publication. 

Review Process 

The review process consists, Desk screening and Peer Review as follows; 

Desk Screening

Each manuscript submitted to the conference will be first evaluated by the Editor/Editorial Board. The Editor/Editorial Board has the right to desk review and “desk rejects” the manuscript without sending it out for peer review.

Peer Review            

After an initial evaluation by the Editor/Editorial Board, the manuscript will be sent to two reviewers appointed by the Editor/ Editorial Board. The number of reviewers can be increased if necessary. IMM employs double-blind reviewing – both the reviewer(s) and the author(s) remain anonymous throughout the process. The reviewer(s) will evaluate the manuscript's originality, significance, research design, methodology, presentation of results, and appropriate referencing of relevant past studies. If the reviewer(s) recommend revision, the Editor/Editorial Board may invite the author(s) to revise and resubmit the manuscript based on the comments and suggestions from the reviewer(s). The author(s) need to re-submit the revised manuscript on or before the date announced by the Editor/Editorial Board. The Editor/Editorial Board will make the final decision on acceptance/rejection based on the final reviewer (s).  

Publication Opportunities 

Abstracts of the papers will be published in Conference Proceedings; Hard copy or E-copy, with ISSN. Selected full papers will be published in the Journal of New Frontiers in Mathematics and Statistics (JNFMS)  with ISSN, within three months from the date of the conference. Conference proceedings will be uploaded to Zenodo and Index to Open AIRE.   

Deadline for Abstract Submission:

Workshop on Data Analytics (WDA)

Instructors: Dr (Mrs.) W. G. Samanthi Konarasinghe, and Major K. M. Udaya Banda Konarasinghe (Retired)

This workshop will be hands-on and driven by examples, using real-life data sets from the fields of; Life Sciences & Health Care, Business & Economics, Finance, Tourism Management, Meteorology, and many more. The intended participants for the course are students and practitioners of a data-driven environment.

Outline and Objectives

The statistical software; MINITAB, SPSS, and R will be the main tools utilized in the workshop, but the previous knowledge in handling the above software is not a must. The entire workshop will be example-driven; therefore participants are encouraged to bring a laptop computer (Windows) for optimum benefit. Instructions for installing the necessary software can be sent to the participants before the workshop or trial versions of software can be provided at the workshop. By the end of the day, participants will have learned; Mathematical/ Statistical Modeling; Introduction to Big Data handling and Programming; Parametric VS Non- parametric Statistics; Descriptive Statistics; Inferential Statistics; Univariate and Multivariate Forecasting. Participants can have direct communication with the instructors (via e-mail or Skype); to get guidance for their future work. 

About the Instructors

Dr.(Mrs.)W.G.Samanthi Konarasinghe, an award-winning Scientist has served as a Statistical Consultant and a Lecturer for more than two decades. She has developed various Mathematical and Statistical Techniques for the world. The Circular Model(CM), Circular Indicator(CI), and Sama Circular Model(SCM)are two of the widely applied techniques whilst the Damped Circular Model(DCM)and Forced Circular Model(FCM) are the recently developed models. Dr.Samanthi has won the Best Paper Award from the International Conference on Advances in Mathematics, Computers & Physical Sciences and the International Conference on Business, Economics, Social Sciences & Humanities for her research findings. She was awarded the“IMRF BEST SCIENTIST AWARD, INDIA” for her invaluable contribution to the field of Statistics. She has been in constant demand due to her new findings, getting invitations from various destinations to share her knowledge as the keynote speaker, invited speaker, etc. at international research forums in Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, India, and Australia. Also, she was the guest of honor and the chief guest of many International research forums.

Dr.Samanthi is a multi-disciplinarian; has obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mathematics; Postgraduate Diploma in Industrial Mathematics; Master of Science in Applied Statistics, Master of Business Administration (MBA), and Doctor of Philosophy in Statistics. Also has the Diploma in Classical Music. She is a member of; American Statistical Association (ASA), Statistical Society Australia (SSA), Institute of Applied Statistics, Sri Lanka(IASSL), and National Science Foundation(NSF), Sri Lanka. She is the Editor in Chief of, Journal of New Frontiers in Mathematics & Statistics; Journal of New Frontiers in Economics & Business; Journal of New Frontiers in Healthcare & Biological Sciences; Journal of New Frontiers in Education & Social Sciences, published by the Institute of Mathematics and Management of Sri Lanka. Also an Editorial board member of the American Journal of Theoretical And Applied Statistics (AJTAS). She is an Advisory member Technical/ Scientific Conference Committee member of the Scientific and Technical Research Association (STRA). Most interestingly, Dr. Samanthi is not only a Scientist but also an Artist; a Violinist, Painter, Writer, Drama producer, and Actress.

Major K.M.Udaya Banda Konarasinghe, an award-winning Scientist has served as a Research Consultant and a Lecturer over the last decade. He is a distinguished researcher in the fields of, Tourism & Hospitality Management; Econometrics; Biological & Healthcare research. He is an expert in Time Series Modelling and Forecasting and made an unparalleled contribution to combating the COVID-19 pandemic. He is an entrepreneur, who has taken initiative to the Institute of Mathematics and Management, Sri Lanka which provides a unique service in Education and Research. The Sama Circular Model (SCM) is a recent development in the field of Stochastic Modelling. The SCM is capable of capturing all the components(Trend, Seasonal, and Cyclical) of a time series with the least effort. Especially the SCM separates many seasonal and/or cyclical behaviors in a time series. It had been widely applied in the fields of Finance, Economics, Tourism & Hospitality, etc., and has proven its superiority among other statistical forecasting methods. Yet the SCM had never been applied in the field of Epidemiology until Major Udaya does in modeling COVID 19 infected cases. He showed that the SCM is the most successful technique in forecasting daily infected cases in many countries. Further, he identified a damped and forced type of oscillations in time series of infected cases under the COVID -19 pandemic. Hence in 2021, Major Udaya and his fellow researcher developed two new forecasting techniques, named “Damped Circular Model and Forced Circular Model”.Major Udaya won the Outstanding Paper Award at the 14th International Conference on Business Management (ICBM), University of Sri Jayawardanapura of Sri Lanka in 2017.

He was invited to share his knowledge and experience as the keynote speaker at international research forums in Germany, Dubai, and Italy and several sessions chaired in Thailand. He is a member of the National Science Foundation (NSF), Sri Lanka. He is the Editorial Manager of, Journal of New Frontiers in Mathematics & Statistics; Journal of New Frontiers in Economics & Business; Journal of New Frontiers in Healthcare & Biological Sciences; Journal of New Frontiers in Education & Social Sciences, published by the Institute of Mathematics and Management of Sri Lanka. He is one of the Reviewer Board Members of the International Journal of Statistics and Mathematics, Premier Publishers, Nigeria.
