The importance of knowledge creation and sharing is well understood in the knowledge society. Academicians and researchers across the world sweat for making a better world; conduct research, attempt quality publications, meet other scholars at research forums to share knowledge, etc. Yet factors are hindering the target. Over the decades, it had been observed that a large number of published research articles are erroneous due to a lack of knowledge in quantitative research. Institute of Mathematics and Management(IMM) is determined to fill the knowledge gap; take the initiative to conduct the conference along with the "Workshop in Data Analytics".

Call for Papers
Original research papers and review papers in Management, Business Administration, Education, Social Sciences, and related disciplines from Undergraduate and Post Graduate Students, Research Scholars, Faculty, Scientists, etc., are invited for presentation and publication.
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 Economics and Business (JNFEB) or Journal of New Frontiers in Education and Social Sciences (JNFESS) 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:31 January 2023
Submission of Papers
Participants intending to present papers at conferences are requested to submit a soft copy of the abstract.
For participants intending to publish the full paper in journals, JNFEB and JNFESS are requested to submit a soft copy of the full paper within 30 days from the date of the conference.

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, MATLAB/SPSS, and Excel 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.

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 the 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, the 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.
