A sad loss for all of us. Prof. V. K. Samaranayake was pioneer in
localization in developing Asia and PAN Localization project partner in Sri
Lanka in the first phase, as the then director of University of Colombo
School of Computing. May his soul rest in peace and his family have
strength and patience to bear this loss.

We will all miss him dearly!

Sarmad
