Abstract: Educational Services is important since it affects all students practical life. The manual academic advising suffers from many drawbacks as knowledge of advisors, awareness of course contents and how to capture the student preference. Academic advising is a process for helping to define the proposed subjects to be registered. Academic advising also includes student guidance and transfer cases. Case based Reasoning (CBR) is one of the automated techniques that can be used for converting the manual process of academic advising into automated one. This paper proposes an automated technique that proposed the student with the most suitable major in his case. The user feed the system with a group of cases in each available department. The mechanism converts the individual course into a group of concepts and enables matching of similarities between concepts of different courses. The proposed technique will be beneficial for transfer cases between major. Based on the system recommendation, the

Abstract: Urban population density is one of prime determinants and a measure of spatial structure of a city. Theoretically and empirically shown general trend of growth of cities over time is that they are becoming more ‘flat’ decentralizing its residential population and have a tendency for suburbanization. This paper examines the evolution of spatial structure of world heritage city of Kandy, Sri Lanka focusing its growth phases, spatio-temporal change of population density distribution and testing the general hypothesis of world city expansion for its future planning considerations. A series of concentric zonal density maps were produced by using population density statistics with the help of ARCGIS 10.2 version to visualize population density shifting process over the time. Negative exponential growth model was employed to quantify the density gradients over the time. Results reveal that high density concentric zones are closer to the city center until 1991 and gradually shifting to the per
