The Conference on Innovative Technologies in Intelligent Systems & Industrial Applications (CITISIA) was inaugurated in 2007 by a group of academics from Monash University, spearheaded by Arosha Senanayake to fulfil a life-long ambition and provide a platform where researchers at all stages of maturity could showcase innovation and disruptive ideas. Like many pioneers in his field, he was guided by the idea that
“disruptive ideas are the vehicles that propel humankind towards a range of bold, possible futures from which it may choose the best possible options”.
(Arosha Senanayake, n.d.)
