The Faculty of Computing, University of Sri Jayewardenepura, successfully conducted the second pre-symposium workshop of the 1st Jayewardenepura Computing Symposium (JCoS) 2026, titled “Bayesian Computing and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) Algorithms.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop was facilitated by Prof. Saman Muthukumarana, Head of the Department of Statistics, University of Manitoba, Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The session introduced participants to the theoretical foundations and practical applications of Bayesian computing, with a particular focus on Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms and their role in statistical sampling and inference. Participants also explored Bayesian networks, Dirichlet process models, and other contemporary Bayesian methodologies that are widely applied in data science, machine learning, and scientific research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop provided an excellent opportunity for students, academics, and researchers to deepen their understanding of advanced computational statistics and engage with current developments in Bayesian methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Faculty of Computing expresses its sincere appreciation to Prof. Muthukumarana for delivering this informative and engaging workshop. We also thank all participants whose enthusiasm and active involvement contributed significantly to the success of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
