  • Bishop, J.M. (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1986)
    The programming skills taught in first year computer science courses are more difficult to assess than the skills in older science courses because of the very large numbers of students involved coupled with material ...
  • Oluwafemi, Ajayi Gbeminiyi (2021-01)
    In the field of computer vision, multi-class outdoor weather classification is a difficult task to perform due to diversity and lack of distinct weather characteristic or features. This research proposed a novel framework ...
  • Licker, PS; Anderson, R; Macintosh, C; Van Kets, A (2001)
    This research looks into factors that affect the readability of web sites. For those with low literacy skills, low readability may prove to be an insurmountable barrier to profitable, comfortable website use. Two factors ...
  • Jakovljevic, Maria; Buckley, Sheryl; Bushney, Melanie (The Independent Institute of Education, South Africa, 2014)
  • Monyayi, Victor Tebogo (2020-01)
    In this dissertation we apply linear evolution equations to the Newtonian derivative, Caputo time fractional derivative and $-time fractional derivative. It is notable that the most utilized fractional order derivatives ...
  • Lee, M (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1999)
    For responding to the previous debate about whether Websites can be more properly used as a cost saving or revenue generating devices. The author interprets Plehan's internet selling matrix in a particular way to provide ...
  • Crossman, T.D. (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1994)
    This paper is an attempt to answer the question 'What is Information Systems?' While the characteristics of both a science and a non-science can be identified in Information Systems (IS), it is argued here that it is not ...
  • Byron-Moore, S.P. (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1986)
    Trends in operating systems are examined in the light of advances in computer hardware. Consideration is given to the desirability of a good, up-to-date single-user operating system. The specification and implementation ...
  • Teichroew, D (1995)
    The term "software engineering" originally appeared as a (some would say, the) solution to the software crisis; the term that has been used to include all the problems, real or perceived, in the use of computers in society. ...
  • Nyembe, Bangisisi Z. M.; Howard, Grant Royd (Springer, 2021-08-24)
    Can WhatsApp be used as an educational computer system? This question had not been answered conclusively by current research and was a global imperative for the computers and education research and practice communities given ...
  • Bjorner, D (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1998)
    In this paper we show how details of a software design emerges in two steps: software architecture and program organisation and from first having established careful descriptions of the application domain and of functional ...
  • Korpela, M (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1995)
    There is a long, although thin, tradition of research on whether and how information technology (IT) can contribute to national development and basic human needs, particularly in developing countries (DCs). It is striking, ...
  • Thompson, John Frederick (2023-07-25)
    This thesis investigates why there is still no ‘final’ physical theory of the universe despite the enormous resources involved. Current physical and philosophical methodologies are examined leading to a new strategy. The ...
  • Barth, G (South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists, 1991)
    Currently, there is a certain hype about issues related to neural networks. This is somewhat surprising since the origins of neural nets date back some 40 years. At that time, several researchers experimented with distributed ...
  • Odhiambo, Marcel O.; Rayolla, Amimo P.O. (InTech, 2012-03-07)
  • Brink, C (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1997)
  • Paijmans, H (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1995)
    An overview is given of popular term-weighting schemes as used in Information Retrieval. The question is raised whether the word frequency based t f.idf weights may be used as a yardstick to compare schemes that are not ...
  • Sanders, I; Tsai, C (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1997)
    The goal of this research is to demonstrate that word prediction in a constrained domain like a programming language can be done effectively and hence has the potential to facilitate typing for disabled people who are ...
  • Brink, Basil (2011-08-29)
    Three trends in dealing with water problems now facing humankind are: Commodification of water; returning some water to nature, and water use equity. Problems (negatives) with sourcing potable water in the Eastern Cape ...
