  • SAICSIT Proceedings Table of Contents 
    Unknown author (2019)
  • Scalability of the RAMpage memory hierarchy 
    Machanick, P (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 2000)
    The RAMpage memory hierarchy is an alternative to the traditional division between cache and main memory: main memory is moved up a level and DRAM is used as a paging device. As the CPU-DRAM speed gap grows, it is expected ...
  • A script-based prototype for dynamic deadlock avoidance 
    Blewett, CN; Erwin, GJ (1996)
    Expert systems apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to an application area, aiming (usually) to mimic the behaviour of a human expert. However, there are some AI techniques which can be used to improve the internal ...
  • The SECD Machine : An Introduction 
    Dempster, Robert (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1986)
    The S(tack), E(nvironment), C(ontrol) and D(ump) machine was invented by Landin (1964) to perform the mechanical evaluation of symbolic expressions. The evaluation of an expression invariably involves the application of ...
  • Secure mobile nodes in federated databases 
    Olivier, MS (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1997)
    Mobile computers pose special security risks since information contained on them can more easily be compromised. However, availability of information at the location where the mobile computer is to be used often outweighs ...
  • Selection criteria for first year Computer Science students 
    Calitz, AP; De Kock, G de V; Venter, DJL (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1992)
    The evaluation of selection criteria for the admission of first year Computer Science students has been an ongoing project at the University of Port Elizabeth since 1984. Various selection criteria and methods, for example ...
  • Semantic constructs for a persistent programming language 
    Sparg, S.B.; Berman, Sonia (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1992)
    Existing persistent languages cannot express the structure and semantics of the data they work on precisely and simply. As a result programs are more difficult to write and the integrity of the data is compromised. This ...
  • A semantic data model approach to logical data independence 
    Berman, S (1987)
    Semantic data models were originally introduced as a tool for data description and design. SDMI (Semantic Data Model Interface) investigates their use in another role - as the basis for a data manipulation language - and ...
  • Semantic information management 
    Berman, Sonia (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1987)
    An information management system with a semantic data model interface is currently being developed at UCT. This system provides high-level, non-procedural access to information and enforces powerful integrity and security ...
  • The Sequence Abstraction in the Implementation of Emily 
    Currin, Desmond C.; Bishop, B.M.; Varol, Y. L. (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1979)
    Emily is a general purpose computer aided lllstruction language with a novel nnplementatlon At the user s level, Emily consists of two languages an mstruction language, wlu.ch 1s used by authors to prepare lessons and a ...
  • Set-oriented functional style of programming 
    Mueller, C.S.M. (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1987)
    A novel way of programming, which starts with specific details of a particular example and abstracts these details into generalised sets, is proposed. The whole program is constructed around the definition of these ...
  • Set-oriented functional style of programming 
    Mueller, CSM (1987)
    A novel way of programming, which starts with specific details of a particular example and abstracts these details into generalised sets, is proposed. The whole program is constructed around the definition of these sets. ...
  • A shell-based approach to information security 
    Papenfus, C; Botha, RA (1998)
    Modem computer systems are truly awe-inspiring fetes of detailed design. Millions of transistors perform billions of instructions every second, linking thousands of people from every continent with a remarkable degree ...
  • Shortest delay scheduling algorithm for lossless quality transmission of stored VBR video under limited bandwidth 
    Li, F; Liu, Y; Lee, JY; Ahmad, I (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1999)
    In this paper, we propose scheduling algorithms for call admission control servers. For each requested video, the server sends it according to its smoothed profile aims at maximizing resource utilization and ease of network ...
  • Simplification of rules extracted from neural networks 
    Viktor, HL; Cloete, I (1995)
    Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been proven to be successful general machine learning techniques for, amongst others, pattern recognition and classification. Realworld problems in agriculture (soybean, tea), ...
  • A simulation environment for evaluating distributed query processing algorithms 
    Lamprecht, SM (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1993)
    Distributed database systems provide users with the facility to utilize and maintain information that is geographically dispersed in files at several sites while they remain unaware of the distribution of the information. ...
  • The skills hierarchy and curriculum 
    Machanick, P (1998)
    A commonly accepted hierarchy of cognitive skills puts analysis and synthesis near the top, with straightforward knowledge and comprehension at the bottom. A typical Computer Science curriculum, though, usually starts ...
  • Social responsibility for computing professionals and students 
    Clarke, MC (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1992)
    In our desire for technical excellence, an appreciation of the human factors of computing is often overlooked. This paper proposes that the social and ethical implications of computers need to be understood by computer ...
  • Software chroma keying in an immersive virtual environment 
    Van den Bergh, F; Lalioti, V (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1999)
    This paper presents a very fast software chroma keying algorithm, requiring at most five integer operations per pixel. An improvement of more than 300% in performance over HLS based algorithms was achieved. The algorithm ...
  • Software Configuration Management - A practical approach 
    Du Preez, L.S. (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1984)
    A brief description of software configuration management principles is given, followed by a discussion on the application of these principles in a specific installation.
