Software quality assurance for object-oriented information systems development is the issue dealt with here. A Quality Assurance Reference Model is proposed based on the Revised Spiral Life Cycle Model. The Quality Assurance ...
Symmetric positive definite matrices appear in most methods for
Unconstrained Optimization. The method widely adopted for factoring
these matrices is Cholesky Factorization. Furthermore, in Quassi-Newton
methods for ...
The associative network presents a practical and efficient means for the storage and retrieval of data. Although the recall abilities of single-layer associative memories have been well researched[3], little investigation ...
Traditionally, Technikon training was focused on career-oriented education and training. This has changed over the last few years and research has started to play a major role in Technikon education. This additional objective ...
What to teach students in an undergraduate program in Information Systems at a tertiary
institution has repeatedly been debated over the years. Various curricula have been published, the most recent effort being the IS ...
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), ...
Multiple CASE tools that support systems analysis and design are available today. These
tools are becoming indispensable in its support for the systems development process, although the support varies in term of the methods ...
Systems development methods or software methodologies have evolved
considerably over the past few years. This development has tended to fall into two main areas: Software Engineering and Human Computer Interaction (HCI). ...
In this extended abstract, we present a brief description of the tutorial. The primary
reference material, a book and some software (1] , is available for ftp from the Eindhoven University of Technology.
In this tutorial, ...
There are three major agents in a computer-based instruction (CBI) environment: the tutor, the tutoring system and the tutee. The emphasis of this paper is on the tutoring system which contains the instructional content ...
Compiler writing techniques have undergone a number of major revisions over the past
forty years. The introduction of object-oriented design and implementation techniques promises to improve the quality of compilers, while ...
The ability to learn from observations and to modify our understanding of the world based on experience is an essential aspect of intelligent behavior. Machine learning has thus become an important sub-area of artificial ...
The rapidly changing·end-user computing environment requires an informed recipient of information who can play an active role in the design of information systems to capture. retrieve and interpret data [6). We need our ...
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. ...
