  • Real-time control the system model - a holistic approach to system design 
    Considine, TN (1996)
    The Real-time Control System Model is a system design methodology which provides robust systems based on Object technology. The paper will detail the components of the model including the control layers and the time-based ...
  • A reference model for the process control domain of application 
    Dhevcharran, N; Steenkamp, AL; Ram, V (1996)
    The increasing complexity of large process control systems impedes efforts to construct, co-ordinate and monitor these systems effectively. The object oriented paradigm and associated mechanisms greatly assist in software ...
  • The relational organisation model 
    Laauwen, B (1996)
    It has become clear that today's complex society of specialised individuals has a need for problem solving techniques using an integrated and interdisciplinary approach. The popularity of business re-engineering beliefs ...
  • The role of formalism in engineering interactive systems 
    Harrison, MD; Duke, DJ (1996)
    This paper is concerned with the role of formal notations and methods in engineering interactive systems. It begins by briefly reviewing the role of formal methods in Human Computer Interaction.The objective of capturing ...
  • The role of IT in Business Process Reengineering 
    Blewett, CN; Cansfield, J; Gibson, L (1996)
    South African organisations are facing increasing demands stemming from growing competition, fast changing technologies and global trends and pressures. The methods and management structures enabled these organisations to ...
  • 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 ...
  • Software engineering development methodologies applied to computer-aided instruction 
    Kotze, P; De Villiers, R (1996)
    The research reported in this paper aims to integrate software engineering approaches with instructional factors in the requirements, analysis, design and production phases of instructional software development. The ...
  • Teaching a first course in compilers with a simple compiler construction toolkit 
    Ganchev, GF (1996)
    We describe the use of a toolkit designed to support the Compiler Construction course in the University of Botswana. The toolkit is based upon the principles of simplicity, modularity and flexibility. Its educational ...
  • Teaching turing machines - luxury or necessity? 
    Velinov, Y (1996)
    The purpose of this paper is to outline an approach for the development of the Tape Machines model in the Theory of Computation which is bound more closely to the real computer world. The approach is based on a developed ...
  • A technology reference model for client/server software development 
    Nienaber, RC (1996)
    In today's highly competitive global economy, well-structured information resources, representing enterprise-wide information, are essential to the survival of an organization. The user needs an integrated view of the ...
  • Theory meets practice: using Smith's normalization in complex systems 
    Van der Merwe, A; Labuschagne, W (1996)
    In the middle 80s Smith introduced a new way of deriving fully normalized tables: His method was based on the use of an dependency list and a dependency diagram to produce fifth normal form directly. We introduce the use ...
  • A validation model of the VMTP transport level protocol 
    Roux, HN; De Villiers, PJA (1996)
    The implementation of protocols can be speed up by incorporating formally validated designs in documents that describe new protocols. Unfortunately, this seldom happens in practice. It is proposed that a formally validated ...
