In this study, research collaboration in the context of South African
Information and Communication for Development (ICT4D) researchers was
investigated using a mixed methods approach. South Africa, a country with ...
Human-Computer Interaction for Development (HCI4D) research aims to maximise the usability of interfaces for interacting with technologies designed specifically for under-served, under-resourced, and under-represented ...
Twinomurinzi, Hossana; Mawela, Tendani; Rampa, Kanye; Imail, Mymoena(National Electronic Media Institute of South Africa (NEMISA), 2018-03-13)
The theme of the 2018 colloquium, "Digital Re-imagination: Preparing South Africa for a Digital
Future through e-Skills" sought to establish an innovative research network through providing
a platform for government, ...
van Wyk, Quintus; Van Biljon, Judy; Schoeman, Marthie(IEEE, 2019)
Incident Management Systems (IMS) assist in
managing resources in order to minimize fatalities and damage.
Visual artifacts in an IMS can facilitate knowledge transfer
between responders to an incident, however, ...
Lehong, Sewisha; Van Biljon, Judy; Sanders, I(IEEE, 2019)
Students in the open-distance and electronic learning (ODeL) environment often work in isolation and face challenges in accessing knowledge resources, especially when conducting research. To support these students in ...
This research determines whether data quality mining can be used to describe, monitor and evaluate the scope and impact of semantic data quality problems in the learner enrolment data on the National Learners’ Records ...
Jones, MR(South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1995)
Business Process Reengineering (BPR) is currently attracting much attention as an approach to organisational change, but has received relatively little critical scrutiny. This paper seeks to examine the origins, antecedents ...
Blake, E(South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1996)
If an effective national system of innovation is the main proposal of the green paper then information technology (IT) has to play a very central role in that system. Supporting IT effectively will also mean supporting ...
Mncube, SS(South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1996)
The rapid technological growth in our time has produced an explosion of information. This, in tum, has spawned information systems based on the use of computers and automated systems. These mechanised devices with their ...
This work reports on 23 third year student' s projects in which the user interfaces (UI) were found wanting. We show in which ways we regard the UI to be in error. However, an examination of the available literature on UI ...
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. ...
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 ...
An implementation of a Graham-Glanville type pattern-matching code generator for the NRIMS systems programming language SCRAP is discussed. The simple heuristic algorithm on which the pattern matcher is based is presented ...
In formal logic, both semantic entailment and the conditional connective are used to formalize the intuitive notion of implication. The former is defined in the meta-language of the logic, and the latter in the language ...
Morphological analysis is a basic enabling application for further kinds of natural lan guage processing, including part-of-speech tagging, parsing, translation and other high-level applications. Automated morphological ...
In this paper we discuss the problem of finding an upper bound on the genus of a graph. This problem has applications to circuit layouts. An electronic circuit may be modelled by a graph. By punching holes into the circuit ...
During the last ten years, a number of computerised testing systems have been developed without considering the users' level of computer proficiency. Students at the University of Port Elizabeth come from a diverse background, ...
In an earlier paper the notion of a ray guard --'- a guard that can only see along a single ray, was introduced. The ray guarding problem is in siting the fewest possible such guards so that they guard all adjacencies ...
