  • An Adaptive Response Algorithm 
    Pirow, Peter (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1984)
    In five years of watching students operate terminals I have observed that the response time of the terminal has much to do with the comfort of the user. I have also observed this phenomenon in the business environment. ...
  • Add: The Automated Database Design Tool 
    Berman, Sonia (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1983)
    An automated database design tool called ADD has been developed at the University of Cape Town. This system obtains a requirements specification from a user and from this generates a relation scheme and a Codasyl schema. ...
  • Addressing ambiguity within information security policies in higher education to improve compliance 
    Buthelezi, Mokateko Portia (2017-06)
    nformation security (InfoSec) policies are widely used by institutions as a form of InfoSec control measure to protect their information assets. InfoSec policies are commonly documented in natural language, which is prone ...

  • Adoption of free desktop open source software in developing countries in Africa : a case of Kenyan University students 
    Kamau, John Wachira (2017-02)
    Open source products such as software development tools and server applications are gaining popularity among expert users. There is however a notable lag in adoption of desktop open source software among ordinary users ...
  • Adoption of transport management systems in the South African taxi industry 
    Musanhi, Nyaradzo (2021-11-19)
    This study investigated how the attitudes of taxi entrepreneurs affect their acceptance of transport management systems in the South African taxi industry. The study was instigated by a rise in the adoption of transport ...
  • An Agent-Oriented Framework for Constructing Mobile Agent Systems 
    Schoeman, Marthie; Venter, Lucas; Cloete, Elsabé (2007)
    Agents and mobile agents hold significant benefits for current trends in computing. Despite some industries actively exploring mobile agent applications the promised deployment has not taken place as expected. Possible ...
  • An AI search algorithm to obtain the shortest simplex path 
    Scott, TG; Hattingh, J.M.; Steyn, T (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1996)
    The simplex method is one way of solving a linear programming problem (LP-problem). An A* search algorithm based on a certain evaluation function has been developed to obtain the shortest path to an optimal solution within ...
  • Algebraic factorization of integers using BDE's 
    Messerschmidt, HJ; Robertson, J (2000)
    This paper outlines a new direct algebraic method for the factorization of integers. It shows how by using a mixed binary - decimal multiplication scheme the multiplication can be reconstructed from the product only. This ...
  • An Algorithm for Merging Disk Files in Place 
    Roets, P. P. (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1979)
    An algorithm is presented for sorting a random access file in place. The algorithm is unique in the sense that no auxiliary storage, apart from a number of buffers in the machine's high-speed memory, is required. In ...
  • An Algorithm for the Approximation of Surfaces and for the Packing of Volumes 
    Christensen, A. H. J. (A. H. J. Christensen (1979) An Algorithm for the Approximation of Surfaces and for the Packing of Volumes. Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1979)
    An algorithm is presented here that approximates a given swface A by a set of regular or semi-regular faces forming a polyhedron C. If the faces are all square, C assumes the aspect of a 'blocked' swface. It is also ...
  • Aligning African Computing Disciplines' Graduate Attributes with International Standards 
    Kroeze, Jan H.; Ponelis, Shana; Venter, Isabella M.; Pretorius, Philip; Prinsloo, Paul (International Multi-conference on Society, Cybernetics and Informatics, 2012-07-17)
    This paper explores graduate attributes as is required of students in Computer Science and Information Systems disciplines in Africa in general and in South Africa in particular. Graduate attributes as envisioned by students ...
  • An Alternative Development of the Vienna Data Structures 
    Philips, N.C.K. (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1986)
    This paper presents an axiomatic specification of a data type which is shown to be equivalent to the Vienna data structures. The advantage of this alternative approach is its obvious simplicity.
  • An alternative teaching approach for information systems 
    De Villiers, C; Roode, JD (1995)
    lnterpersonal skills and communications are the two topics in Curriculum '95, compiled by the joint task force of the ACM/AIS-ICIS/DPMA, where both academics and industry expect the level of knowledge of the students to ...
  • Analysing routing strategies in sporadic networks 
    Melville, S (1991)
    CommunIcations networks with sporadically available links pose particular problems in terms of delay analysis. This paper presents an approach to determining the effectiveness of various routing strategies when applied ...
  • Analysing routing strategies in sporadic networks 
    Melville, SW (South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists, 1992)
    Communications networks with sporadically available links pose particular problems in terms of delay analysis. This paper presents an approach to determining the effectiveness of various routing strategies when applied to ...
  • An analysis of semantic data quality defiencies in a national data warehouse: a data mining approach 
    Barth, Kirstin (2018-09)
    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 ...
  • Analysis of the relationship between Governance of Enterprise Information Technology (IT) and strategic business-IT alignment using COBIT 5 in the case of the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia 
    Fiseha, Martha Sileshi (2020-02)
    Effective Governance of Enterprise Information Technology (GEIT) is very important for an enterprise that has a huge investment in IT infrastructure. Implementing effective GEIT helps an enterprise to meet stakeholder needs ...
  • An analysis of the usage of systems development methods in South Africa 
    Erlank, S; Pelteret, D; Meskin, M (South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists, 1991)
    The systems development process is commonly described in terms of a System Development Life Cycle (SDLC). There is a wide range of tools and techniques available to the system developer, and these are typically used for ...
