The ascent of the current industrial revolution known as Industry 4.0 (I40) or smart manufacturing is considerably impacting the manufacturing sector with the utilization of more intelligent and advanced practices such ...
An application of a framework for evaluation of the factors affecting software development productivity in the context of a particular organisational environment

Petkova, O; Roode, JD (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1999)

The goal of this paper is to present the practical implementation of a novel framework for evaluation of the factors affecting software development productivity, combining elements from several systems approaches and ...
The Application of Logical Tools in Project-Based Classrooms

Jakovljevic, Maria (University of Zadar. Mihovila Pavlinovića bb, 23000 Zadar, 2011)

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the application of logical tools such as inference trees and columnar data flow diagrams in the information system (IS) analysis and design context. Seventeen students ...
The application of scientific method to information systems analysis

Atkinson, C.R.; Lay, P.M.Q. (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1989)

17zis paper addresses the challenging question of the rigour of the systems analysis process. First of all it discusses the nature of analysis, concluding that, contradictory to cu"ent opinion, it can best be described ...
The application of scripts to deadlock avoidance

Blewett, CN; Erwin, GJ (1995)

We describe the prototype of an expert system software advisor for the lock manager of a database system. The software advisor, called EAGLE (Expert Advisor for Granting Locks Effectively), is intended to become an ...
Application Usage of Unsupervised Digital Doorway Computer Kiosks in Remote Locations in South Africa

Gush, Kim; De Villiers, M.R. (Ruth) (2010)

Digital Doorways are rugged computer terminals that offer unassisted learning and peer-assisted learning of basic computer skills, as well as a range of computing activities from entertainment, through education, to ...
Application-oriented program semantics

McIver, AK; Morgan, C; Sanders, JW (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1997)

This paper abridges lecture notes from WOFACS 96. It provides semantic models for a variety of programming and development formalisms, showing how different models for the same formalism are related by Galois connections. ...
Applied Lambda calculus. Using a type theory based proof assistant

Pretorius, L (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1998)

We introduce a number of typed lambda calculi, show how type theory may be used as basis for a proof assistant, and illustrate this with the Coq proof assistant.
Applying blended conceptual spaces to variable choice and aesthetics in data visualisation

Featherstone, Coral (2018-09)

Computational creativity is an active area of research within the artificial intelligence domain that investigates what aspects of computing can be considered as an analogue to the human creative process. Computers can be ...
Applying controlled usability-testing technology to investigate learning behaviours of users interacting with e-learning tutorials

De Villiers, M.R. (Ruth) (2009)

The purpose of this paper is to suggest innovative ways of using the facilities in usability-testing laboratories to find out more about the learning processes and behaviours of users interacting with e-learning applications. ...
Applying mobile agents in an immune-system-based intrusion detection system

Zielinski, Marek Piotr (2009-08-25)

Nearly all present-day commercial intrusion detection systems are based on a hierarchical architecture. In such an architecture, the root node is responsible for detecting intrusions and for issuing responses. However, an ...
Applying software engineering methods to instructional systems development

Kotze, P; De Villiers, R (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1997)

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 integration ...
Applying Software Engineering Methods to Instructional Systems Development.

De Villiers, M. R. (Ruth); Kotze, P. (1997)

Reports on research conducted to integrate software engineering with instructional factors in the requirements analysis, design and production phases of instructional software development. Illustrates with diagrams
Applying the Community of Inquiry framework: a novel tool for systematic and economic coding and analysis of forum discourse in situ and in context

van der Merwe, Thomas (Inderscience, 2012-11-12)

The online discussion forum (ODF) is one of the most widely used e-learning tools in open distance learning (ODL) environments. A popular line of research focuses on producing instruments that can be used to assess the ...
An approach for the standardisation of policies for selection of computer hardware and software

Petkov, D (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1996)

This paper suggests an approach for the selection of microcomputer equipment in a decentralised environment. It is based on a modification of the procedure of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) by T. Saaty. The structuring ...
An approach to defining abstractions, refinements and enrichments

Kourie, D.G. (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1989)

A proposal for defining abstractions and refinements is given in terms of three-valued logic applied to a domain of discourse consisting of a property and an entity set. Definitions for several related concepts flow ...
An approach to direct end-user usage of multiple databases

Philips, MJ (1987)

The difficulties encountered by users without experience of the use of multiple databases are described, as well as an approach which allow such users to make worthwhile use of these systems, encompassing potentially ...
An approach to facilitating the training of mobile agent programmers and encouraging the progression to an agent-oriented paradigm

Schoeman, Martha Anna (2009-08-25)

Mobile agents hold significant benefits for the rapid expansion of Internet applications and current trends in computing. Despite continued interest, the promised deployment has not taken place, indicating a need for a ...
An approach to information security culture change combining ADKAR and the ISCA questionnaire to aid transition to the desired culture

Da Veiga, Adele (2018)

Purpose: Employee behaviour is a continuous concern owing to the number of information security incidents resulting from employee behaviour. The aim of this research is to propose an approach to information security culture ...
Approaches to video transmission over GSM networks

Du, B; Maeder, A (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1999)

Real-time video delivery adds an aspect of reality when used in conjunction with other computer and human communications facilities (eg in videophone or videoconferencing applications). However, the complex and time-critical ...
