    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 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 ...
  • An Analytical Model of a Mixed-Workload MVS Computer System 
    Mann, R.J. (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1983)
    A basic description of the facilities of the computer modelling package, AUTO-CONFIGURATER, is presented together with detailed procedures to calculate the required input parameters from monitor statistics. Techniques to ...
  • Animating neural network training 
    van der Poel, E; Cloete, I (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1992)
    In Artificial Neural Network (ANN) simulation it is usually necessary to examine the behaviour of the ANN and detect problems if they occur. However, due to the large volume and high dimensionality of data generated during ...
  • 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 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-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 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 ...
  • 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 ...
  • 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 ...
  • An approximate solution method for multiclass queueing networks with state dependent routing and window flow control 
    Krzesinski, AE (1987)
    A Multidass Queueing Network (MQN) Q ( N, .M ) consisting of M centres with index set .M and population vector N is partitioned into two subnetworks Q ( fJ -V , .M -1) ) and Q (V , V ) . The centres in Q (V , · V ) are ...
  • Artificial intelligence, expert systems and business computing: Is there a problem? 
    Crossman, T.D. (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1993)
    Some sources suggest that the implementation of Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems applications (AI/ES) may create problems for the business sector. This article presents a management tool (based on the concept of ...
  • Assessing the usability of computer systems 
    Parker-Nance, TC; Warren, PR (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1993)
    Usability problems with computer systems can be divided into three broad categories: problems due to the socio/political environment, problems due to the usefulness of systems, and problems due to the accessibility of ...
  • ATM transmission convergence implementations: SONET/SDH vs Cell-based 
    De Jager, N; Roos, J (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1996)
