  • 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 Relative Merits of Two Organisational Behaviour Models for Structuring a Management Information System 
    Pirow, Peter (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1982)
    The basic 'model' usually applied to the structure of MIS is that of Anthony. This paper investigates the use of the Paterson model as an alternative. This is approached from the theoretical standpoint, and reference is ...
  • The representation of chemical structures by random context structure grammars 
    Ehlers, EM; Von Solms, SH (1987)
    A representation of chemical molecules by Random Context Structure Grammars is proposed. Random Context Structure Grammars generate three-dimensional digital structures. Random Context Structure Grammars and Random Context ...
  • Representing quadrics on a computer 
    Coetzee, MA; Baart, ML (2000)
    In our research on transfinite interpolation with quadric patches, we needed to draw the part of some quadratic surface that lies between two given planes. In this talk, we discuss a way to parameterize a quadric patch ...
  • Research computeracy 
    Pirow, Peter Cluver (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1987)
    This paper describes the concept of computeracy as it applies to research workers and argues that research will be improved if the level of computeracy can be raised.
  • Research directions in information systems 
    Mende, J. (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1986)
    The success of a research project depends upon the inputs and outputs selected by the researcher, a poor choice entailing useless results or wasted efforts.To avoid this one might consider the following alternatives: t. ...
  • Research in information technology at South Africans Technikons 
    Von Solms, R (1995)
    Traditionally, Technikon training was focused on career-oriented education and training. This has changed over the last few years and research has started to play a major role in Technikon education. This additional objective ...
  • Response surface analysis as a technique for the visualization of linear models and data 
    Terblanche, F; Hattingh, G (1998)
    Response surface analysis aims of exploring the behavior of a response function in some region. Some authors (see e.g. [BRU] and [DEV]), have used this approach to get "better" interpretations of the behavior of linear ...
  • Restructuring of the Conceptual Schema to produce DBMS Schemata 
    Wulf, S. (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1983)
    An overall methodology for database design is presented. This includes creation of a data dictionary and relational analysis. An algorithm is presented to create a conceptual schema or logical database design from the set ...
  • Rethinking IS Curricula for South Africa 
    Froneman, L; Roode, JD (1995)
    What to teach students in an undergraduate program in Information Systems at a tertiary institution has repeatedly been debated over the years. Various curricula have been published, the most recent effort being the IS ...
  • Returns on the Stock Exchange 
    Kruger, JW (2000)
    The McGreggor database supplies the accounting information of companies listed on the Johannesburg stock exchange. These attributes are not significantly correlated to the Return. The Pearl's algorithm in Bayesian belief ...
  • A reusable kernel for the development of control software 
    Fouche, W; De Villiers, PJA (1991)
    A kernel has been developed which can be used to simplify the development of control software. It can be used to control several physical machines which are interconnected via a fast local area network. One or more virtual ...
  • Review of mapping neural networks in classification systems 
    Hing, RL (South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists, 1990)
    An old approach used in classification systems has been revived by the discovery of new algorithms which use this approach to approximate complex non-linear functions. This approach, known as neurocomputing, classifies ...
  • A review of the use of computers in education in South Africa Part 1: Primary and High schools 
    Fallick, PM; Pistorius, MC (South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists, 1990)
    This informal review is based on personal discussions carried out within the last year with various experts in the field as to the current use of computers in primary and secondary schools. An attempt has been made to ...
  • A review of the use of computers in education in South Africa: Tertiary education 
    Pistorius, MC; Fallick, PM (South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists, 1990)
    This informal review is based on personal discussions carried out within the last year with various experts in the field on the current use of computers in tertiary education, particularly at universities. An attempt has ...
  • Reviewing IS curricula: A practical approach 
    Froneman, L; Roode, JD (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1996)
    Many curriculum designs are based purely on what educators think it should be, reflecting their own experiences or idiosyn­crasies, with little reference to the needs of the information systems field. A number of studies ...
  • A risk model to allocate resources to different computerised systems 
    Kruger, HA; Hattingh, JM (1997)
    The majority of large organisations operate and maintain significant portfolios of computerised systems. All Information Systems (IS) managers are increasingly faced with the task of doing more with less. To cope with ...
  • The role of experience in user perceptions of information technology: an empirical examination 
    Handzic, M; Low, G (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1999)
    This paper reports the results of an empirical examination of the effects of experience in using a multifunctional information technology on users' perceptions of its usefulness and ease of use in a university task context ...
  • 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)
