  • Machanick, Philip (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1989)
    Appropriate technology refers to technology appropriate for use in less developed parts of the world, especially the Third World; this paper raises some problems in adapting a definition of appropriate technology to ...
  • Kotze, P; De Villiers, R (1996)
    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 ...
  • Ajila, SA (2000)
    The development of Software is a long term investment. This investment normally takes a lot of money and human efforts. So many things may change during the life span of a Software. The requirement and the specification ...
  • Van Zijl, L; Van der Walt, APJ (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1999)
    We prove that the shortest word accepted by an n-state intersection selective nondeterministic automaton with nonempty language can be of length O( e n log n).
  • Sutherland, F (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1994)
    IT has a dynamic impact on organisations and little research has been done especially on the extent to which senior executives take the different system types into account when they appraise an IT investment. The aim of ...
  • Aik-Koen, Heng (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1986)
  • Remenyi, D (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1997)
    Business Process Reengineering (BPR) or Business Transformation is very difficult to manage successfully. There is a high failure rate of BPR projects and thus the risk associated with this type of work is high. Although ...
  • Theron, H; Cloete, I (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1994)
    This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the search schemes employed by AQ, CN2 and the recently introduced BEXA algorithm. These covering algorithms induce disjunctive concept descriptions, and employ a general-to-specific ...
  • Ram, V (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1998)
    Shared beliefs and knowledge are an integral part of an organisation's identity and a prerequisite for collective func­tioning. Multiagent systems that support or emulate cooperative problem solving in such a context cannot ...
  • Wulf, S. (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1984)
    Fourth generation languages offer substantial productivity benefits to data processing departments. Major problems associated with their use include the inability of conventional project management systems to control ...
  • Van der Poll, JA; Kotze, P (2001)
    A formal specification of a multi-level marketing (MLM} business is presented. Specifying a MLM business boils down to specifying properties of and operations on mathematical forests and trees. The usefulness of the ...

    Persistent data is defined as that which survives on secon­dary store after program execution terminates. In a persistent programming language there is no distinction what ­ever between persistent data and ...
  • Norman, MJ; Berman, Sonia (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1993)
    Software Engineering is a difficult and time-consuming discipline to learn. CASE Tools are generally expensive, prescriptive and tedious to use. Structured Software Development Environment (SSDE) was developed as a teaching ...
  • Lewis, L (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1992)
    Statecharts were developed by Harel to specify complex reactive systems. Statecharts proved to be rich in modelling power and convenience [9] and well suited to mechanical implementation. However, the semantic definition ...
  • Mueller, C (1998)
    Formal methods have not as yet succeeded in becoming an accepted way to develop software. This paper explores whether a possible reason for this is the complexity of the tools we use, in particular, the programming paradigms. ...
  • Waldron, JT; Horgan, J; Keogh, G (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1999)
    The level of programming skill achieved by a method of learning introductory computer architecture with a strong emphasis on assembly language programming as part of a Graduate Diploma in Information Technology in the ...
  • Bishop, JM (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1996)
    The survey of staff and student numbers done in 1992 provided the first country-wide picture of computing departments in South Africa. This report presents the picture three years later, from data collected in 1995. It ...
