  • Beam search in attribute-based concept induction 
    Theron, H; Cloete, I (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1992)
    Thi spaper investigates the issues of specializing only a single best conjunction to employing a beam search when learning attribute-based concept descriptions using the GCA algorithm. We describe GCA, a recently introduced ...
  • Beliefs of a resource-bounded agent 
    Viljoen, E (2000)
    Logics of belief and knowledge are typically formulated in terms of modal languages. A possible world semantics is traditionally used for such languages but when a formula A is read as "The agent believes that A", the ...
  • Binary decision diagram representations of firewall and router access lists 
    Hazelhurst, S; Fatti, A; Henwood, A (1998)
    The growth of network and internet communication creates several challenges for network design. Two important issues are security and performance. As the volume of communication increases together with the importance of ...
  • Building a secure database using self-protecting objects 
    Olivier, MS; Von Solms, SH (1991)
    In current database systems the responsibility for enforcing security is often given to the various application programs. Even where the Database Management System (DBMS) does supply security mechanisms, a single application ...
  • BuRS: a building recognition system 
    Levitt, SP; Dwolatzky, B (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1999)
    In this paper the design of a novel building extraction system, entitled BuRS, is proposed. It is capable of identifying man-made structures that are visible in monocular greyscale aerial photography of rural settlements ...
  • Business computing: an African perspective 
    Blewett, CN; Erwin, GJ (1995)
    The book uses storytelling as teaching, with exclusive use of active tense, local examples a problem-driven approach rather than a product-driven approach. For example, magnetic tape principles are explained in ...
  • Business process reengineering: A down to earth critique 
    Shewaram, T (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1996)
    'Change' is a universal phenomenon that many take for granted. Without change, time has no meaning. Even people are essentially dynamic processes, we are constantly changing in multitudinous ways. In light of this, it is ...
  • Business process reengineering: management's new paradigm or emperor's new clothes? 
    Jones, MR (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1995)
    Business Process Reengineering (BPR) is currently attracting much attention as an approach to organisational change, but has received relatively little critical scrutiny. This paper seeks to examine the origins, antecedents ...
  • A CAI model of space and time with special reference to field battles 
    Anderssen, E.C.; von Solms, S. H. (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1987)
    A computer aided instruction facility is presented, in which the simulation of field battles introduces history students to the dynamic relationships between space and time in a historical perspective. Information on a ...
  • Cardinality constrained 0-1 Knapsack problems 
    Kruger, MF; Hattingh, JM; Steyn, T (2000)
    The Knapsack Problem is one of the most important problems in Discrete optimization. Although it is the simplest integer program, it has numerous practical applications and often appears as a subproblem in solving more ...
  • The case for a multiprocessor on a Die: MoaD 
    Machanick, P (2001)
    Increasingly aggressive pipelining achieves diminishing returns. Simultaneous Multi-threading (SMT) attempts to exploit the fact that functional units are frequently idle. This paper argues the case for keeping the processor ...
  • A case for reuse technology as a CS/IS training infrastructure 
    Adigun, MO (1998)
    The advent of faster computing hardware and sophisticated software tools has not brought with it the much expected panacea for the so-called software crisis, rather we are now facing a software dilemma. Otherwise we should ...
  • A case-based reasoning approach to intelligent retrieval in reusable software libraries 
    Ram, V (1995)
    Software Reuse is the technique of reusing software components previously developed in order to reduce the effort required to develop new software. It is generally accepted that software reuse can improve the rate of ...
  • Case-Grammar Representation of Programming Languages 
    Popelas, Judy Mallino; Calingaert, Peter (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1983)
    The correction of errors in programs can be based on an analysis, that subordinates syntactic relationships to functional relationships among elements of a program. For this purpose, case grammars, originally developed ...
  • A causal analysis of job turnover among systems analysts 
    Smith, DC; Hansen, AL; Oosthuizen, NC (South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists, 1991)
    Staff Shortages in the Information Systems industry are a continuing problem. Job turnover of IS staff contributes to this shortage and is particularly high in South Africa. This high turnover is often attributed to ...
  • Changes in entry-level university students' attitudes to computers from 1985 to 1997 
    Clarke, MC; Finnie, GR (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1998)
    A modified version of Lee's instrument for measuring attitudes to computers was administered to two groups of first-year university students separated by a period of twelve years. Factor analysis was applied to these two ...
  • Characteristics of high-performing information systems project managers and project teams 
    Smith, DC (1998)
    Projects, and their success, are vital if organisations are to produce new products and services. The key players in IS projects are the project manager and the project team. This paper discussed ongoing research of two ...
  • Checklist support for ISO 9001 audits of software quality management systems 
    Walker, AJ (1996)
    This paper presents an overview of a national project to develop a checklist to support audits and assessments of quality management systems in the field of software in terms of the compliance requirements of the ISO 9001 ...
  • CID3: an extension of ID3 for attributes with ordered domains 
    Cloete, I; Theron, H (South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists, 1991)
    Quinlan's ID3 is a popular and efficient algorithm for inducing decision trees from concept examples, where the examples are presented as vectors of attribute-value pairs. If some attributes have integer or real domains ...
  • The CILT multi-agent learning system 
    Viktor, HL (South African Computer Society (SAICSIT), 1999)
    A multi-agent learning system consists of two or more learners or learning agents that co-exist in a learning environment. The learners have the ability to learn together, thus utilizing one another's strengths and ...
