  • A classification of partitioning rules for information system design 
    Mende, J. (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1988)
    In designing a computer-based information system one can partition the transformation process in many alternative ways. To find the optimal partition, a designer needs explicit rules which predict the most successful ...
  • Laws and techniques of information systems 
    Mende, J. (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1986)
    Research has a utilitarian role of providing the knowledge needed by the designers of mankind's artefacts. In this context four distinct categories of knowledge are identifiable. 1. Laws of Nature describe inherent ...
  • 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. ...
  • A Structural Model of Information Systems Theory 
    Mende, J. (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1988)
    The laws and techniques of maJure sub1ects such as Physics and Electrical Engineering are logically connected to one another in the form of a deductive network There is a foundation of basic laws deriving from them ...
  • Three packaging rules for information system design 
    Mende, J. (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1987)
    After identifying the processing functions required in a computer based information system, the designer needs to combine them into an optimal set of load units. Some "packaging" arrangements yield a better system ...
