  • Data-dependence of semantic information 
    Heidema, J; Labuschagne, W.A. (South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists, 1990)
    The theory of semantic information is sketched in an algebraic setting, and automorphisms characterising various degrees of incompatibility are introduced. Data-dependent measures of semantic information are defined in ...
  • An exploratory study into communications between IS staff and users during requirement specification 
    Du Plessis, CJ; Rip, SDE; Lay, PMQ (South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists, 1990)
    Communication between IS staff and users during requirement specification is unavoidable. However, little research has been conducted to explore the relationship between effective group communication and the quality of the ...
  • A file server for a multi-transputer UNIX system 
    Hoffman, PK; Smit, G de V (South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists, 1990)
    The DISTRIX operating system is a multiprocessor UNIX-like distributed operating system. It consists of a number of satellite processors connected to central servers. The system is based on the MINIX operating system, ...
  • The fixpoint theorem in the El-Calculus 
    Postma, SW; McGee, A (South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists, 1990)
    The οr.1-calculus is presented as an extension to the standard 1-calculus, and a r.1-term called the strong conditional is discussed. The strong conditional is shown to be non-monotomic, and an extension is made to the ...
  • Kritiese faktore vir die suksesvolle afhandeling van inligtingstelselprojekte 
    Bruwer, P.J.S. (South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists, 1990)
    During the past 30 years the rapid evolution and distribution of information systems have brought about a change in the issues surrounding information systems projects. The technical, internal and external environment ...
  • MINIX for a distributed database system 
    Meumann, MD; Rennhackkamp, MH (South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists, 1990)
    A user of a distributed database management system must be able to access data which is stored on a number of different sites, connected by a network, without being aware of the physical data distribution. The NRDNIX ...
  • OCTOLISP: An experiment with data structures 
    Dempster, Robert (South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists, 1990)
    OCTOLISP is a functional programming language which provides the programmer with a number of explicit data structures, such as lists, stacks, vectors, sets, trees and forests. Each of these data structures also has a ...
  • 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: 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 ...
