  • A Linda solution to the evolving philosophers problem 
    Hazelhurst, SE (South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists, 1991)
    The dining philosophers problem and the evolving philosophers problems are abstractions of resource sharing problems in parallel and distributed systems. A Linda solution to the dining problem has already been shown; this ...
  • A method of controlling quality of application software 
    Crossman, T.D. (South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists, 1991)
    This paper describes the inspection team process and explores its value to the application developer. The conclusion reached is that the technique does incur added development costs, but the whole process brings with it ...
  • PEST - A microcomputer Pascal base expert system shell 
    Sartori-Angus, AG; Neville, R (South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists, 1991)
    The PEST System is a totally interactive, forward chaining, rule-based expert system shell. It was primarily, though not exclusively, designed for the development of scientifically related expert systems in Pascal, involving ...
  • The physical correlates of local minima 
    Wessels, LFA; Barnard, E; Van Rooyen, E (South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists, 1991)
    The training of neural-net classifiers is often hampered by the occurrence of local minima, which results in the attainment of inferior classification performance. We study the problem of local minima in order to devise ...
  • The placement of subprograms by an automatic programming system 
    Du Plessis, JP; Messerschmidt, HJ (South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists, 1991)
    Programming in a procedural language such as Pascal usually involves the development of subprograms. An auto­matic programming system needs a systematic method to determine the placement (position) of a subprogram in a ...
  • An update on UNINET-ZA: The Southern African Academic and Research Network 
    Shaw, V (South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists, 1991)
    The UNINET Academic and Research Network is a collaborative project among Universities, Research Councils and the FRD for the development, implementation and promotion of an academic and research network of computers ...
  • Why the fuss about neural networks? 
    Barth, G (South African Institute of Computer Scientists and Information Technologists, 1991)
    Currently, there is a certain hype about issues related to neural networks. This is somewhat surprising since the origins of neural nets date back some 40 years. At that time, several researchers experimented with distributed ...
