This is a digital archive of the official journal of the Computer Society of South Africa from 1979 until 1983 that was published in printed form only. The name of the journal has later been changed to South African Computer Journal.
Rodd, M. G.(Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1979)
The efficient use of multiprogrammed industrial control computers is largely a function of the relationship between hardware and software. A shift
in this relationship is desirable, since multiprogrammed computers typically ...
Radue, J. E.(Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1979)
The benefits associated with text compression include more efficient use of peripheral devices. faster information transfer rates and, in some cases,
improved sorting speeds through the use of shorter sort keys. However. ...
Philips, N.C.K.(Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1979)
Despite intensive research the P = NP question is unresolved and the research suggests thatitis
hard to answer. The corresponding question for query machines with recursive oracles is undecidable
in set theory. Simply ...
Peberdy, N.J.(Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1979)
The past five years have seen a dramatic changeabout in traditional hardware/software relationships: hardware costs have plummeted, and the
size, environmental requirements and reliability of computing elements have altered ...
Heher, A. D.(Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1979)
This paper is concerned with the problems of interactive computing when multiple real-time tasks are involved. The interactive facilities which can
be provided are described and some of the important software engineering ...
