  • Distributed Computer Systems - A Review 
    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 ...
  • A Hardware-Based Real-Time Operating System 
    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 ...

  • The P-NP Question and Recent Independence Results 
    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 ...
  • Real-Time Interactive Multiprogramming 
    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 ...
  • Text Compression Techniques 
    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. ...
