  • Rekenaar spraaksintese: die omskakeling van teks na klank 
    Wagener, M.J. (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1987)
    Verslag word gelewer oor die ontwikkeling en implementering van 'n stel letter-na-klank reels vir die omskakeling van Afrikaanse teks na foneme. 'n Inleidende oorsig van rekenaar spraaksintese en 'n kort beskrywing van ...
  • Polygon shading on vector type devices 
    Scheepers, C.F. (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1987)
    A method is presented whereby the interior of boundary-defined regions on vector type devices may be shaded using regular line, cross-hatch and dot patterns. Different shades are realized by changing shading parameters ...
  • Set-oriented functional style of programming 
    Mueller, C.S.M. (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1987)
    A novel way of programming, which starts with specific details of a particular example and abstracts these details into generalised sets, is proposed. The whole program is constructed around the definition of these ...
  • A model for fault-tolerant computer systems 
    Goosen, H.A.; Hoogendoorn, C.H.; Goosen (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1987)
    Reliability is an important consideration in the design of computer systems. This is a result of the increasing complexity of computer systems and of the greater reliance placed on their continuous and correct operation. ...
  • Novice attitude changes during a first course In computing: a case study 
    Finnie, G.R. (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1987)
    This paper describes a study of changes in attitude toward computers exhibited by novice student users during a first course in business computing. Several dimensions of attitude were established by factor analysis. ...
  • Random context structure grammars 
    Ehlers, E.M.; von Solms, S. H. (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1987)
    Random Context Structure Grammars are defined. The language generated by a Random Context Structure Grammar is a set of three-dimensional digital structures. A hierarchy of Random Context Grammars is discussed briefly. ...
  • Hands-on microprogramming for computer science students 
    Clayton, Peter G. (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1987)
    This paper advocates hands-on training on microprogrammable hardware for Computer Science students, and suggests an appropriate microprogram development approach for this purpose. The particular tool discussed is ...
  • User attitudes main reason why information systems fail 
    Bruwer, P.J.S. (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1987)
    Some factors which may influence the attitude of the user toward a computerized system are investigated in this article. The research was done in South Africa involving the users of computer-based systems in two organizations. ...
  • A CAI model of space and time with special reference to field battles 
    Anderssen, E.C.; von Solms, S. H. (Computer Society of South Africa (on behalf of SAICSIT), 1987)
    A computer aided instruction facility is presented, in which the simulation of field battles introduces history students to the dynamic relationships between space and time in a historical perspective. Information on a ...
