  • A comparison of assignment and matching lower bounds for the symmetric travelling salesman problem 
    Smith, T.H.C. Meyer, T.W.S. (SAICS, 1989-11-29)
    Improved lower bounds for the Euclidean travelling salesman problem, based on the assignment relaxation, have previously been presented. We present computational experience which indicates that the (continuous) 2-matching ...
  • Data structuring via functions 
    Venter, B.H. (SAICS, 1989-11-29)
    A programming language data model is introduced, based on the notions that variables are functions and types are sets of values. It is shown that, despite the simplicity of the underlying mathematical formalism, the data ...
  • Database consistency under UNIX 
    Viktor, H.L. (SAICS, 1989-11-29)
    A recovery technique to facilitate the recovery from system failures should ensure a consistent database state at all times. The UNIX write system call uses a delayed-write policy. Data blocks are kept in a buffer cache ...
  • A design environment for semantic data models 
    Kambanis, J. (SAICS, 1989-11-29)
    This paper describes the functionality and architecture of a Semantic Data Modeling environment. It integrates User Interface techniques used in Computer Aided Software Engineering and Expert Systems shells into a system ...
  • Digital Doorways 
    Gush, Kim De Villiers, M.R. (Ruth) Smith, Ronel Cambridge, Grant (IGI Global, 2011)
    The Digital Doorway is a joint initiative between the Meraka Institute of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and South Africa’s Department of Science and Technology (DST), with a vision of making a ...
  • Ecological applications using a novel expert system shell 
    Riordan, D. Bradshaw, J.A. Carden, K.J. (SAICS, 1989-11-29)
    Much of the information used by ecologists in modeling and decision making is imprecise. The imprecision arises both from data which is inexact or incom­plete and from the use of ecological principles which are sometimes ...
  • Emulating Software Defined Network Using Mininet and OpenDaylight Controller Hosted on Amazon Web Services Cloud Platform to Demonstrate a Realistic Programmable Network. 
    Lindinkosi L. Zulu Kingsley Ogudo Umenne, Patrice (IEEE Mauritius Subsection on IEEEexplore, 2018-12-07)
    In this paper, a Software Defined Network was created in Mininet using python script. An external interface was added in the form of an OpenDaylight controller to enable communication with the network outside of Mininet. ...
  • Encouraging creativity and innovation as part of the cybersecurity culture of the organisation for sustainable value and growth 
    Da Veiga, Adele (IGI Global Publishing, 2025-01)
    Creativity and innovation are vital to combat cybercrime and protect information and related systems of organisations. Organisations in which creativity and innovation are applied in the security function experience fewer ...
  • Experience with the development of a neural network simulator 
    Cloete, I. Ludik, J. (SAICS, 1989-11-29)
    Researchers experimenting with structured neural networks must be able to imple­ment and test their ideas. Since most of the network models presume much structure, and network architecture design is a major component in ...
  • A file server for a multi-transputer UNIX system 
    Hoffman, K. Smit, G. de V. (SAICS, 1989-11-29)
    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, ...
  • Finding regular paths in acyclic graphs 
    Wood, P.T. (SAICS, 1989-11-29)
    Increasing the expressive power of relational query languages by providing some form of recursion is currently a topic of much research. For many recursive queries in relational databases, a relation can be represented as ...
  • Generalized product form solutions for multiserver centres with concurrent classes of customers 
    Krzesinski, A.E. Crosby, S. (SAICS, 1989-11-29)
    The MultiServer centre with Concurrent Classes of Customers (MSCCC) is a service centre consisting of B parallel identical exponential servers. The customers requesting service at the MSCCC centre belong to K classes. ...
