Compiler writing techniques have undergone a number of major revisions over the past
forty years. The introduction of object-oriented design and implementation techniques promises to improve the quality of compilers, while ...
This paper examines and provides an overview of feature extraction techniques that are
currently used in neural networks for image recognition. These include moment
invariants, Zemike moments, Fourier descriptor techniques, ...
The paper introduces a method for identification and assisted controller tuning for industrial process control loops suitable for an 'in-chip' solution. The method is based on utilization of neural network technology. It ...
This paper presents the lessons learned from using the C++ programming language and an object-oriented design methodology for the development of a prototype analysis tool for
inheritance relationships in object-oriented ...
Thoughts are exchanged on Project Management in practice, specifically regarding
projects analysed and systems developed with the Composer by IEF CASE tool. The
information engineering methodology (IEM) that is being ...
An IT/end user relationship is described as intriguing and complex and is based on a physical and abstract dimension. These two dimensions enable one to fully describe the holistic nature of such a relationship and encapsulate ...
Big databases have been built up over time. The information in these databases can be
converted by the Pearl algorithm [ Pearl 1988 ] from data to information. When a
promotional drive is initiated, do we know who the ...
In this extended abstract, we present a brief description of the tutorial. The primary
reference material, a book and some software (1] , is available for ftp from the Eindhoven University of Technology.
In this tutorial, ...
I/O Subsystem performance is one of the key components that impact the business operations of today's organisations. The objective of this paper is to provide a detailed performance evaluation of various storage architectures ...
Traditionally, Technikon training was focused on career-oriented education and training. This has changed over the last few years and research has started to play a major role in Technikon education. This additional objective ...
People work together to solve a wide variety of problems using different forms of
cooperation for each class of problem. Modern technology is complex, and therefore it is unusual for an individual to attempt the development ...
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been proven to be successful general machine
learning techniques for, amongst others, pattern recognition and classification. Realworld
problems in agriculture (soybean, tea), ...
The rapidly changing·end-user computing environment requires an informed recipient of information who can play an active role in the design of information systems to capture. retrieve and interpret data [6). We need our ...
Any company that is involved in manufacturing, must be able to tell the exact difference
between any two products of the same family. This is necessary to enable such a company to support these products during the total ...
The associative network presents a practical and efficient means for the storage and retrieval of data. Although the recall abilities of single-layer associative memories have been well researched[3], little investigation ...
The fundamental concept of the Pythagorean Brotherhood "All things are numbers"
could easily be implemented in processing textual data considered not only from a linguistic point of view but also as a quantity of numbers. ...
Software quality assurance for object-oriented information systems development is the issue dealt with here. A Quality Assurance Reference Model is proposed based on the Revised Spiral Life Cycle Model. The Quality Assurance ...
The term "software engineering" originally appeared as a (some would say, the) solution to the software crisis; the term that has been used to include all the problems, real or perceived, in the use of computers in society. ...
The real-time services offered by modern high speed networks are complex enough to
prompt a new look at how these services should be paid for. In this article, it is motivated that paying for the use of guaranteed services ...
This paper attempts to address the need and justification for a Computer Skills Requirements Model for Zimbabwe as well as the findings and plans following the recently completed Zimbabwe Computer Industry Manpower Survey. ...
