  • The design and implementation of an image processing system 

    Miketinac, Jeanmary (University of Cape TownFaculty of ScienceDepartment of Computer Science, 1978)
    Three of the branches of image processing are touched upon herein: image capture, enhancement and display. Image capture here means 'the making available of an image for further processes to be carried out on it'. This is ...

  • A fast procedure for generating random numbers by a modification of the Marsaglia-Maclaren method 

    Ioannou, Ioannis Elias (University of Cape TownFaculty of ScienceDepartment of Computer Science, 1974)
    Marsaglia and Maclaren combined two linear congruential generators in order to produce a pseudo random number sequence uniformly distributed in the range [0,2³⁵]. Their method is a considerable improvement compared with ...

  • FLOW : a programming environment using diagrams 

    Dooley, Jeffrey Walter Michael (University of Cape TownFaculty of ScienceDepartment of Computer Science, 1984)
    A graphical language is developed as a generalization of the structured flowcharts proposed by Nessi and Shneiderman. This language can be used in the specification of procedures, procedure interfaces and data structures. ...

  • The implementation of a front end processor for a subset of ADA 

    Epstein, Jacqueline (University of Cape TownFaculty of ScienceDepartment of Computer Science, 1983)
    ADA is a high level programing language sponsored by the United States Department of Defence primarily for use in real-time systems. It has all the structures present in modern algorithmic languages with additional features ...

  • Implementation of a structured PL/I subset compiler 

    Goldberg, Colin Barry (University of Cape TownFaculty of ScienceDepartment of Computer Science, 1974)
    The thesis describes the design and implementation of a PL/I subset compiler which produces a hypothetical stack code as output. The compiler was based on a Pascal compiler developed by N. Wirth and U. Amman of Eidgenössische ...

  • Measuring the efficiency of software development in a data processing environment 

    Van der Poel, Klaas Govert (University of Cape TownFaculty of ScienceDepartment of Computer Science, 1982)
    The development of software for data processing systems has, during the last 25 years, grown into a large industry. Thus the efficiency of the software development process is of major importance. It is indicative of the ...

  • The semantic database model as a basis for an automated database design tool 

    Berman, Sonia (University of Cape TownFaculty of ScienceDepartment of Computer Science, 1983)
    The automatic database design system is a design aid for network database creation. It obtains a requirements specification from a user and generates a prototype database. This database is compatible with the Data Definition ...
