A fast procedure for generating random numbers by a modification of the Marsaglia-Maclaren method
(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 ...
Exploiting persistence in CASE technology
(1997)
A Design Workbench has been built for Napier88 [MBC+94] as part of the natural progression towards developing better product systems and improving software construction tools. The system includes a Metamodeller (enabling ...
Implementation of a structured PL/I subset compiler
(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 ...
Analytical differentiation by computer using a Symmetrical List Processor
(1972)
The Symmetrical List Processor SLIP; developed by Professor Joseph Weizenbaum of MIT, was implemented with considerable modifications and additions on the University of Cape Town computer. A package to perform automated ...
An Estelle compiler
(1988)
The increasing development and use of computer networks has necessitated international standards to be defined. Central to the standardization efforts is the concept of a Formal Description Technique (FDT) which is used ...

(2017)
Citizen-centered safety enhancement is an integral component of public safety and a top priority for decision makers in a smart city development. However, public safety agencies are constantly faced with the challenge of ...
A highly accessible application for detection and classification of maize foliar diseases from leaf images
(2017)
Crop diseases are a major impediment to food security in the developing world. The development of cheap and accurate crop diagnosis software would thus be of great benefit to the farming community. A number of previous ...
Natural language interface to relational database: a simplified customization approach
(2016)
Natural language interfaces to databases (NLIDB) allow end-users with no knowledge of a formal language like SQL to query databases. One of the main open problems currently investigated is the development of NLIDB systems ...
Investigating the potential for a user-driven electricity monitoring application to provide useful electricity consumption patterns
(2017)
Conventional electricity usage monitoring involves complex data collection via costly and intrusive hardware installation. There is a perceived need for a simple and affordable tool that provides users with feedback about ...
