  • Quality in software development : a pragmatic approach using metrics 
    Acton, Daniel; Kourie, Derrick G.; Watson, Bruce William (Computer Society of South Africa, 2014-07)
    As long as software has been produced, there have been e orts to strive for quality in software products. In order to understand quality in software products, researchers have built models of software quality that rely ...
  • Refactoring with ordered collections of fine-grain transformations 
    Saadeh, Emmad I.M.; Kourie, Derrick G. (World Scientific, 2013)
    The objective of this paper is to explain the notion of fine-grain transformations (FGTs), showing how they can be used as prototypical building blocks for constructing refactorings of a design-level system description. ...
  • Reference architecture for android applications to support the detection of manipulated evidence 
    Pieterse, H.; Olivier, Martin S.; Van Heerden, R.P. (South African Institute of Electrical Engineers, 2016-06)
    Traces found on Android smartphones form a significant part of digital investigations. A key component of these traces is the date and time, often formed as timestamps. These timestamps allow the examiner to relate the ...
  • Reference model for a data grid approach to address data in a dynamic SDI 
    Coetzee, Serena Martha (Springer, 2012-01)
    A grid is concerned with the integration, virtualization, and management of services and resources in a distributed, heterogeneous environment that supports virtual organizations across traditional administrative and ...
  • Regularised feed forward neural networks for streamed data classification problems 
    Ellis, Mathys; Bosman, Anna Sergeevna; Engelbrecht, Andries P. (Elsevier, 2024-07)
    Streamed data classification problems (SDCPs) require classifiers to not just find the optimal decision boundaries that describe the relationships within a data stream, but also to adapt to changes in the decision boundaries ...
  • Results from a normative dependency analysis of geographic information standards 
    Coetzee, Serena Martha (Elsevier, 2011-09)
    Standardization in the field of geographic information started in the 1990s when geographic information systems (GIS) matured and the advent of the Internet accelerated the exchange of information. Recent developments, ...
  • A review and comparative study of cancer detection using machine learning : SBERT and SimCSE application 
    Mokoatle, Mpho; Marivate, Vukosi; Mapiye, Darlington; Bornman, Maria S. (Riana); Hayes, Vanessa M. (BMC, 2023-03-23)
