Author:Oosthuizen, RudolphDate:Sep 2021Management of Technology (MoT) has evolved since its inception in the 1980s and definitions from the 1990s. However, the field's definition may not be keeping up with the ever-increasing changes in our world. This paper implements bibliometrics, ...Read more
Author:Oosthuizen, Rudolph; Pretorius, LDate:Jul 2020Since systems engineering is still a relatively young and growing discipline, it requires a periodic analysis, taking into account past research to derive the requirements for future growth. Published research provides a good indication on ...Read more
Author:Malherbe, Johan; Smit, IDate:Sep 2018We consider rainfall variability over the Lowveld in northeastern South Africa during the last 8 decades and demonstrate the persistence of a bi-decadal rainfall cycle in the region. We also note associations with the Southern Annular Mode ...Read more
Author:Nortje, R; Britz, k; Meyer, TDate:Jul 2011The authors introduce an algorithm for MinA extraction in EL based on bidirectional reachability. They obtain a significant reduction in the size of modules extracted at almost no additional cost to that of extracting standard reachability-based ...Read more
Author:Shozi, Nobubele A; Mtsweni, Jabu SDate:Mar 2016Big data is a term that describes data of huge volumes, variable speeds, and different structures. Even though the rise of big data can yield positives, the nature of big data poses challenges as capturing, processing and storing becomes ...Read more
