eGovernment has been defined as Information and Communication Technology (ICT) enabled route to good governance. eGovernment is an evolutionary path that its effective implementation requires a complete understanding of constituting elements and at the same time taking a holistic view to stay focused on its overall objectives. This paper introduces a new heuristic model that could be used to me...

The evolution of a software language (whether modelled by a grammar or a schema or a metamodel) is not limited to development of new versions and dialects. An important dimension of a software language evolution is maturing in the sense of improving the quality of its definition. In this paper, we present a maturity model used within the Grammar Zoo to assess and improve the quality of grammars...

In this paper we present a shortened version of the Cloud Forensic Maturity Model (CFMM). It composes of two inter-related parts, i.e., the Cloud Forensic Investigative Architecture (CFIA) and the Cloud Forensic Capability Matrix (CFCM). The CFMM is developed in order to create a reference model to evaluate and improve cloud forensic maturity. It is a part an on-going project, and is evaluted b...

Research portals are websites that present information about certain research activities and their corresponding results in a structured manner. Institutions like universities, businesses, or governmental organizations use them as knowledge base to identify and communicate “who researches on what” or “where can the relevant information, people, or funds be found”. Furthermore, such portals are ...

This article addresses a paradox surrounding psychosocial maturity and self-actualizing in relation to well-being. Several stage theories of maturity (notably ego development; Loevinger, 1976) culminate in self-actualizing, which Maslow (1968) characterizes as the pinnacle of psychological health and well-being. However, empirical measures of maturity and well-being do not correlate. In a reana...

Based on the specific elements in terms of process area, project, practice and relevant methodologies, which were adopted from Capability Maturity Model Integration(CMMI), this paper studied feasible appraisal program that combined the CMMI implementation cycle model into entire software process, therefore, the index system and measurement model in measuring the quality of software developing p...

The concept of process maturity proposes that a process has a lifecycle that is measured by the extent to which the process is explicitly defined, managed, measured, controlled and effective. A maturity model assumes that progress comes in stages, ultimately reaching an end goal. The supply chain maturity model is based upon concepts developed by Philip Crosby, who devised a maturity grid for t...
