bunch rot disease is one of the most important diseases of grapes caused by the storage rot fungi such as aspergillus tubingensis and penicillium crustosum. in this study, some biocontrol mechanisms of two pichia membranaefaciens strains such as competitive potential, the siderophore and toxin production capacity, the interactions between yeast cells and fungal hyphae and also the ability of ly...

trusted 2 This paper traces the approach Unisys 3D Blueprinting used to evaluate the Rational Unified Process, or RUP, in support of the Unisys 3D Blueprint, a business and systems modeling architecture that integrates business vision and IT execution to drive organizational agility.

The Systems Security Engineering Capability Maturity ModelsM (SSE-CMMsM) describes the essential characteristics of an organization's security engineering process. The standard was developed by a unique government-industry consortium of leading security providers and acquirers. This paper summarizes the model and presents lessons learned in the model Is development and from pilot appraisals.

Notwithstanding the relevance of maturity assessments in practice, Information Systems (IS) research has – despite exceptions – yet rarely endeavoured into reflecting and developing theoretically sound maturity models. This paper reports a literature review on maturity models in the IS domain. Specifically, it explores what type of research on maturity models has been undertaken (retrospection)...

A large IT company is creating a generic architecting process. Since the company has set an objective to achieve Maturity Level 3 of the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI), the process needs to comply with the relevant requirements set by the CMMI. This paper presents the elicitation of such requirements, and the resulting set of requirements. It analyzes their potential impact on gen...

A software industry has been more concerned about Software Process Improvement (SPI). Numerous studies have been made in development of SPI standards and models, or to identify factors that affect SPI success. However, these studies did not provide answers to questions about the effect of Geographical Region on the transition time between Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) levels. And...

Maturity models are widely used in process improvement. The users of a maturity model should be confident that the weak points of the assessed processes can be found and that the most valuable changes are introduced. Therefore, the evaluation of maturity models is an important activity. In this paper, a mapping study of the literature on the evaluation of maturity models is presented. Two datab...

Estimation represents one of the most critical processes for any project and it is highly dependent on the quality of requirements elicitation and management. Therefore, the management of requirements should be prioritised in any process improvement program, because the less precise the requirements gathering, analysis and sizing, the greater the error in terms of time and cost estimation. Matu...

The accuracy of touch probes of coordinate measuring machines (CMM) will be analyzed, taking into consideration identification of respective sources of errors.
