This chapter provides an overview of the Capability Maturity Model for Software (CMM VI.1). CMM Vl. l describes the software engineering and management practices that characterize organizations as their processes for developing and maintaining software mature. This chapter stresses the need for a process maturity framework to prioritize improvement actions; describes the five maturity levels, k...

Coordinate measuring machines (CMM) are main instruments of measurement in laboratories and in industrial quality control. A compensation error model has been formulated (Part I). It integrates error and uncertainty in the feature measurement model. Experimental implementation for the verification of this model is carried out based on the direct testing on a moving bridge CMM. The regression re...

The Capability Maturity Model (CMM) for Software is a development framework that describes the key elements for an effective software process. Cleanroom software engineering (CSE) is a managerial and engineering process for the development of high quality software with certified reliability. The combination of CMM management and organizational capabilities and the judicious application of Clean...

This paper describes an assessment of the Rational Unified Process (RUP) based on the Capability Maturity Model (CMM). For each key practice (KP) identified in each key process area (KPA) of CMM levels 2 and 3, the Rational Unified Process was assessed to determine whether it satisfied the KP or not. For each KPA, the percentage of the key practices supported was calculated, and the results wer...

Currently the UK construction industry is in search of continuous process improvement mechanisms, in order to improve quality and reduce construction time and costs. Likewise the software industry has been in search of process improvement frameworks, in the past decade. The Capability Maturity Model (CMM), developed by the Carnegie Mellon University, is one of the most widely adopted process im...

We propose a maturity model for computing education which is inspired by the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) used in software engineering. Similar to CMM, the Computing Education Maturity Model (CEMM) can be used to rate educational organisations according to their capability to deliver highquality education on a five level scale. Furthermore, CEMM can be used in order to improve an institution...

This article summarizes some thoughts on making the transition from conventional software management techniques to modern ones. In particular, I want to endorse the improvements in the Software Engineering Institute's new CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration)1 approach and motivate development organizations to apply the approach correctly. Although I have always been a supporter of the s...

This paper presents the achievement of a China NSFC project. A technique to calibrate laser tracker using CMM has been developed. A laser tracker with working range of 35m can be calibrated accurately and quickly using a CMM with working range of 1m. Studies have shown that angular errors are the key contributor to measuring errors of laser tracker. A device to measure angular errors of laser t...
