The concern with the sustainability of agricultural production has encouraged search for alternative management soil fertility, reducing use mineral fertilizers and increasing organic materials. filter cake as a fertilizer expanded in sugarcane fields. However, despite some studies confirming its technical viability, it is not verified widespread used. aim this work was to plan execute research...

There are various IT frameworks and best practices supporting Information Systems. Each has its own strenghts but none of them satisfies all of the IS requirements independently. In this paper we are studying the possibilities of pooling of the most used frameworks: ITIL, Cobit, PMbok, CMMI, ISO 27001, Val IT and eTOM. The result of this paper is meant to present a Unified Maturity Model combin...

Software process engineering has not been introduced in most small software organizations because of the high cost of implementing it. RAMALA is a knowledge base, supported by a software tool which is also called RAMALA. This knowledge base contains a software process framework based mainly on PMBOK [9], using the best practices of the main software process reference models such as CMMI [11] an...

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to determine an appropriate sequence to develop the components of a project management plan. Some newcomers to project management become overwhelmed due to the complex relations within these components. Network theory is a widely used tool in fields with complex relations within entities, but it has not yet been applied to configure a project managemen...

An efficient software development process is one of key success factors for quality software. Not only can the appropriate establishment but also the continuous improvement of integrated project management and of the software development process result in efficiency. This paper hence proposes a software process maintenance framework which consists of two core components: an integrated PMBOK-Scr...
