The Capability Maturity Model Integration ( CMMI ) project was formed to sort out the problem of using multiple models for software development processes, thus the CMMI model has superseded the CMM model, though the CMM model continues to be a general theoretical process capability model used in the public domain.

This area has been driven by the use of Maturity models such as the CMMI ( capability maturity model integration ; see this example of a predecessor ) and ISO / IEC15504 ( SPICE – software process improvement and capability estimation ).

* Modeling Maturity Level, a scale to indicate to which degree an architecture uses models ( used in software development )

To summarize the purpose of the Skeletal Maturity Chart: each contains two kinds of skeletal maturity norms which show two quite different methods of depicting developmental level of growth centers.

The full representation of the Capability Maturity Model as a set of defined process areas and practices at each of the five maturity levels was initiated in 1991, with Version 1. 1 being completed in January 1993.

* Maturity Levels: a 5-level process maturity continuum-where the uppermost ( 5th ) level is a notional ideal state where processes would be systematically managed by a combination of process optimization and continuous process improvement.

* Interest at Maturity, usually loan or deposit given for special period with only two principal exchanges made at the settlement and maturity dates

* High Maturity Program, a concept in Software development maturity.

This in turn does not appropriately reflect the Yield to Maturity of the underlying asset as it approaches par value at maturity.

Maturity and sophistication bring the capability to suffer the vile talk with aplomb at least, and, hopefully, with grace and wit.

* Integrated Project Management, a Capability Maturity Model Integration process area

Capability Maturity Model Integration ( CMMI ) is a process improvement approach.

The Software Engineering Institute has its own process assessment and improvement methods, called CMMi ( Capability Maturity Model — integrated ) and IDEAL respectively.

The Software Engineering Institute's Capability Maturity Model is a common means of assessing the overall software development process for reliability and quality purposes.

To fulfill these needs, Microsoft represents the metamodel of MSF 4. 0 in two prescriptive methodology templates that provide specific process guidance, named Microsoft Solutions Framework for Agile Software Development ( MSF4ASD ) and Microsoft Solutions Framework for Capability Maturity Model Integration Process Improvement ( MSF4CMMI ).

Capability Maturity Model was created at the Software Engineering Institute of Carnegie Mellon University, and is a process improvement approach that provides organizations with the essential elements of continuous process improvement resulting in a reduced SDLC, improved ability to meet the cost and schedule targets, building products of high quality.

The Maturity Chart for each sex demonstrates clearly that Onset is a phenomenon of infancy and early childhood whereas Completion is a phenomenon of the later portion of adolescence.

There the middle one of the three curves denotes `` mean Skeletal Age '' for the Maturity Series boys and girls.

Maturity is typically 55-60 days from planting to harvest.

The Capability Maturity Model ( CMM ) ( a registered service mark of Carnegie Mellon University, CMU ) is a development model created after study of data collected from organizations that contracted with the U. S. Department of Defense, who funded the research.

The Capability Maturity Model was originally developed as a tool for objectively assessing the ability of government contractors ' processes to perform a contracted software project.

The Quality Management Maturity Grid was developed by Philip B. Crosby in his book Quality is Free, which advanced the position that quality-improvement activities paid for themselves by reducing the related costs.

Humphrey based this framework on the earlier Quality Management Maturity Grid developed by Philip B. Crosby in his book " Quality is Free ".

Watts Humphrey's Capability Maturity Model ( CMM ) was published in 1988 and as a book in 1989, in Managing the Software Process.

The Earned Value Maturity Model.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. tried combining XP with the computer programming methods of Capability Maturity Model Integration ( CMMI ), and Six Sigma.

* Capability Maturity Model from the Software Engineering Institute.

Dramatic and romantic content characterized the central themes of his maturity, and led him not to the classical models of Greek and Roman art, but to travel in North Africa, in search of the exotic.

* Definition and use of maturity models to evaluate a methodical and content related process efficiency

ISO / IEC 15504 initially was derived from process lifecycle standard ISO / IEC 12207 and from maturity models like Bootstrap, Trillium and the CMM.

ISO / IEC 15504 is the reference model for the maturity models ( consisting of capability levels which in turn consist of the process attributes and further consist of generic practices ) against which the assessors can place the evidence that they collect during their assessment, so that the assessors can give an overall determination of the organization's capabilities for delivering products ( software, systems, and IT services ).

CMMI was developed by the CMMI project, which aimed to improve the usability of maturity models by integrating many different models into one framework.

The business orientation of COBIT consists of linking business goals to IT goals, providing metrics and maturity models to measure their achievement, and identifying the associated responsibilities of business and IT process owners.

** 2. 8 Knowledge of the use of maturity models

Melzak's and Lambek's primitive models reduced this notion to four elements: ( i ) discrete, distinguishable locations, ( ii ) discrete, indistinguishable counters ( iii ) an agent, and ( iv ) a list of instructions that are effective relative to the capability of the agent.

These vehicles typically sacrifice some depth of capability from civilian models in order to gain greater speed and independence from prime movers.

Basic models of the Nova came without built-in hardware multiply and divide capability, to keep prices competitive.

To smooth the transition from second generation to the new line, IBM used the 360's microprogramming capability to emulate the more popular older models.

Lower-case capability and possibility of dead keys, at first a simple RPQ ( Request Price Quotation, tailored on request at extra cost ) was only added in 3278 & 3279 models.

The most common feature of a Metal Gear is the capability to launch nuclear missiles, though this feature is absent in the two newest models in the series ; Metal Gears RAY and GEKKO.

At the beginning of the series two prototypes of this class, the ' Manus ' heavy weapons and ' Corus ' combat support models, had been designed with the capability to combine with a robotic assistant, named Octus, to form the titular ' Sym-Bionic Titan '.

Many models offer various types of analog modulation, either as standard equipment or as an optional capability to the base unit.

The 145 microcode architecture simplified the addition of virtual memory, allowing this capability to be present in early 145s without the extensive hardware modifications needed in other models.

These characteristics made them well suited for many jobs, though the lack of independent thought in the cheaper, less advanced models limited their capability.

With very low light capability, few specific models of Webcams are very popular to shoot night sky by astronomers and astro photographers.

Makers of recumbent trikes include KMX ; Hase ( who make the Kettwiesel delta, improbably named after the British children's programme Catweazle ); Inspired Cycle Engineering, who make the Trice range of tadpole trikes ; AVD, who build the record holding Burrows Windcheetah or Speedy, a design exhibited in the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art ( MoMA ); Australia's Greenspeed, one of the oldest manufacturers ; Michigan-based WhizWheelz, which makes 10 models, including a tadpole and a tandem ; Big Cat HPV which builds the eight Catrike models in Florida and Sidewinder Cycle which has a front wheel drive system with rear wheel steering builds 3 models all with Electric assist capability located in California.

This limited these early models to attacks on strategic targets like cities and ports, and the system had little or no capability as a counterforce weapon.

Pure capability architectures are supported by well-tested and mature mathematical security models.

Some models include VOX capability for hands-free operation, as well as the ability to attach external microphones and speakers.

* To provide the scientific background for designing an observing and data transmission system for operational predication, if this capability is demonstrated, by coupled ocean-atmosphere models.

Early models of the DECstation were heavily integrated systems with little expansion capability and do not even possess expansion buses.

However, until now, most of the psychological models have had a rather heuristic nature, e. g. risk theories such as the risk compensation hypothesis, Fuller's task capability model, and thus are not sufficiently precise to allow for concrete behavioral prediction and control.

Finally the Intrepid M designation was changed to refer only to models using external NAS storage served by a NetApp filer ; the model with its own internal storage was then redesignated Intrepid S. The last Intrepid release included monitoring capability for managed machines and the Intrepid itself plus a sophisticated policy engine that permitted on-the-fly rebooting or rebinding of managed machines to new ones from a reserved pool as dictated by policy rules.

* VoIP-The STE now has Voice over Internet Protocol ( VoIP ) capability, available as an upgrade to the current models, or built in to some new models.
