9.1.1 A Highly Automated CMMI‐Driven Self‐Organizing and Mapped (SOM) Document Library
David G. Beshore · INCOSE International Symposium · 2005
Abstract Over the past 10 years, systems engineering standards and process improvement models have matured to CMMI, IEEE/EIA 12207, and ISO 15288. A novel automated technique for rapidly capturing systems and software engineering specialty knowledge by ‘relevance’ algorithms while displaying the data in three‐dimensional Self Organizing Maps (SOMs) has been developed. Tools are based on the author's REALM© (Requirements Enabled Automated Learning Method) process that is used to categorize and rank any size document set to any baseline document set, including websites. The examples in this paper illustrate a document set that represents nearly 3000 pages of content (past maturity models, process implementation procedures, handbooks, books, websites and tools). The highest scoring process definition documents related to the CMMI are a Systems Engineering Process Manual (SEPM) and IEEE/EIA 12207. REALM© has other applications: systems and software handbooks, standards, contracts, appraisals, assessments, audits, proposal requests (RFPs), proposals, design reviews, test plans, statements of objectives (SOO), work statements (SOW), business plans, etc.
