organizations. It describes full maintenance maturity models
organized by levels 1, 2, and 3, which allow for benchmarking and
continuous improvement paths. Goals for each key practice area are
also provided, and the model presented is fully aligned with the
architecture and framework of software development maturity models
of CMMI and ISO 15504. It is complete with case studies, figures,
tables, and graphs.
Although the news we are constantly subjected to regarding the
state of human affairs around the globe gives us cause to be
pessimistic about prospects for the future viability of the
species, there are also trends that may suggest a different future.
I have come to this conclusion not out of unfounded optimism or
purely wishful thinking but rather out of the realization that
there exists an insatiable hunger within the vast majority of the
world's people for a more peaceful world grounded in true human
equality and social justice. The desire to satiate this longing is
evidenced by the multitude of voices around the globe that are not
only insisting upon changes in the status-quo but also actively
pursuing paths towards the peaceful transition to a sane and viable
future. These voices are everywhere, and cannot be silenced. This
conclusion can be readily verified by simply searching the Internet
for those organizations built upon the premise of creating the
conditions for a more peaceful and equitable world. Such
organizations focus their attention on human rights abuses and the
often intolerable conditions that are the daily reality of hundreds
of millions of individuals; these kinds of organizations literally
stretch around the globe and are often deeply intertwined.
This book is an original collection of short stories and essays.
The stories depicted cover a panorama of fiction motifs including
literary, science fiction and fantasy genres. The essays presented
represent an examination of a wide range of the many and often
confusing aspects of contemporary life.
