IEEE Systems of Systems Engineering Conference presentation
Role of Software Readability on Software Development Cost
(2006-11-07)
This paper explores the role of software readability on software development cost. We
argue that the up front cost of incorporating software readability pays off handsomely at
later stages in the life cycle, especially ...
Cognitive Limits of Software Cost Estimation
(2007-09-20)
This paper explores the cognitive limits of
estimation in the context of software cost estimation.
Two heuristics, representativeness and anchoring,
motivate two experiments involving psychology
students, engineering ...
On the Use of Architectural Products for Cost Estimation
(2006-04-07)
The Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) provides a standard set of views that illustrate specific attributes of a system. These views give different levels of detail and purpose that allow engineers to ...
Zen in the Art of Cost Estimation
(2008)
Engineering cannot wait until all phenomena are explained. Engineers may work
effectively, often for centuries, with heuristics. This paper provides over thirty heuristics that
have been inspired by the development and ...
Cost and Risk Considerations for Test and Evaluation of Unmanned and Autonomous Systems of Systems
(2010-06-22)
The evolutionary nature of Unmanned and Autonomous systems of systems (UASoS) acquisition needs to be matched by evolutionary test capabilities yet to be developed. As part of this effort we attempt to understand the cost ...
Estimating Systems Engineering Reuse
(2009-04-20)
Systems engineering reuse is the utilization of previously developed systems engineering products or artifacts such as
architectures, requirements, and test plans across different projects. Such reuse is ...
