Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImproving the Accuracy of Effort Estimation through Fuzzy Set Representation of SizeCh. Satyananda Reddy, KVSVN RajuProblem statement: The precision and reliability of the effort estimation is very important for the competitiveness of software companies. The uncertainty at the input level of the Constructive Cost Model (COCOMO) yields uncertainty at the output, which leads to gross estimation error in the effort estimation. Fuzzy logic-based cost estimation models are more appropriate when vague and imprecise information was … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA HYBRID INTELLIGENT MODEL FOR SOFTWARE COST ESTIMATIONWei Lin Du, Luiz Fernando Capretz, Ali Bou Nassif, Danny HoAccurate software development effort estimation is critical to the success of software projects. Although many techniques and algorithmic models have been developed and implemented by practitioners, accurate software development effort prediction is still a challenging endeavor in the field of software engineering, especially in handling uncertain and imprecise inputs and collinear characteristics. In this study, a hybrid intelligent model combining … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 28 Sep 2013 · 7,745 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Algorithmic Cost Estimation Model Based on Soft Computing TechniqueIman Attarzadeh, Siew Hock OwProblem statement: Software development effort estimation is the process of predicting the most realistic use of effort required for developing software based on some parameters. It has always characterized one of the biggest challenges in Computer Science for the last decades. Because time and cost estimate at the early stages of the software development are the most difficult to obtain … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,927 accessesView PDFCite
