Total supply chain cost model
… project delivered a conceptual framework and a software tool to analyze supply chain costs associated with a specified supply chain design. Determining total supply chain cost is a complex challenge. This work developed the concept of a hierarchical, inter-related, multi-level supply chain cost …

Reducing the risk of software cost estimation
Inaccurate cost estimation is a well-known problem in software development. The common cost estimation models are point estimates that are unable to quantify uncertainties. Furthermore, it is difficult to calibrate the uncertainties in cost estimation due to the lack of information. The purpose of …

Design and implementation of an Intelligent Cost Estimation Model for Decision Support System software
… have not carried over into developing better models to estimate the real cost of developing the DSS. This thesis explores various estimation methods that seem pertinent to DSS. It advocates the use of a combination of modeling tools particularly tailored to the users' environment. An …

Testing Software Development Project Productivity Model
<p>Software development is an increasingly influential factor in today’s business environment, and a major issue affecting software development is how an organization estimates projects. If the organization underestimates cost, schedule, and quality requirements, the end results will not meet …

Model driven software modernisation
… requirements relegate more and more existing software to legacy status. Generating software through reusing legacy systems has been a primary solution and software re-engineering has the potential to improve software productivity and quality across the entire software life cycle. The classical …

Comparative analysis between FPA and COCOMO techniques for software cost estimation
Software cost estimation is the process of predicting the effort required to develop a software system. The basic inputs for the software cost estimation are programs, size and set of cost drivers, while the output is effort in the form of person-month and cost. In this thesis, Function Point …

Low cost and portable software defined radio ground station
… to develop. However, with the introduction of Software Defined Radios (SDRs) many of the operations formerly done using hardware can now be implemented in software. Using a SDR can substantially reduce the cost of a traditionally hardware-based ground station. A number of universities and other …

A multiple stress, multiple component stress screening cost model
… and the time duration of the stress screen. A cost model is developed that trades off the cost of a field failure with the cost of applying a multiple stress, multiple component stress screen. The objective is to minimize this cost function in order to find an economical stress regimen. The …

Control-Theoretic Decision Support for Mitigation of Modeled Software Project Cost Overruns
… sixty years of practice, the production of software remains an endeavor that is difficult to manage according to a schedule. Control theory studies the ability to influence the dynamical behavior of systems to achieve desired behaviors or eliminate undesired behaviors. In this work, the …

A Framework for BIM Model-Based Construction Cost Estimation
… to conduct a quantity take-off (QTO) and cost estimate within the Building Information Modeling (BIM) Environment. The product of this framework is a model-based cost estimating tool. The framework addresses the cost uncertainty associated with the detailed information defining BIM model …

A Descriptive Performance Model of Small, Low Cost, Diskless Beowulf Clusters
… known as Beowulf clusters, have become a low cost alternative to traditional supercomputers. Beowulf clusters combine inexpensive computers and specialized software to achieve supercomputing power. The processing nodes in a diskless Beowulf cluster do not have a local hard disk unlike the …

An Exploration of parametric software cost estimating models for Jackson Systems Development
Most parametric software cost estimation models used today evolved in the late 70's and early 80's. At that time, the dominant software development techniques being used were the early 'structured methods'. Since then, several new systems development paradigms and methods have emerged, one being …

0 + 0 = 1 : the appliance model of selling software bundled with hardware
The business model of selling software bundled with hardware is called the appliance model. As hardware becomes less and less expensive and open source software is being offered for free, the traditional business model of selling packaged software is being threatened. This disruption in the …

Compiler Cost Model for Multicore Architectures
… and optimization phases, compilers' cost models that guide optimizations should be extended to consider these performance bottlenecks that can occur on multicore architectures. Therefore, the goal of this dissertation is to develop compile time models that quantitatively estimate the …

An algebraic model of software evolution
A model of the software evolution process, called the Abstraction Refinement Model, is described which builds on the algebraic influence of the Laws of Programming and the transformational Draco Paradigm. The result is an algebraic structure consisting of the states of the software product (system …
