2/6/01 ?USC-CSE COSYSMO: Constructive Systems Engineering Cost Model Barry Boehm, USC CSE Annual Research Review February 6, 2001 Background Topic of breakout group at October 2000 COCOMO/SCM Forum Decided on incremental approach Increment I: front-end costs of information systems engineering Coordinating with development of INCOSE-FAA systems engineering maturity data repository Also coordinating with Rational sizing metrics effort COSYSMO Increment I : Scope Expand COCOMO II to information system engineering front end costs Excluding aircraft, printer, etc. system engineering sensors a gray area Excluding Transition effort for now All of Inception and Elaboration effort Construction: Requirements; Deployment; 50% of Design effort Proposed Approach Develop strawman model First iteration internally Second iteration today Discuss Issues (see below) Initial assessment of relative cost/schedule driver influence Develop, experiment with revised model Find appropriate Ph D student Evolving Rational Sizing Model Objective: Obtain “software mass” for COCOMO engine USC “MVC” approach “Model” -- number of classes of data “View” -- number of use cases “Control” -- distribution and algorithm complexity Size new application by MVC comparison to similar applications Overall, very similar to USC strawman sizing approach Preparing to collaborate via Philippe Kruchten Cost Schedule Drivers : Team Factors # of stakeholder communities Average TEAM rating (COCOMO II scale factor) Heterogeneity (domains, cultures) Personnel capability/continuity (PERS-Early Design) Personnel experience (PREX-Early Design) Process maturity (PMAT) Multisite coordination (SITE) Degree of system engineering ceremony Tool support (modified TOOL scale) * University of Southern California Center for Software Engineering C S E USC Outline Background Scope Proposed Approach Strawman Model Size complexity Cost schedule drivers Outputs Issues University of Southern California Center for Software Engine
