Knowledge-based cost estimating vs traditional software cost models

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7107111
A knowledge-based system, ADP-Estimator, is under development to perform ADP project cost estimating. Designed to retain crucial expertise held by experienced project leaders, this system allows new project leaders to interactively generate cost estimates. Initially, project leaders indicate constraints (e.g. personnel levels, equipment, and facilities) placed upon a project. The system uses these to identify resources and procedures required for project completion. The efficacy of this system is compared with manual efforts and traditional software cost models.
