Conference Theme:Software Sizing Metrics in Light of Recent
Systems/Software Engineering Trends The topic of this year's Forum is Software Sizing. We are going to explore Software Sizing Metrics in Light of Recent Systems/Software Engineering Trends. Trends such as visual programming, object-oriented methods, stories as requirements, COTS-based systems, and legacy software are topics of particular interest. The forum will begin with tutorials on key sizing issues, including Koni Thompson of the David Consulting Group discussing how to deal with evolving standards in Function Point/Lines of Code ratios. Other highlights of the Forum will include a discussion of an in-process COCOMO®II.2003 calibration to about 40 more data-points; availability of Agile COCOMO® II, a simple web-based analogy-estimation version of COCOMO® II for small and agile-methods projects; and early versions of two COCOMO® II extensions for estimating ROI's for investments in software product lines and information system dependability. Associated workshops will cover evolving USC and other research on models for sizing, system engineering cost estimation, elaboration of cost driver definitions, and costs of developing secure software.
