Cost Models for Electronic Architecture Trade Studies
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a model for estimating the total cost of a proposed electronic architecture for embedded, distributed, real-time systems. The main purpose of the model is to allow system engineers to compare different solution alternatives with respect to cost, in order to perform an early optimization. This is necessary to cope with the complexity of such systems, and make them profitable for the company producing them. The total cost includes product cost, i.e. the cost of hardware components, hardware development, and software development. The model is modular to allow modifications in order to deal with specific project circumstances. The modelling approach is also general, and could easily be extended to include other characteristics such as weight, reliability, or power consumption, or be used to model other systems than electronics.

A Hybrid Method Based on Fuzzy AHP and VIKOR for the Discrete Time-Cost-Quality Trade-off Problem
Time, cost and quality are considered as the main components in managing each project. Previous researches have mainly focused on the time-cost trade-off problems. Recently quality is considered as the most important factor in project�s success, which is influenced by time acceleration that is the less time is spent the more success is gained. In time-cost-quality trade-off problems, each act...

Although initially originated as a totally empirical relationship to explain the volume of trade between two partners, gravity equation has been the focus of several theoretic models that try to explain it. Specialization models are of great importance in providing a solid theoretic ground for gravity equation in bilateral trade. Some research papers try to improve specialization models by addi...
