Automated classification of artifacts produced by mechanical computer-aided design (CAD) is a unique research frontier for 3D matching and mesh processing. Unlike general graphical models, mechanical CAD artifacts have a physical realization via a variety of manufacturing processes as well as functional and behavioral attributes. The general problem of how to best correlate low-level shape data...

Software cost estimation is the process of predicting the effort required to develop a software system. The basic input for the software cost estimation is coding size and set of cost drivers, the output is Effort in terms of Person-Months (PM’s). Here, the use of support vector regression (SVR) has been proposed for the estimation of software project effort. We have used the COCOMO dataset and...

The cost of a Software Product Line (SPL) development project sometimes exceeds the initially planned cost, because of requirements volatility and poor quality. In this paper, we propose a cost overrun simulation model for time-boxed SPL development. The model is an enhancement of a previous model, specifically now including: consideration of requirements volatility, consideration of unplanned ...

Studies on manufacturing cost prediction based deep learning have begun in recent years, but the rationale cannot be explained because models are still used as a black box. This study aims to propose process for 3D computer-aided design (CAD) using explainable artificial intelligence. The proposed can visualize machining features of CAD model that influencing increase costs. consists (1) data c...

Cost estimation process becomes a crucial factor in any software development project. An effective software estimate provides the information needed to design a workable software development plan. An effective software estimate provides important information for making project decisions, projecting performance and defining objectives and plans. Without the proper guidance in a project, the resu...

1. Software Project Cost Estimation The development and use of effective and efficient methods for estimating the costs of software development remain difficult challenges in software engineering. Many studies have shown wide discrepancies between estimates and actual costs and completion schedules of software development (e.g., [Vijayakumar 19971). Project managers strive to make accurate esti...
