Software companies exploit data about completed projects to estimate the development effort required for new projects. Software size is one of the most important information used to this end. However, different methods for sizing software exist and companies may require to migrate to a new method at a certain point. In this case, in order to exploit historical data they need to resize the past ...

In the dynamic software field there are major challenges in adapting metrics and cost estimation methods to continuing changes. There is a need to assess emerging trends and re-interpret software size measures and estimation models for new processes. Future trends of software systems are overviewed with implications for software sizing and cost estimation capabilities. Methods are shown to hand...

This paper introduces a methodology for evaluating and segregating load requirements and characteristics to size hybrid energy source/storage elements for handling the types of loads for which they are best suited. This work focuses on investigating the use of a dual-source battery and ultracapacitor pack in place of the seemingly unattainable (in satisfying cost, power, energy, and reliability...

This paper proposes a design methodology that is dedicated to improving the concept of modular hybrid power chain uses interleaved converters. The approach involves optimising system under multi-physical constraints, where number cells in converters considered as key parameter. analytical models strike balance between computation time and result accuracy. compromise indispensable construction s...

Finding the correct battery size is important to project's financial success. Many studies utilize complicated simulations identify optimal size. It also difficult reuse outcomes of such optimization in other projects. In this paper, by introducing factor β as energy power ratio, a simple techno-economic model proposed allow quick evaluation feasibility building-integrated storage system (BI-BE...
