A successful software should be finalized with determined and predetermined cost and time. Software is a production which its approximate cost is expert workforce and professionals. The most important and approximate software cost estimation (SCE) is related to the trained workforce. Creative nature of software projects and its abstract nature make extremely cost and time of projects difficult ...

The main goal of software project cost and effort estimation is to scientifically estimate the required workload and its corresponding costs in the life cycle of software system. Software cost estimation is a complex activity that requires knowledge of a number of key attributes that affect the outcomes of software projects, both individually and in concert. The most critical problem is the lot...

A successful cogeneration system design project needs an estimation of the economical parameters of the project, including capital investment, costs of fuel, expenses in maintenance and operating, and the proper cost for the products. This study describes the economic consideration of the benchmark cogeneration systems, called CGAM system located in the United States. To evaluate the profitabil...

Large amounts of software are running on what is considered to be legacy platforms. These systems are often business critical and cannot be phased out without a proper replacement. Migration of these legacy applications can be troublesome due to poor documentation and a changing workforce. Estimating the cost of such projects is nontrivial. Expert estimation is the most common method, but the m...

This paper presents the development of an MODAPTS based cost estimating system to help designers in estimating the manufacturing cost of a assembly products which is belonged from the workers in working fields. Competitiveness of manufacturing cost is getting harder because of the development of Information and telecommunication, but also globalization. Therefore, the accuracy of the assembly c...

Accurate cost estimation at the early stage of a construction project is key factor in success most projects. Many difficulties arise when estimating during design customized furniture manufacturing. It important to estimate product earlier manufacturing phase. The related prediction cost, which commonly includes calculation materials, labor, sales, overhead, and other costs. Historical data pr...

The demand for mass custom parts is increasing, estimating the cost of to a high degree efficiency matter great concern most manufacturing companies. Under premise machining operations, estimation based on features and processes yields accuracy, but it necessitates accurately identifying part’s establishing relationship between feature cost. Accordingly, recognition method syntactic pattern pro...

Software cost estimation is a crucial part of the software project initiation process. Cost estimation plays an important role in the bidding/budgeting and help managers to use their resources at the maximum output level. Software Project failure rate is very high in case the project cost estimation is not done by taking all the important factors into the consideration. So finding the cost at t...

One of the most important tasks for IT professionals is software development cost estimation. This critical task affects the firm's software investment decisions before bidding for a contract or committing required resources to that project. Under-estimation may lead to unexpected increase in budget, delay of project completion or its low quality, while over-estimation may lead to losing busine...
