Working Group Meeting Report USC-CSE Annual Research Review Los Angeles, CA March 16, 2004 Working Group Meeting Report Ricardo Valerdi – USC Center for Software Engineering

COSYSMO Workshop Agenda Morning (8:00 AM – noon) Brief Overview of COSYSMO and Delphi R2 results Updates on action items from October 2003 meeting Open Issues on driver definitions Preliminary Results from exploratory dataset Afternoon (1:00 PM – 5:00 PM) myCOSYSMO update Sizing revisited Life cycle extensions of the model Other open issues & data collection Action items

COSYSMO Introduction Parametric model to estimate system engineering costs Includes 4 size & 14 cost drivers Covers full system engineering lifecycle Developed with USC-CSE Corporate Affiliate and INCOSE participation Conceptualize Operate, Maintain, or Enhance Transition to Operation Replace or Dismantle Oper Test & Eval Develop

Action Items from October ‘03 Need to develop a better way to count requirements Follow up with Delphi respondents that were outliers Normalize the Delphi responses to Nominal # of System Requirements Update Process Capability driver Add “Extra High” ratings to the drivers that contain only 3 rating levels Migration complexity # and diversity of Installations/Platforms

Action Items from Working Group Meeting Subgroups created to work on Life cycle extensions (volatility and reuse) EIA 632 activities included in the model Insert ISO 15504 and CMM/CMMI equivalence (mapping) in the Process Capability Driver Create a Key Process Areas questionnaire Need a scope definitions of what an “organization” means Reduce the Migration Complexity driver from 5 viewpoints to 2 Provide guidance on drivers with multiple viewpoints Remove the words “shall” and “will” from the # of System Requirements driver; instead use the requirements verification matrix for sizing Develop a block diagram of the model envisioned architecture Prepare for Delphi Round 3 Prepare for next working group meeting: July 28th & 29th Keystone, PSM Users’ Group Conference
