COSYSMO Briefing COSYSMO Overview COSYSMO (Constructive SYStem engineering cost MOdel) Member of USC COCOMO II suite of cost estimation models COSYSMO is being developed to estimate the system engineering effort and duration for software-intensive systems Uses SE tasks from EIA 632 Current stage of COSYSMO involves only inception phase of the MBASE systems development life cycle —Future versions will address latter life cycle phases

COSYSMO Briefing Reference System The COSYSMO project framed the model using a reference system (Satellite Ground System) —Identified systems engineering activties —Defined the components of the labor estimate Reference System facilitated the identification of systems engineering tasks/jobs in terms of: —General Systems Engineering Tasks —Software —Hardware —Communications Architecture: Interfaces view Initial scope of COSYSMO model is based on the scope of the example system

6 Copyright © 2001, Software Productivity Consortium NFP, Inc. COSYSMO Briefing Effort The COSYSMO model is being developed to be compatible with COCOMO II Its underlying effort estimating equation will be of the following form: Where: a = constant Size = estimate of the size of the systems engineering effort SD = size drivers EM = Effort Multipliers

11 Copyright © 2001, Software Productivity Consortium NFP, Inc. COSYSMO Briefing Delphi Round I Delphi Objectives: —Determine range for the size of each driver and relative effort per difficulty class —Determine range of effort multiplier values This Delphi effort will initially calibrate the model based on expert opinions Data from completed systems will then be used to determine statistical accuracy Delphi Round I ends February 15 th, 2002 Results of Delphi to be presented at the Annual Research Review for the Center for Software Engineering on Monday March 11 th, 2002 —

12 Copyright © 2001, Software Productivity Consortium NFP, Inc. COSYSMO Briefing COSYSMO Conclusion COSYSMO effort is moving forward and has significant momentum COSYSMO team needs systems engineering experts to make the Delphi data collection survey successful INCOSE MWG can help by: —Completing Delphi survey and returning them by February 15 th, 2002 —Circulating this questionnaire to other known ‘experts’ (Focus on quality input, not volume of responses)
