Where:
PMNS = effort in Person Months (Nominal Schedule)
A = calibration constant derived from historical project data
k = {REQ, IF, ALG, SCN}
wx = weight for “easy”, “nominal”, or “difficult” size driver
 x = quantity of “k” size driver
Ex = represents diseconomies of scale
EM = effort multiplier for the jth cost driver. The geometric product results in an
overall effort adjustment factor to the nominal effort.
Size Drivers vs. Effort Multipliers
• Size Drivers: Additive, Incremental
– Impact of adding a new item inversely proportional to
current size
• 10 -> 11 rqts = 10% increase
• 100 -> 101 rqts = 1% increase
• Effort Multipliers: Multiplicative, system-wide
– Impact of adding a new item independent of current
size
• 10 rqts + high security = 40% increase
• 100 rqts + high security = 40% increase

1. Reuse
• Central question: What is the effect of reuse in
estimating systems engineering size/effort?
• Hypothesis: A COSYSMO reuse submodel will improve
the model’s estimation accuracy
• POC: Jared Fortune
• References
– Valerdi, R., Wang, G., Roedler, G., Rieff, J., Fortune, J.,
“COSYSMO Reuse Extension,” 22nd International Forum on
COCOMO and Systems/Software Cost Modeling, 2007.
2. Integration of SwE & SysE estimation
• Central question: What is the overlap between
COCOMO II and COSYSMO?
• Hypothesis: By identifying the WBS elements in
COSYSMO that overlap with the WBS in COCOMO II,
the systems engineering resource estimation accuracy
increases
• POC: Ricardo Valerdi
• References
– Valerdi, R., The Architect and the Builder: Overlaps Between
Software and Systems Engineering. (working paper)
3. Linearity in COSYSMO cost drivers
• Central question: How do we characterize the nonlinearity of cost drivers across the system life cycle?
• Hypothesis: Not all cost drivers have a constant impact
on systems engineering effort throughout the life cycle.
• POC: Gan Wang
• References
– Wang, G., Valerdi, R., Boehm, B., Shernoff, A., “Proposed
Modification to COSYSMO Estimating Relationship,” 18th
INCOSE Symposium, June 2008.
4. Effect of cost drivers and scale factors
• Central question: Can some of the cost drivers become
scale factors in the cost estimating relationship
calibrated by the new data set?
• Hypothesis: The current set of size and cost drivers are
too sensitive to small variations in rating levels.
• POC: Gan Wang
• References
– Wang, G., Valerdi, R., Boehm, B., Shernoff, A., “Proposed
Modification to COSYSMO Estimating Relationship,” 18th
INCOSE Symposium, June 2008.
Note from GJR: Potential relationship between this and improvement #7. Also, in reality, number of
recursive levels has a different impact on the effort than other cost drivers. This may be able to be
addressed by this improvement, by improvement #5, or could be a separate improvement depnding
on scope of each. Should be an item for discussion as we go through these.
5. Number of recursive levels of design
• Central question: How can the integration complexity of
system elements one layer below the system-of-interest
be operationalized?
• Hypothesis: The integration complexity of system
elements is a predictor of systems engineering effort.
• POC: John Rieff
• References
– Marksteiner, B., “Recursive Levels and COSYSMO”, October
2007. (working paper)
6. Risk Modeling
• Central question: How can risk associated with the
COSYSMO estimate be quantified?
• Hypothesis: The output generated by COSYSMO can be
quantified using probability distributions for better
assessment of the likelihood of meeting the estimate
• POC: John Gaffney (developer of COSYSMO-R)
• References
– Valerdi, R., Gaffney, J., “Reducing Risk and Uncertainty in
COSYSMO Size and Cost Drivers: Some Techniques for
Enhancing Accuracy,” 5th Conference on Systems Engineering
Research, March 2007, Hoboken, NJ.
7. Best practice guidance for use of Cost Drivers
• Central question: How can misuse of the COSYSMO
cost drivers be avoided?
• Hypothesis: By developing a best practice guide that
describes common pitfalls associated with COSYSMO
cost drivers, over-estimation can be reduced or avoided
• POC: Garry Roedler
• References
– COSYSMO User Manual
8. Consideration of SoS scope in COSYSMO
• Central question: How can COSYSMO be updated to
address system of systems effort estimation?
• Hypothesis: To be discussed in joint session
• POC: Jo Ann Lane
9. Estimation in Operation & Maintenance Phase
• Central question: How can we estimate systems
engineering effort in the Operate & Maintain phase?
• Hypothesis: Coverage of the Operate & Maintenance
phases will broaden to model’s life cycle coverage
• POC: Ricardo Valerdi
10. Requirements volatility
• Central question: How do we quantify the effects of
requirements volatility on systems engineering effort
throughout the life cycle?
• Hypothesis: Requirements volatility is a significant factor
for predicting systems engineering effort and can serve
as a leading indicator for project success
• POC: Ricardo Valerdi
