Purpose Cost transparency is of central importance to reach a consensus between supply
chain partners. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the instrument of cost analysis …

Accurate estimation of software development effort is strongly associated with the success or
failure of software projects. The clear lack of convincing accuracy and flexibility in this area …

Software effort estimation plays an important role in software project management, and
analogy-based estimation (ABE) is the most common method used for this purpose. ABE …

Software development effort estimation (SDEE) has been the focus of research in recent
years. No single software development estimation technique is best for all situations and …
