Applying CBR to estimate software costs
Most of current software costs estimation approaches based on statistical models appear to be too complicated and hard to apply in reality. This paper proposes an approach to estimate software costs using Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) where the costs of a new project are estimated by firstly retrieving the similar previous project and then adapting its costs to the current conditions. The project is described as an ontology which allows the managers to estimate with various level of requirement analysis. Moreover, the statistical analysis results of the COCOMO model are utilized to reflect the domain knowledge URI: http://repository.vnu.edu.vn/handle/VNU_123/14500
