THIRD ANNUAL COCOMO USERS' GROUP MEETING
Software Engineering Institute
Carnegie Mellon University
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
November 4-5, 1987
General Chair: Clyde Chittister, SEI
Program Chair: Richard Fairley, Wang Institute
Program Committee: Barry Boehm, TRW
Bernard Price, U.S. Army
Paul Rook, GEC Software UK
Dan Ligett, Softstar
The first two annual COCOMO Users' Group meeting at the Wang Institute
provided an opportunity for COCOMO users and software cost estimation
researchers from government, industry, and universities to share experiences
with COCOMO and other cost estimation models, and to examine several
implementations of cost estimation tools based on COCOMO.
The Third Annual COCOMO Users' Group meeting will be held at the new
Software Engineering Institute facility of Carnegie Mellon University in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on November 4 & 5, 1987. One of the major focal
points will be adaptation of COCOMO and other models to estimating the
effects of using Ada on software project effort, schedule, and life-cycle
costs. In particular, Barry Boehm and Walker Royce will present the TRW
work on Ada related process models and cost estimation tools.
Other topics to be discussed will include alternative cost estimation
models, extensions to COCOMO, and implementation techniques for COCOMO
models. The program will include about 12 invited presentations and 10 tool
demonstrations. Attendance will be limited to around 90 participants.
Persons interested in making a technical presentation or demonstrating a
COCOMO-related tool should send a 1 to 2 page abstract to:
Professor Richard E. Fairley
Wang Institute of Graduate Studies
Tyng Road
Tyngsboro, MA 01879
Abstracts due: 1 September 1987
Notification: 1 October 1987
Persons interested in general participation should also write to Professor
Fairley by 1 September 1987.
