Timing is one of the most critical factors of software size estimation. We need to know quite a bit about the software project to make a meaningful size estimate. However, most of the software estimates should be performed at the beginning of the life cycle, when we do not yet know the problem we are going to solve. In the literature, there are few early size estimation methods. This study demonstrates the results of size estimation methods utilized on a large software intensive military application within the boundary of a project for Request for Proposal (RFP) preparation.

An Error prevention model for cosmic functional size measurement method
Salmanoğlu, Murat; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2012)
Estimation and measurement of the size of software is crucial for project management activities. Functional size measurement is one of the most frequently used methods to measure size of software and COSMIC is one of the popular methods for functional size measurement. Although precise size measurement is critical, the results may differ because of the errors made in the measurement process. The erroneous measurement results cause lack of confidence for the methods as well as reliability problems for effort...
A unification model and tool support for software functional size measurement methods
Efe, Pınar; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2006)
Software size estimation/measurement has been the objective of a lot of research in the software engineering community due to the need of reliable size estimates. FSM Methods have become widely used in software project management to measure the functional size of software since its first publication, late 1970s. Although all FSM methods measure the functional size by quantifying the FURs, each method defined its own measurement process and metric. Therefore, a piece of software has several functional sizes ...
An Automated defect detection approach for cosmic functional size measurement
Yılmaz, Gökçen; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2012)
Software size measurement provides a basis for software project management and plays an important role for its activities such as project management estimations, process benchmarking, and quality control. As size can be measured with functional size measurement (FSM) methods in the early phases of the software projects, functionality is one of the most frequently used metric. On the other hand, FSMs are being criticized by being subjective. The main aim of this thesis is increasing the accuracy of the measu...
A Content-Boosted Collaborative Filtering Approach for Movie Recommendation Based on Local and Global Similarity and Missing Data Prediction
Özbal, Gozde; Karaman, Hilal; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2011-09-01)
Most traditional recommender systems lack accuracy in the case where data used in the recommendation process is sparse. This study addresses the sparsity problem and aims to get rid of it by means of a content-boosted collaborative filtering approach applied to a web-based movie recommendation system. The main motivation is to investigate whether further success can be obtained by combining 'local and global user similarity' and 'effective missing data prediction' approaches, which were previously introduce...
A Software functionality model for functional size measurement
Özkan, Barış; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2012)
Functional size is among the few software size measures for which well-structured and standardized methods exists for its measurement. Although Functional Size Measurement(FSM) methods have gone a long way, one ongoing criticism on FSM methods is the discrepancies in the measurement results of the same software obtained by different measures. In this thesis study the sources of discrepancies that involve the functional properties of measurands and constructs of the FSM method models are investigated in two ...
