BOEHM CSSE

This Forum is co-sponsored by The Aerospace Corporation and will be both online and in person. This year’s focus is on new challenges in measurement and cost modeling. Specific topics of interest for this year include:

• Workforce, development, turnover, and training challenges (e.g., generational communication, experience gap).
• Coping with lack of knowledge among younger engineers in cost modeling – a cultural influence from senior engineers mentoring younger engineers.
• Measurement and cost estimating for Digital Engineering and MBE projects.
• Overall challenges to measuring and estimating the cost of different development paradigms (e.g., MBE, Agile, and DevOps).
• The role of AI and Machine Learning in building cost estimates and measurement.
• New or modified size and/or cost drivers to estimate software development effort in response to changing development processes and environments/tools (e.g., Agile and DevOps).
• Measuring size/cost/schedule impacts from cybersecurity requirements.
• Cloud services measurement and cost estimation for development and sustainment.

As always, we are also interested in software and system engineering, cost modeling, and estimation topics beyond those suggested above. Both works in progress and results/outcomes are encouraged.
