2. 1. Exploring Software Cost Estimation Inaccuracy

   Author : Ana Magazinius; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; organizational politics; estimation inhibitors; project management; software cost and effort estimation; learning in organizations; informal use of estimates;

   Abstract : The inaccuracy of software cost estimates has for long been a source of frustration to software practitioners and cost estimation researchers. Despite huge efforts to improve this important practice, estimation accuracy is still low. This thesis uses empirical and theoretical evidence to investigate why this problem persists. READ MORE

5. 3. Input Estimation in Structural Dynamics

   Author : Lars Nordström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sensitivity analysis; dynamic programming; input estimation; load identification; ill-posedness; regularization; indirect force measurement; inverse problems;

   Abstract : Knowledge of time-varying excitation is of importance in the design of a wide range of engineering applications, from spacecraft and processing plants to electronic circuits. Regardless of the actual application or underlying physics, the expected input will play a key role in the determination of adequate system properties and parameters. READ MORE

6. 4. Supporting Effort Estimation in Agile Software Development

   Author : Muhammad Usman; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Background: In Agile Software Development (ASD) planning is valued more than the resulting plans. Planning and estimation are carried out at multiple levels in ASD. Agile plans and estimates are frequently updated to reflect the current situation. It supports shorter release cycles and flexibility to incorporate changing market and customer needs. READ MORE

7. 5. Probabilistic time estimation in tunnel projects

   Author : Mohammad Mohammadi; Johan Spross; Fredrik Johansson; Larsson Stefan; Anna Kadefors; Lars-Olof Dahlström; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cost overrun; Tunneling projects; Probabilistic approaches; time estimation; Kostnadsöverskridande; tunnelprojekt; sannolikhetsmetoder; tidsuppskattning; Soil and Rock Mechanics; Jord- och bergmekanik;

   Abstract : Transport infrastructure projects, including tunneling, suffer from timedelays and cost overrun. A literature review shows that the effect ofuncertainty has been neglected in explaining time and cost overrunmeaning that technical explanations matter. READ MORE
