SUMMARY:2020 SCAF/ICEAA Virtual Workshop: Carol Dekkers and Maryam Farsi
DESCRIPTION:The Future of IT & Software Estimating\nCarol Dekkers\nWebinar Presentation: Tuesday December\, 1\, 2020 at 4pm GMT/11am EST \n \nWouldn’t it be fun to have a crystal ball to predict the future of IT and software estimating? In this presentation\, Carol Dekkers takes us on a roller coaster ride of prognostications based on where we’ve been\, what’s going well today and what trends are on the horizon. Let’s have some fun connecting the dots between the world today and where we might end up in the future with ICEAA and IT and software estimating. \nCarol Dekkers\, PMP\, CFPS (Fellow)\, P.Eng\, CSM\, is CEO of Quality Plus Technologies\, Inc. and is the lead author of the forthcoming ICEAA Software Estimating Body of Knowledge (SCEBoK). She specializes in working with companies who want to succeed with software measurement and functional size measurement. She is a co-author of several textbooks (The IT Measurement Compendium: Estimating and Benchmarking Success with Functional Size Measurement; Program management toolkit for software and systems development; Practical Software Project Estimation; and others\,) and is a frequent speaker worldwide on estimating\, measurement\, ISO standards\, project management\, communication and quality. Ms Dekkers is a Past-president and former Director of Communications and Marketing for the International Function Point Users Group (IFPUG). She is also a U.S. expert on the USNB delegation to ISO/IEC SC7 software engineering standards. \n  \nAn Ontology-based Cost Modelling Approach for High-Value Manufacturing\nDr Maryam Farsi\nWebinar Presentation: Tuesday December\, 1\, 2020 at 4pm GMT/11am EST \nIn high-value manufacturing\, the inadequacy of historical service data\, and the high level of uncertainties around service cost in complex assets\, make the identification of cost reduction opportunities challenging. These influencing factors also complicate the assessment of the impact of cost drivers on the total lifecycle cost. Addressing these challenges\, this workshop presents an ontology-based cost model architecture with a simple data structure and minimum data requirement. Additionally\, the impact of cost drivers on the total cost is evaluated and aims to examine the validity and applicability of the ontology and the cost model to different sectors and asset types. \nDr Maryam Farsi is a Lecturer in Through-life Engineering Optimisation at Cranfield University\, School of Aerospace\, Transport and Manufacturing. Dr Farsi gained her PhD in ‘Nonlinear Structural Mechanics’ from Imperial College London in 2014 and her MSc in ‘Civil Engineering Structures’ from City\, University of London in 2010. Dr Farsi’s main research focus is on complex systems and system of systems simulation\, modelling\, optimisation\, data analytics and data visualisation. This includes: Enterprise and supply chain simulation\, optimisation and digital twin; Product and service contracts; Lifecycle cost modelling and analysis; and Risk and uncertainty quantification with over 15 research works.

SUMMARY:2020 SCAF/ICEAA Virtual Workshop: Wilson Rosa and Simon Porter
DESCRIPTION:Empirical Effort and Schedule Models for Agile Development in the US DoD\nWilson Rosa\nWebinar Presentation: Tuesday December\, 8\, 2020 at 4pm GMT/11am EST \n \nIn the Department of Defense (DoD)\, mainstream agile estimation metrics (story points and user stories) are not available before contract award. This paper presents an effective approach for estimating Agile software effort and schedule using a size measure available before contract award. The analysis explores the effects of initial software requirements (functions and external interfaces)\, staffing\, and domain on effort and schedule. The dataset contained 36 DoD agile software projects implemented from 2008 to 2019. \nDr. Rosa is the Assistant Director for IT at the DHS Cost Analysis Division. He has over 25 years of experience in government including C4ISR Branch Chief at Naval Center for Cost Analysis\, Technical Advisor at Air Force Cost Analysis Agency\, and Industrial Engineer at Department of Navy (NAVAIR and NAVSEA). \n  \nSplitting Water: A Cost-Benefit Analysis on the installation of an Electrolyser at a Hospital\nSimon Porter\nWebinar Presentation: Tuesday December\, 8\, 2020 at 4pm GMT/11am EST \nFollowing the governmental commitment of achieving net carbon zero by 2050\, interest in the development of the hydrogen economy has increased. Hydrogen can be produced using electricity to split distilled water into hydrogen and oxygen gases\, both of which can then be used for other purposes. This study analyses the costs and anticipated benefits of installing an on-site electrolyser at a hospital. This would provide hydrogen to run a Combined Heat & Power (CHP) plant to supply electricity and heat\, along with oxygen for medical usage. A number of different options for meeting the brief are discussed\, along with anticipation of future trends. \nAfter studying Automotive Engineering at Loughborough University Simon has spent 10 years estimating event costs in the aerospace industry before moving to consulting in 2019. Since then he has been involved in a wide range of projects across all realms of defence.

SUMMARY:Advanced Estimating Methodologies for Conceptual Stage Development
DESCRIPTION:Chuck Alexander\nWebinar Presentation: Wednesday December 16\, 2020 at 12:00pm EST \n \nThis research paper presents statistical techniques and cost analysis that significantly enhance legacy technology development estimating methodologies. Techniques leveraging independent variables that reflect a comprehensive set of cost drivers relating to technology scale\, complexity\, type\, maturity\, and development difficulty are presented. Highly tailored solutions including uncertainty are produced that vastly expand and refine earlier development estimating models. General R&D framework relating key milestones\, TRLs and cost benchmarks is constructed and woven into an integrated solution. \nChuck Alexander is a Principal at JHU/APL with over 35 years of professional experience involving engineering\, economic & cost analysis and technology & business operations management across a range of technologies\, applications\, system and operational environments. Mr. Alexander is a licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.)\, CPA\, and holds a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Clarkson University and an MBA in Finance from the William & Mary Mason School of Business.
