Objective:

The objective of the project is a unified framework, wherecost estimators are assigned to the individual components in the UML-baseddesign. From this an implementation  cost is forecasted for the entiredesign by using standard cost estimation models, like COCOMO, COCOTS etc.This model is refined by allowing a hierarchical decomposition of the designprocess , similarly described in UML.
A personal database supplies human resource related information. A combined model merging this three information sources serves as a starting point for the estimation of the development time, its optimal scheduling and development cost minimization.
