Abstract

The resolution process of cost conflicts among requirements is complex because of highly collaborative and coordinated process, complex dependencies, and exponentially increasing option space. This paper describes on exploratory knowledge-based tool (called "S-COST") for assisting stakeholders to surface huge option space and diagnose risks of each option. The S-COST operates in the context of the USC-CSE WinWin system (a groupware support system for determining software and system requirements as negotiated win conditions), QARCC (a support system for identifying conflicts in quality requirements), and COCOMO (COnstructive COst estimation MOdel).
