Fuzzy systems and neural networks in software engineering project management

摘要

To make reasonable estimates of resources, costs, and schedules, software project managers need to be provided with models that furnish the essential framework for software project planning and control by supplying important “management numbers” concerning the state and parameters of the project that are critical for resource allocation. Understanding that software development is not a “mechanistic” process brings about the realization that parameters that characterize the development of software possess an inherent “fuzziness,” thus providing the rationale for the development of realistic models based on fuzzy set or neural theories.
