Abstract
Estimation of the effort required for development has been researched for over 25 years now. Still there exists no concrete solution to estimate the development effort. Prior experience in similar type of projects is a key for business today. This paper proposes an Effort Estimation Model named REBEE based on the reusable matrices to effectively estimate the effort to be involved for development. A project is assumed to consist of multiple modules and the reusability factor of each module is considered in the technique described here. REBEE utilizes fuzzy logic and dynamic neural networks to achieve its goal. Based on the experimental evaluation discussed in this paper it is evident that this model accurately predicts the effort involved on heterogeneous project types.
