Software Cost Estimation with COCOMO II (paperback)

Barry Boehm defined the field with his groundbreaking classic, Software Engineering Economics, published in 1981 by Prentice Hall. Together with his colleagues at the University of Southern California's Center for Software Engineering, Dr. Boehm continues as a leader in software cost estimation.
