Abstract
Software development cost estimation is important for effective project management. Many models have been introduced to predict software development cost. In this paper, a novel emotional COnstructive COst MOdel II (COCOMO II) has been proposed for software cost estimation. In COCOMO II only the project characteristics are considered, whereas the characteristics of team members are also important factors. This paper presents a model, namely FECSCE, which in addition to project characteristics considers the communication skills, personality, mood and capabilities of team members. In FECSCE, we have used a Multi-Agent System (MAS) in order to simulate team communications.
