| Abstract | Reasonable reduction and controlling of software cost is always a challenge for software companies. To estimate software development cost more precisely, current research effort is focused on improving the measurement of software size or complexity by combining or adjusting key cost drivers, such as function points and other observable project context factors. However, personnel factors are seldom investigated or treated in depth as a way to reduce the estimated software development cost. On the premise that a software project is decomposed in a number of tasks, and that predetermined developers are available as resources for it, this paper intends to optimize the allocation of available personnel for lower development cost. In this research, we consider the problem of allocating competent developers to suitable tasks as an unbalanced personnel assignment problem, and improve the traditional Hungarian Algorithm by applying three strategies to find optimal personnel allocation solutions for diverse requirements. Moreover, the performance of our improved algorithms is evaluated and compared through a series of experiments on simulation datasets to identify and validate the measurement indicators and influence factors of their performance. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
