There was a rich collection of COSMIC-related papers presented at the International Workshop on Software Measurement held earlier this month in Krakow, Poland (see details below).
My personal impressions of the key themes from the conference were:
 A lot of concern about how to deal with non-functional requirements in software project performance measurement and estimating;
 A lot of interest in automation of COSMIC functional size measurement;
 Several reports of good industrial experience of using measurements to control price/performance in outsourced software supply relationships.
Most of the material from the conference is now available:

 Presentations from the conference and the workshops can be viewed on SlideShare at https://www.flickr.com/photos/iwsm-mensura
 The best reviewed papers are available on Springer at http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007%2F978-3-319-24285-9
 Additional papers will be published in the Annals of the Collegium of Economic Analysis early next year at http://rocznikikae.sgh.waw.pl/?p=21
