Quantum Software Sizing Taskforce Activities

The literature on Quantum Software FSM features three studies, all grounded in the COSMIC (ISO 19761) standard:

Functional Size Measurement of Quantum Computers Software by Khaled Khattab, Hatem Elsayed, Hassan Soubra.
Q-COSMIC: Quantum Software Metrics Based on COSMIC (ISO/IEC19761) by Francisco Valdes-Souto1, Hector G. Perez-Gonzalez, and Carlos A. Perez-Delgado.
Guideline for the Functional Sizing of Quantum Software Requirements by Arlan Lesterhuis and Alain Abran.

The workshop on Quantum Software Sizing was organized by the COSMIC Quantum Software Taskforce and held on Sept. 30, 2024 during the IWSM-MENSURA 2024 conference (see poster on the right for the list of topics.)
The follow-up post-workshop webinar was held on March 26, 2025. To access the presentation slides, click Presentation- Quantum Taskforce Webinar. To access the comprehensive report click Report- COSMIC Quantum Taskforce. To access webinar recording click Recording- Quantum Webinar.
