From page 299...
... Previous works include two decadal surveys for both astronomy and astrophysics and planetary sciences, and one each for Earth sciences and applications from space and solar and space physics. The TRACE process evolved from cost and schedule modeling methodologies that have been used for evaluating NASA mission options for many decades.
From page 300...
... developing scenarios for phasing and implementing activities consistent with the predicted budget, including future cost threats, complexity growth, or campaign or scope creep or schedule realism; and (4) using a Monte Carlo analysis to capture appropriate reserves based on concept maturity and technology readiness.
