چکیده
This paper discusses verification, validation, and accreditation of simulation models. The different approaches to deciding model validity are presented; how model verification and validation relate to the model development process are discussed; various validation techniques are defined; conceptual model validity, model verification, operational validity, and data validity are described; ways to document results are given; a recommended procedure is presented; and accreditation is briefly discussed.

Strategic Directions in Verification, Validation, and Accreditation Research
Six simulation professionals present their views on the directions that they believe that verification, validation, and accreditation research should take. Two of the six are active verification, validation, and accreditation researchers from academia, two develop industry simulation models, and two work in verification, validation, and accreditation of military simulation models. A number of a...
متن کاملEnhancing Modeling and Simulation Accreditation by Structuring Verification and Validation Results
Model Verification, Validation and Accreditation (VV&A) is as complex as developing a Modeling and Simulation (M&S) application itself. For the purpose of structuring both Verification and Validation (V&V) activities and V&V results, we introduce a refined V&V process. After identification of the major influence factors on applicable V&V, a conceptual approach for subphase-wise organization of ...
متن کاملVerification and validation of simulation models
This paper surveys verification and validation of models, especially simulation models in operations research. For verification it discusses 1) general good programming practice (such as modular programming), 2) checking intermediate simulation outputs through tracing and statistical testing per module, 3) statistical testing of final simulation outputs against analytical results, and 4) animat...
متن کاملVerification, Validation, and Accreditation (VV&A) of Social Simulations
This paper discusses the VV&A of social simulations by an examination of uncertainty, correlation, and cause in social processes in general and in social simulation methodologies in particular. Standards of scientific investigation for social simulation are presented, and different methodologies of social simulation are examined for the degree to which they can implement the standard. Methodolo...
متن کاملReprise of Foundations 2004
The Foundations 2004Workshop focused on risk assessment and risk mitigation as they relate to verification, validation, and accreditation. Risk and uncertainty are primarily due to lack of information during decision-making. Therefore, we take decision-making as the context for verification, validation, and accreditation. The state of the art of decision-making is reviewed. The research of Klir...
