Verification and Validation of an Agent-based Simulation Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Verification and validation (V&V) are two important tasks that need to be done during software development. There are many suggestions in the literature for techniques that can be used during V&V. Some of these are varied and need to be adapted to the particular software product being developed. There are no defined V&V techniques that can be applied to agent-based simulations specifically. It is, therefore, left to the software team to develop a subset of V&V techniques that can be used to increase confidence in the simulation. This paper introduces a subset of techniques gathered from several authors and applies them to a computer simulation of natural organic matter.

An Agent- based Modeling for Breast Tissue Simulation and the Growth and Spread of Tumor in Various Breast Cancer States
Introduction: Breast cancer is a cancer that is caused by abnormal growth of breast cells. Modeling and simulation of the growth and treatment of breast cancer, along with providing the possibility of doing experiments and research, can reduce the time and cost of treatment by predicting some cases. The purpose of the present research was to develop an agent-based model for the simulation of b...

متن کاملVerification and Validation of Agent-based Scientific Simulation Models
Most of the existing model verification and validation techniques are largely used in the industrial and system engineering fields. The agent-based modeling approach is different from traditional equation-based modeling approach in many aspects. As the agent-based modeling approach has recently become an attractive and efficient way for modeling large-scale complex systems, there are few formal...
متن کاملVerification & validation of an agent-based forest fire simulation model
In this paper, we present the verification and validation of an agent-based model of forest fires. We use a combination of a Virtual Overlay Multi-Agent System (VOMAS) validation scheme with Fire Weather Index (FWI) to validate the forest fire Simulation. FWI is based on decades of real forest fire data and is now regarded as a standard index for fire probability with wide usage across Canada, ...
متن کاملSimulation and Model Validation of Batch PHB Production Process Using Ralstonia eutropha
Mathematical modeling and simulation of microbial Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production process is beneficial for optimization, design, and control purposes. In this study a batch model developed by Mulchandani et al., [1] was used to simulate the process in MATLAB environment. It was revealed that the kinetic model parameters were estimated off the optimal or at a local optimal point. There...
