Conducting verification and validation (V&V) of modeling and simulation (M&S) requires systematic and structured application of different V&V techniques throughout the M&S life cycle. Whether an existing technique is appropriate to a particular V&V activity depends not only on the characteristics of the technique but also on the situation where it will be applied. This work proposes a characterization approach to identifying and specifying the information relevant for selecting V&V techniques by means of an M&S-specific characterization schema. Based on the proposed schema, an application catalog that works as an information repository for V&V techniques selection is established. This characterization is applicable to any simulation study with well defined and structured model development and V&V processes.
