Abstract

This paper discusses verification and validation of simulation models. The different approaches to deciding model validity am 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; and a recommended procedure is presented.
