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