Title :
A critical look at quality in large-scale simulations

Abstract :
There is a disconnect between ASCI science and management. The author proposes an alternative paradigm. Simulation quality depends on the quality of insights gained, but software engineering is not the discipline to develop those insights. The author also proposes a definition for validation and differentiates it from current internal quality and verification approaches
