Abstract
- Within the WEAG THALES Joint Program 11.20 "Common Framework for Verification, Validation, and Accreditation of Simulations" (nicknamed "REVVA") between Denmark, France, Italy, Sweden, and The Nether-lands, a new customer-based and product-oriented VV&A methodology was developed. It includes: (1) The REVVA Generic Process, a stand-alone VV&A process, which can be easily linked to numerous types of model development processes; (2) The concepts of Target of Acceptance (ToA) and Target of Verification and Validation (ToVV), which put a strong emphasis on V&V requirements definition and traceability from the individual Items of Evidence acquired during V&V implementation up to the intended purpose of model use; (3) The explicit distinction between the proper-ties "correctness" and "validity", which are inherent to a simulation model on the one hand, and the processes of "verification" and "validation" to reveal them on the other hand; (4) Hooks for the integration of methods for estimation of uncertainty introduced by the current inability to prove neither correctness nor validity; (5) A role model, which clearly distinguishes technical and managerial roles and parties from which the actors may come. The follow-on project “REVVA2” shall formalize these former results and its own methodological basis. REVVA2 must also show its complementarities with other approaches such as the International Test Operations Procedure on V&V (WGE7.2) and the combined effort on HLA Federation VV&A by the NATO MSG019/TG016 and the SISO VV&A PDG. The ultimate objective of REVVA2 is the production of a set of documents that have to satisfy two kinds of goals: they have to be written in a style suitable for their submission to international standardization organizations, and need to be immediately applicable by VV&A practitioners. This paper, based on the Spring 05 SIW paper 041, outlines the results achieved by the first study and motivates future research and standardization directions.
