Abstract
The permanently increasing performance of information and communication technologies enables the development and effective application of increasingly complex simulation models and their applications (M&S). As this trend will be an ongoing one, the demand for controlling and demonstrating the quality of a model and its applications by introducing adequate quality measures, techniques, and tools is obvious. Consequently, the introduction of accepted or even standardized verification and validation processes is an urgent requirement in this context. This paper will present an Extended M&S Verification and Validation (EV&V) framework based on multi-phase M&S-design, -development and –application processes. The basics of EV&V, related processes, and products will be discussed. In addition, we will show how this EV&V framework can be implemented and tailored according to predefined credibility or risk criteria, and under specified cost, time and application constraints.
