Abstract :
In this paper verification and validation of simulation models are discussed. Different approaches to deciding model validity are described and a graphical paradigm that relates verification and validation to the model development process is presented and explained. Conceptual model validity, model verification, operational validity, and data validity are discussed and a recommended procedure for model validation is presented.
