Generic Methodology for Verification and Validation (GM-VV) to Support Acceptance of Models, Simulations and Data (Methodologie generale de verification et de validation (GM-VV) visant a soutenir l acceptation des modeles, simulations et donnees)
Abstract
Work on V&V of models, simulations and data was initiated in 2002 through several projects such as REVVA1, REVVA2 and MEVAS. MSG-073 Task Group was a follow-up on earlier efforts within NATO and the former US DoD DMSO (Defence Modeling and Simulation Office), which was renamed to US DoD M&SCO (Modeling and Simulation Coordination Office). The objective of MSG-073 was to provide a path into the creation of an internationally accepted VV&A standard, GM-VV (Generic Methodology for V&V) through the SISO (Simulation Interoperability Standards Organisation). The GM-VV provides a technical framework to efficiently develop arguments to justify why M&S assets are acceptable or unacceptable for a specific intended use. This argumentation supports M&S stakeholders in their acceptance decision making process regarding the development, application and reuse of such M&S assets. The GM-VV technical framework assures that during the execution of the V&V work the decisions, actions, information and evidence underlying such acceptance arguments will be traceable, reproducible, transparent and documented. Since the GM-VV is a generic (i.e. abstract) methodology it must be tailored to fit the specific V&V needs of an M&S organization, project or application domain. Therefore, V&V practitioners must incorporate specific V&V techniques within the generic architectural template offered by the GM-VV in order to properly assess the M&S assets under review.
