Automatisierungspotenzial von Verifikations- und Validierungstechniken in der ereignisdiskreten Simulation

Simulation is a proven method in industry and research to provide the basis for further decisions. Therefore, the credibility of its results is of major importance. Generally, simulation studies are guided by procedure models comprised of several phases with specific results. To assess the credibility, verification and validation (V&V) is used by applying V&V techniques to these phase results, which requires significant effort. One possibility to reduce this effort and support simulation users is to automate V&V. For this purpose, the notions of automation must be transferred to the domain of V&V in order to assess the automatability of V&V techniques. The effort for the application of V&V techniques can be reduced while maintaining or increasing the credibility of simulation.
