Testing and Validation of Computer Simulation Models

This must-read text/reference provides a practical guide to processes involved in the development and application of dynamic simulation models, covering a wide range of issues relating to testing, verification and validation. Illustrative example problems in continuous system simulation are presented throughout the book, supported by extended case studies from a number of interdisciplinary applications. Topics and features: provides an emphasis on practical issues of model quality and validation, along with questions concerning the management of simulation models, the use of model libraries, and generic models; contains numerous step-by-step examples; presents detailed case studies, often with accompanying datasets; includes discussion of hybrid models, which involve a combination of continuous system and discrete-event descriptions; examines experimental modeling approaches that involve system identification and parameter estimation; offers supplementary material at an associated website.

Examines practical issues of computer-model quality and validationtopics not covered adequately in other books Extrapolates principles and methods, showing ties to applications in computer science, engineering and biomedicine Provides detailed case studies, datasets and step-by-step examples to help readers see how the material is integrated
