Validation: the bottleneck in system simulation

Published: 01 October 1976 Publication History

Abstract

In simulation exercises some degree of validation is necessary in order to create confidence in the results obtained. Experienced users of generalized simulation software and commercially available simulation tools often find that the majority of their simulation efforts are localized in the validation cycle. Discussed in this paper are some of the factors which have caused the validation process to become more complicated and more time consuming. This paper also summarizes the major problems with simulating complex computer systems and suggests some basic requirements and design philosophies for new simulation packages.
