Abstract
This paper reviews the philosophical questions of model validity and describes the need for practical tests of the adequacy and representativeness of computerized simulation models. The distinction between the concepts of the verification and the validation of such general models is made by means of a delineation of test procedures, primarily those of a statistical nature, which are applicable to the determination of a simulation model's adequacy.
