This unique volume introduces and discusses the methods of
validating computer simulations in scientific research. The core
concepts, strategies, and techniques of validation are explained by
an international team of pre-eminent authorities, drawing on
expertise from various fields ranging from engineering and the
physical sciences to the social sciences and history. The work also
offers new and original philosophical perspectives on the
validation of simulations. Topics and features: introduces the
fundamental concepts and principles related to the validation of
computer simulations, and examines philosophical frameworks for
thinking about validation; provides an overview of the various
strategies and techniques available for validating simulations, as
well as the preparatory steps that have to be taken prior to
validation; describes commonly used reference points and
mathematical frameworks applicable to simulation validation;
reviews the legal prescriptions, and the administrative and
procedural activities related to simulation validation; presents
examples of best practice that demonstrate how methods of
validation are applied in various disciplines and with different
types of simulation models; covers important practical challenges
faced by simulation scientists when applying validation methods and
techniques; offers a selection of general philosophical reflections
that explore the significance of validation from a broader
perspective. This truly interdisciplinary handbook will appeal to a
broad audience, from professional scientists spanning all natural
and social sciences, to young scholars new to research with
computer simulations. Philosophers of science, and methodologists
seeking to increase their understanding of simulation validation,
will also find much to benefit from in the text.
