Title
A prescriptive technique for V&V of simulation models when no real-life data are available
Abstract
Verification and Validation (V&V) is a key process to guarantee that any model represents adequately a given system. Although no one can guarantee a 100% valid model, it is possible to increase model confidence by the utilization of V&V techniques. There are many V&V techniques which have a descriptive nature (they tell us what to do but not how to do it). There are also prescriptive techniques, that tell us how to do it, but in simulation practice they are underused. The main goal of this paper is based on Kleijnen (1999) procedure. It is to propose a prescriptive V&V technique that is simple enough for practical application and, because of its procedural nature, it could be easily built into any simulation software, thus enabling the automation of the V&V process. This approach was also applied to some test problems confirming its feasibility.
