COMPUTER SIMULATION VALIDATION GEBUNDEN

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.
