Abstract
Certifying that a large-scale complex modeling and simula- tion (M&S) application can be used for a set of specific purposes is an onerous task, which involves complex evaluation processes throughout the entire M&S develop- ment life cycle. The evaluation processes consist of verifi- cation and validation activities, quality assurance, assess- ment of qualitative and quantitative elements, assessments by subject matter experts, and integration of disparate measurements and assessments. Planning, managing, and conducting the evaluation processes require a disciplined life-cycle approach and should not be performed in an ad hoc manner. The purpose of this tutorial paper is to present structured evaluation processes throughout the entire M&S development life cycle. Engineers, analysts, and managers can execute the evaluation processes presented herein to be able to formulate a certification decision for a large-scale complex M&S application.Keywords
