VVA FORUMMISSION STATEMENT

• The mission of the VVA Forum is to provide an
  open forum to
• Discuss issues pertaining to the verification,
  validation and accreditation of distributed
  simulations
• Define and develop processes and procedures
  needed to support and execute verification and
  validation and to support accreditation
• Identify and focus the need for VV tools and
  techniques
• Support the evolution of SISO VVA standards

VVA FORUMFall 99 Call for Papers
The VVA Forum is focused on methodologies,
procedures, and associated techniques which may
be used to establish credibility of federations.
The VVA objectives emphasize quality (e.g.,
building in authoritative representations and
behaviors) and risk management. This Forum
will support the development and evolution of
VVA guidance (in the form of standards,
recommended practices, and/or guides) which
supplement the federation development/application
lifecycle process model documentation. In
conjunction with the Behavior Forum, VVA will be
focusing on issues related to the VV of human
and organizational behavior.

VVA FORUMFall 99 CFP Paper Topics

• VVA and its overlay onto the Federation
  Development and Execution Process (FEDEP).
• Relationship and linkages between the VVA and
  testing processes.
• Data verification and validation, an inherent
  part of the VVA process.
• Fidelity and its role in the validation process.
• Relationship between the CMMS and the conceptual
  model of a Federate/Federation.
• Architecture design and its impact on results
  credibility.
• Management aspects of VVA.
• Metrics for costing VVA.
• Human and organizational behavior VV, with
  emphasis on the description and application of
  non-SME based concepts, processes and
  procedures.
• VVA of distributed simulations lessons learned,
  with particular emphasis on cost/benefit analysis
  and the integration of VV and program (e.g.,
  development, test, training) processes.
