The authors, six simulation professionals, present their views on the directions that they believe that verification, validation, and accreditation research should take. Two of the six are active verification, validation, and accreditation researchers from academia, two develop industry simulation models, and two work in verification, validation, and accreditation of military simulation models. A number of areas and topics for research in verification, validation, and accreditation are identified. It appears that application domains of simulation models affect what topics need verification, validation, and accreditation research.

Three useful modeling techniques for specifying discrete event simulation models are discussed. Hierarchical model specification provides for model specification at different levels of abstraction. Scaling of model elements provides for the combination of similarly structured and parallel operating model elements into arrays of both fixed and dynamic sizes. Reuse of model elements allows for the repeated use of model element specifications. The Hierarchical Control Flow Graph Model paradigm is used to demonstrate the techniques discussed.

The objectives of Human engineering (HE) are generally viewed as increasing human performance, reducing human error, enhancing personnel and equipment safety, and reducing training and related personnel costs. There are other benefits that are thoroughly consistent with the direction of the Navy of the future, chief among these is reduction of required numbers of personnel to operate and maintain Navy ships. The Naval research Advisory Committee (NRAC) report on Man-Machine Technology in the Navy estimated that one of the benefits from increased application of man-machine technology to Navy ship design is personnel reduction as well as improving system availability, effectiveness, and safety The objective of this paper is to discuss aspects of the human engineering design of ships and systems that affect manning requirements, and impact human-performance and safety The paper will also discuss how the application of human engineering leads to improved performance, and crew safety, and reduced workload, all of which influence manning levels. Finally, the paper presents a discussion of tools and case studies of good human engineering design practices which reduce manning.

The power of abstraction Lies in its ability to deal with ''lack'' of knowledge. In this regard, success in modeling and simulation rests on discovering useful abstractions that can support objectives of modeling. In our treatment, we refer to ''data abstraction'' as opposed to ''structure simplification'' since we consider a system's behavior rather than its structure. A system's behavior can be represented as time-varying input/output segments. Given the behavior of a causal, time-invariant system, we define some basic abstraction mechanisms to support inductive modeling. The basis for these abstraction mechanisms are a set of general assumptions which allow consistent abstraction of IO segments. Then, given these assumptions and non-monotonic reasoning paradigm, capable of handling thew, we try to tackle the fundamental problem of insufficient knowledge in the realm of inductive modeling. In this way, by making useful abstractions, we can predict a system's unobserved behavior according to a well-defined framework of discrete-event inductive modeling.

Subjective methods for operational validity are presented that use graphical displays of histograms, box plots, and behavior graphs. These methods allow the data to be correlated, have any statistical distribution, and be limited in the number of observations. Model data are used for the reference distribution (instead of a theoretical distribution such as the t or F) and for reference to compare the system data against. These methods are very general and can be used in validating different types of models.
