Relevant Research Areas

Verification, Validation & Measurement

For VM, this area refers to the methodologies and tools to support the verification and validation (V&V) of a VM system. Making decisions on a VM ``simulation'' of manufacturing demands a confidence that the impacts of those decisions on physical manufacturing will be realized as predicted. The methodologies and tools are developed to provide the confidence. Measurement is included in this technical area because its central role in maintaining a mapping between the physical and the virtual is necessary for the V&V methodologies.

If any of your work is relevant to this area, then this is an invitation to send us, virtual@frabjous.cs.umd.edu, information about it, for possible inclusion on the Web site and in the report.
