GM-VV Part 3 – Implementation guidance for M&S projects and organizations

conference paper
The Generic Methodology for Verification and Validation (GM-VV) is a generic and comprehensive methodology for structuring, organizing and managing the verification and validation (V&V) of M&S assets. The GM-VV is a new recommended practice within the Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization (SISO), which is the result of a joint development effort with NATO. The GM-VV provides a technical framework to efficiently develop arguments to justify why M&S assets are acceptable or unacceptable for a specific intended use. This argumentation supports M&S stakeholders in their acceptance decision-making process regarding the development, application and reuse of such M&S assets. The GM-VV technical framework assures that during the execution of the V&V work the decisions, actions, information and evidence underlying such acceptance arguments will be traceable, reproducible, transparent and documented.
This paper is the last in a series of three papers that collectively describe and illustrate the complete GM-VV technical framework and its application. This third paper presents the tailoring framework and implementation guidance for the GM-VV towards M&S projects and organizations. This is illustrated with examples and lessons-learned from the establishment of the Dutch V&V expertise center Q-tility and the V&V case-studies conducted by this organization.
