Background • ABS VV&A Framework Study • US Marine Corps Combat Development Center (MCCDC) Phase I, Summer 2007 • MSC&O, Phase II, Summer 2008 • Framework for validating • ABS (distillation models) of irregular warfare • Analysis • Goals • Transparent, traceable, and repeatable • Describes the bounds of use • Communicates risk of use ABSVal Project Overview Wkshp3 Moya
Tasks Phase I Phase II Test framework against at least two applications Audit the test applications Create publishable documentation Create measures of validity Workshops • Literature survey • Identify VV&A process principles • Develop VV&A process • Implementation plan • Workshops http://orsagouge.pbwiki.com/absval ABSVal Project Overview Wkshp3 Moya
Framework Requirements • Understanding the meaning of Valid Enough for an Intended Use Application of Analysis • Techniques for uncovering validation shortcomings in the presence of a weak referent • Expressing validation boundaries • Methods to communicate risk • Being conservative with VV&A resources ABSVal Project Overview Wkshp3 Moya
Workshop Agenda • Review published materials • Overview of the framework • Review and assess 3 validation reports • Review the audits • Working sessions ABSVal Project Overview Wkshp3 Moya
