Abstract

Validation is the methodology at the end of the simulation and modelling cycle that relates the insights gained by computer calculations to the real world scenario, that is subject of study. Validation establishes credibility concerning the simulation results and implications with respect to the real system. Validation is a very important aspect in real world simulation studies, since important financial and security related decisions concerning the planning, design and optimization of the real systems might be relied. In our study, we conducted a survey on research papers in renowned simulation conferences and evaluated whether validation had been used at all, and if yes, which validation methods had been used to which extent. This reveals the relevance and trust of simulation results of the research papers concerning the real world problem addressed in that research. We found that a majority of research papers neglect the application of validation methodology. Obviously, the validity of the results of simulation studies or the impact on practical problems in the real world seems to be questionable in a vast number of cases.
