Abstract

Different types of large-scale and complex modeling and simulation (M&S) applications are used in dozens of disciplines under diverse objectives such as acquisition, problem solving (analysis), education, entertainment, research, and training. Assessment of the quality of such M&S applications requires multifaceted knowledge and experience, and poses substantial technical and managerial challenges for researchers, practitioners, and engineers. The challenges can only be met by following a structured quality-centered approach throughout the entire M&S life cycle. This chapter presents dozens of quality indicators throughout the entire M&S life cycle. These quality indicators can be adopted to achieve success in a large-scale and complex M&S project.
