Quality Assurance in Modelling and Simulation: A Taxonomy

A basis for the taxonomy of concepts related with quality assurance in modelling and simulation is provided. It has three parts: 1) Basic elements of modelling and simulation which could and should be assessed 2) Criteria which can be used for assessment, and 3) Types of assessments.
