One concern when building application by assembling software components is to validate component interactions, e.g., to ensure that components exchange compatible messages. This validation requires examining data values that are only known at runtime. In current practice, this validation is often performed manually at the code level, i.e., architects need to insert validation code into the appl...

This paper develops a novel approach to incorporate the contributions of both quantitative validation metrics and qualitative subject matter expert (SME) evaluation criteria in model validation assessment. The relationship between validation metrics (input) and SME scores (output) is formulated as a classification problem, and a probabilistic neural network (PNN) is constructed to execute this ...

The need for certificate management in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) is the background for this report. A prototype implementation of a distributed certificate validation service is presented and evaluated. The proposed design is based on an overlay network of proxy nodes offering certificate validation over the XKMS protocol. The proxy nodes employ cooperative caching in order to offer certif...

This paper describes the systems and results of the team KSU for RITE-VAL task in NTCIR-11. Three different systems were implemented for each of the two subtasks: Fact Validation and System Validation. In Fact Validation subtask, systems were designed respectively based on character overlap, existence of entailment result ’Y’, and voting of entailment results. In System Validation subtask, syst...

The method has been developed and validated for the determination of hydroquinone in liposomal formulation. The samples were dissolved in methanol and evaluated in 293 nm. The validation parameters such as linearity, accuracy, precision, specificity, limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) were determined. The calibration curve was linear in 1-50 µg /mL range of hydroquinone an...

In this research paper, ANFIS modeling and validation of Vestas 660 kW wind turbine based on actual data obtained from Eoun-Ebn-Ali wind farm in Tabriz, Iran, and FAST is performed. The turbine modeling is performed by deriving the non-linear dynamic equations of different subsystems. Then, the model parameters are identified to match the actual response. ANFIS is an artificial intelligent tech...

There are many case studies for which the formulation of RDF constraints and the validation of RDF data conforming to these constraint is very important. As a part of the collaboration with the W3C and the DCMI working groups on RDF validation, we identified major RDF validation requirements and initiated an RDF validation requirements database which is available to contribute at http://purl.or...

BACKGROUND In 2003, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a guidance document on the scope of "Part 11" enforcement. In this guidance document, the FDA indicates an expectation of a risk-based approach to determining which systems should undergo validation. Since statistical programs manage and manipulate raw data, their implementation should be critically reviewed to de...

The importance of proper verification and validation (V&V) of simulation models and experiments is well accepted in the modeling and simulation community. There is currently a push to improve the scientific aspects of modeling and simulation, including validation. To determine the amount of validation performed in practice, we analyze 110 health care simulation papers from the last eight years ...

The paper presents an approach for orchestrating validation of project results from different perspectives by using visual modelling techniques. The context for the paper is the FP6 project MAPPER. Validation in MAPPER covers economic, socio-technical and technical viewpoints. The economic viewpoint mainly focuses on business value and coherence with business drivers like reduced lifecycle time...
