An Architecture for SaaS-Oriented VV&A

Abstract

VV&A (Verification, Validation & Accreditation) involves many types of jobs to achieve the credibility of a simulation system, which needs software tools to speed the process. SaaS (Software as a Service) can provide workflow-driven, programmable and extendable services in cloud to satisfy VV&A requirements. Based on this point, after proposing the services which are required in VV&A, the SOVA (Saas-Oriented VV&A Architecture) scheme and architecture are proposed, and a case study of PA-23 piloting simulation system is given, which describes a walkthrough of SOVA application.
