Knowledge Elicitation and Acquisition for Simulation Validation

Abstract

The validation of simulation relies heavily on the opinions of domain experts, and it makes the validation task exhaustive and time-consuming. The knowledge-based methods can be applied for these problems. One of the main issues around this method is the elicitation and acquisition of the knowledge. Our knowledge elicitation approach falls in three phases, namely, position, description and discussion phase. Within each phase, the available acquisition techniques are introduced.
