FIRST STEPS TOWARD A VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION ONTOLOGY

Abstract

This paper presents the key elements of an ontology that formalizes part of the knowledge about behavioural modeling and the associated verification and validation technologies. It summarizes the objects, concepts, and other entities that are assumed to exist in this area of interest and the relationships that hold among them. We propose a classification of different modeling formalisms and a representation of possible verification and validation methods. A system is represented using several views conforming to different modeling languages. Its properties can be assessed with verification and validation technologies.
