Today's simulation capabilities offer the prospect of addressing questions that in the past could be addressed only by resource-intensive experimentation, if at all. Assessing the Reliability of Complex Models recognizes the ubiquity of uncertainty in computational estimates of reality and the necessity for its quantification. As computational science and engineering have matured, the process of quantifying or bounding uncertainties in a computational estimate of a physical quality of interest has evolved into a small set of interdependent tasks: verification, validation, and uncertainty of quantification (VVUQ). In recognition of the increasing importance of computational simulation and the increasing need to assess uncertainties in computational results, the National Research Council was asked to study the mathematical foundations of VVUQ and to recommend steps that will ultimately lead to improved processes. Assessing the Reliability of Complex Models discusses changes in education of professionals and dissemination of information that should enhance the ability of future VVUQ practitioners to improve and properly apply VVUQ methodologies to difficult problems, enhance the ability of VVUQ customers to understand VVUQ results and use them to make informed decisions, and enhance the ability of all VVUQ stakeholders to communicate with each other. This report is an essential resource for all decision and policy makers in the field, students, stakeholders, UQ experts, and VVUQ educators and practitioners."--Publisher's description. 606 $aComputer simulation 606 $aUncertainty$xMathematical models 615 0$aComputer simulation. 615 0$aUncertainty$xMathematical models. 676 $a003.3 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.) 712 02$aNational Academies Press (U.S.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911092912603321 996 $aAssessing the reliability of complex models$94680386 997 $aUNINA LEADER 07145nam 22005173 450 001 9911114715703321 005 20260315090620.0 010 $a90-272-4396-4 010 $a9789027243966 035 $a(CKB)45679710300041 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC32609146 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL32609146 035 $a(OCoLC)1584466345 035 $a(DE-B1597)BR1329515 035 $a(DE-B1597)9789027243966 035 $a(EXLCZ)9945679710300041 100 $a20260315d2026 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$a60 Years of Applied Linguistics $eToward More Engaged Research 205 $a1st ed. 210 1$aAmsterdam/Philadelphia :$cJohn Benjamins Publishing Company,$d2026. 210 4$d©2026. 215 $a1 online resource (224 pages) 225 1 $aAILA Applied Linguistics Series ;$vv.22 311 08$a90-272-3392-6 327 $aIntro -- Table of contents -- Preface -- Introduction -- 1.
