NASA Standard for Models and Simulations: Philosophy and Requirements Overview

Open access

Abstract

Following the Columbia Accident Investigation Board report, the NASA Administrator chartered an executive team (known as the Diaz Team) to identify those report elements with NASA-wide applicability and to develop corrective measures to address each element. One such measure was the development of a standard for the development, documentation, and operation of models and simulations. The resulting standard attempts to develop a general framework for communicating information to decision makers by including programmatic, documentation, and reporting requirements. It also includes a scale intended to measure the credibility associated with model and simulation results. This report describes the philosophy and requirements overview of the resulting NASA Standard for Models and Simulations.

Verification

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The misuse of an existing model and the reliance on engineers' judgment led to the false conclusion that shuttle reentry would not be affected by a small hole in the heat shield caused by a debris strike during takeoff.

    “The misuse of an existing model and the reliance on engineers’ judgment led to the false conclusion that shuttle reentry would not be affected by a small hole in the heat shield caused by a debris strike during takeoff [57, 58].”
  • The CAS can be useful in measuring model development progress or in identifying areas where improvement is most needed.

    “Additionally, it can be useful in measuring model development progress or in identifying areas where improvement is most needed [57].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
