ABSTRACT

This paper describes a means of rapid assessment and review of simulation modelling through drawing upon the Evidence Framework Approach (EFA). The work described focuses on supporting reviewers of modelling, although the method can also be re-purposed to support modellers in the modelling process. The EFA has been used to review new ideas, several months of work, and several years of work. The paper starts by setting out the context of our work and the support provided by our academic partners. It then summarises our approach before making the case for the importance of applying the whole of our approach, through using a historical analogy. The intended means of application is then described, before mentioning two additional lenses particularly helpful to assessing simulation projects. An example of the EFA in use upon a simulation project is then provided. Finally, what has been achieved and the way ahead is discussed.

摘要

本文介绍了一种基于证据框架方法（EFA）的快速评估和评估仿真模型的方法。所描述的工作着重于支持建模审阅者，尽管该方法也可以重新用于支持建模过程中的建模者。EFA已被用于审查新想法，几个月的工作和几年的工作。本文首先列出了我们的工作背景以及学术合作伙伴提供的支持。然后，在通过历史类比论证应用整个方法的重要性之前，总结了我们的方法。然后描述了预期的应用方式，然后提及另外两个对评估仿真项目特别有帮助的镜头。然后提供了在仿真项目上使用的EFA的示例。最后，讨论了已取得的成就和前进的道路。
