Validating High Level Simulation Results against Experimental Data and Low Level Simulation: A Case Study

Simulation can be considered a necessary evil in the validation ofsystems, especially when the system under consideration is beingprototyped and therefore does not presently exist. This is compounded by the use of high level simulators; on the one hand, highlevel simulation is efficient, in that it abstracts away many detailsof the system which are deemed to be not important. This allowsfor a simpler and faster running simulator, which allows the userto obtain results faster and/or perform more experiments. On theother hand, some of the details abstracted away might turn out tobe important, introducing inaccuracies.This paper outlines a framework for the statistical understandingand attribution of the errors produced by a high level simulatorwhen compared against real experiments by means of a low levelsimulator. This allows the user of a simulator to determine whetheror not the inaccuracies are significant, and whether or not the highlevel simulator requires refinements in its accuracy for the resultsto be valid. These techniques are illustrated via a case study.
