PURPOSE / OBJECTIVES
Provide a domain-independent “Modeling & Simulation SPICE” assessment model for structured application of Modeling & Simulation within the scope of model-based product development and operation, based on the “Credible Simulation Process Framework” from the prostep ivip association and inspired by Automotive SPICE®.
- Transformation of simulation process frameworks into reference process entities according to the ISO/IEC 33xxx series.
- Definition of outcomes, information items and work products that detail process entities.
- Description of base practices and notes, supporting the implementation of the individual processes and the conduct of the individual assessments.
- Adoption and adaptation of suitable process entities from the Automotive SPICE® process reference model (SUP.x, MAN.x, etc.) that complement the core process entities for application of Modeling & Simulation.
- Ensuring applicability and compliance to published standards for provision of quality-assured models and simulations in diverse industrial domains.
MOTIVATION
Modeling & Simulation represents a strategic capability of any competitive company. But it’s not about simply doing – it is essentially the way of how smart Modeling & Simulation is used. For having success, effective governance and efficient management of related activities is necessary.
Knowledge is basically condensed into simulation models for expressing explicit relations in (measurement) data or for mimicking dedicated system behaviors. Nowadays, Digital Twins bridge the gap between system development and operation, where models and simulation are continuously adapted according to live data.
Quality Assurance of models and simulations is therefore essential for (physical and data-driven) informed decision support as well as decision making. Trust in Modeling & Simulation enables its broad uptake in industry, having significant performance gains and substantial benefits.
DELIVERABLES
- Modeling & Simulation SPICE assessment model compliant to ISO/IEC 33xxx
