6The Guideline VVA
- What are we supposed to do? Our mission
- Develop a guideline on how to conduct VVA in
the scope of business of the Federal German
authorities.
So what? The German Forces acquire a model,
describe a procedure, how VVA is to be
conducted.

The V-Model XT
- Standard for hard- and software development in
the scope of business for the federal German
authorities - Consists of 18 building blocks, about 100
products and activites - Easily expandable by adding new building blocks

- Standard procedure for the procurement of defense
material - Consists of 4 phases
- Mappings from the V-Model XT to the CPM exist
- Emphasis is on reducing administrative overhead

The ITIS model development process
- Consists of working steps and intermediate
products - Model development is something else than S/W
development! - Can be mapped to i18l standards

25Summarization and Outlook
- Summarization
- Studys focal point
Establish a guideline for the VVA for the
Federal German authorities
- Main result A V-Models supplement, consisting
of two building blocks - Modeling and Simulation
- Verification, Validation, and Accreditation
26Summarization and Outlook
- The Future The Study VVA Part 3
- Coaching activities on VVA for contracting
authorities AND German industry - Accompanying selected industry projects
- Enlarging the guideline to parallel and
distributed simulations (esp. HLA-Federations) - Continuing contributions to international
standardization activities - NMSG-054
- ITOP WGE 7.2
- SISO PDGs
- REVVA 2 (???)
- TEAM MS
27Summarization and Outlook
- Ongoing discussion
- The German Forces Center for Transformation wants
ITIS to become - The German national VV-institution
- To be in charge of educating and certifying
accreditation agents
