Introduction

Careful planning, or designing, of simulation experiments is generally a great help, saving time
and effort by providing efficient ways to estimate the effects of changes in the model's inputs on
its outputs. Validation is concerned with determining whether the conceptual simulation model
itself is accurate representation of the system under study.
