Book Description
This document provides practical advice on how to improve V and V on Al projects. The question we attempt to answer is: How can I apply my knowledge of V and V practice to Al development, which seems very different from the examples from textbooks, and which cannot be easily mapped into the lifecycle models of the DOD standards? Part I lays a firm foundation by defining terms such as verification, validation, and artificial intelligence. Also, a new representation of system lifecycles is presented which we believe you will find useful in analyzing your organization's Al development efforts. In Part II the focus shifts to providing advice, with section addressed to project leaders, system specifiers's, designers, programmers, and documenters. Each role contributes in a different way to the overall V and V process, so we present a set of guidelines specific to each role. Part III is a collection of three appendices: (1) A user's manual for a software tool, ASP, developed under this contract which supports the V and V process by allowing programmers to better integrate formal testing with code development; (2) A glossary of V and V terms; and (3) A guide to commercially available CASE tools.

Validation and Verification of Knowledge Based Systems
Author: Anca Vermesan
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1475769164
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 363
Book Description
Knowledge-based (KB) technology is being applied to complex problem-solving and critical tasks in many application domains. Concerns have naturally arisen as to the dependability of knowledge-based systems (KBS). As with any software, attention to quality and safety must be paid throughout development of a KBS and rigorous verification and validation (V&V) techniques must be employed. Research in V&V of KBS has emerged as a distinct field only in the last decade and is intended to address issues associated with quality and safety aspects of KBS and to credit such applications with the same degree of dependability as conventional applications. In recent years, V&V of KBS has been the topic of annual workshops associated with the main AI conferences, such as AAAI, IJACI and ECAI. Validation and Verification of Knowledge Based Systems contains a collection of papers, dealing with all aspects of KBS V&V, presented at the Fifth European Symposium on Verification and Validation of Knowledge Based Systems and Components (EUROVAV'99 - which was held in Oslo in the summer of 1999, and was sponsored by Det Norske Veritas and the British Computer Society's Specialist Group on Expert Systems (SGES).

Methods and Procedures for the Verification and Validation of Artificial Neural Networks
Author: Brian J. Taylor
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0387294856
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
Neural networks are members of a class of software that have the potential to enable intelligent computational systems capable of simulating characteristics of biological thinking and learning. Currently no standards exist to verify and validate neural network-based systems. NASA Independent Verification and Validation Facility has contracted the Institute for Scientific Research, Inc. to perform research on this topic and develop a comprehensive guide to performing V&V on adaptive systems, with emphasis on neural networks used in safety-critical or mission-critical applications. Methods and Procedures for the Verification and Validation of Artificial Neural Networks is the culmination of the first steps in that research. This volume introduces some of the more promising methods and techniques used for the verification and validation (V&V) of neural networks and adaptive systems. A comprehensive guide to performing V&V on neural network systems, aligned with the IEEE Standard for Software Verification and Validation, will follow this book.

Verification and Validation of Rule-Based Expert Systems
Author: Suzanne Smith
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 149871935X
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
This book presents an innovative approach to verifying and validating rule-based expert systems. It features a complete set of techniques and tools that provide a more formal, objective, and automated means of carrying out verification and validation procedures. Many of the concepts behind these procedures have been adapted from conventional software, while others have required that new techniques or tools be created because of the uniqueness of rule-based expert systems. Verification and Validation of Rule-Based Expert Systems is a valuable reference for electrical engineers, software engineers, artificial intelligence experts, and computer scientists involved with object-oriented development, expert systems, and programming languages.
