This report reprints two papers that were presented at the Foundations of V&V (Computer Model Verification and Validation in the 21st Century Workshop, October 22-23, 2002. This workshop was sponsored by the Defense Modeling & Simulation Office and other government agencies and hosted by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. Its first objective was to produce a clear & comprehensive description of the state of the verification and validation art for modeling and simulation. Robert C. Easterling graduated from Ohio State University with a Ph.D. in statistics in 1967 and joined the statistical group at Sandia National Laboratories, in Albuquerque, N.M. He was at Sandia from 1967 until 2001 except for one semester as Visiting Lecturer at the University of Wisconsin (1974), a two-year assignment as Statistical Advisor with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (1975-77), and a Research Fellowship with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (1994). At Sandia he managed the Statistics and Human Factors department and the Systems Modeling and Analysis department and became a Senior Scientist in 1998.
