Re: Changes to the summary document providing Committee over
Please find below my responses to proposed changes. Slide 7: Need, under Clinical Urgency: - Change the first bullet From: * There is a pressing need to utilize computational modeling & simulation to support clinical research and decision making in healthcare. To : * Modeling and simulation offers t...

Re: Review of summary document providing Committee overview
Finally, I also suggest that to simplify our work we move to use wiki technology for our documents. We can check with MSM wiki if it is possible to get space there yet there are other alternatives. The advantages of wiki technology are: it uses a simple web interface, it keeps transitions, and it k...

Re: Definitions: Building a Glossary
Hi All, Based on the previous replies, I would need some clarification. Do you think it is necessary to establish individual entries for combined phrases, e.g. intended use, context of use, multiscale modeling? Shouldn't it be adequate if we provide definitions, for the listed phrases for example, i...

Re: Credibility assessment: Is it a well posed problem?
(ii) starting from this specific material: establish a step by step questionnaire that give elements on the "credibility of the model", very much like questions we have when we review,very simple things such as: We have previously provided considerations for reporting finite element analysis studie...

Re: Review of summary document providing Committee overview
Your idea of keeping distance from some topics such as education and training makes sense. Yet there is a grey area there that may need attention. If a predictive computational model is used to power an educational model. For example predict blood flow to calculate blood pressure in a manakin. In t...

Re: Review of summary document providing Committee overview
All : One of the things I’m finding interesting is the terminology this community is using. In several of my latest efforts, I’ve found the compilation/creation of a domain glossary/lexicon very important, and if it’s not done sooner, we’ll discover later that we should have done it sooner. Perhaps...

Re: Regarding the issue of "intended uses"
1. Does the Committee need some way to shrink the modeling & model use case space on which it will focus? Are we focused on uses where simulation results are essential? I would like to be more inclusive and learn from other disciplines, different modeling techniques, and a variety of use cases. Of ...

Re: Credibility and reproducibility
You have sufficient clarifications in the reply to better explain your thoughts. To keep things short here are some characteristics that give credibility points: - Reproducibility - Publicly available Test Suite - Documentation with examples - Good service indicated by Responsiveness of developers ...

Re: Review of summary document providing Committee overview
1. Under the Clinical urgency slide please consider adding the following bullet Current computing technology can now replace many human tasks and decisions. It is important that the ability of computers is neither exaggerated nor diminished. It is important to gage this transition of tasks from hum...
