The survey design is on the wiki and can be accessed through this URL: http://wiki.simtk.org/cpms/Ten_Simple_Rules_of_Credible_Practice/Survey_Design Jacob, I'm intentionally keeping this short (for the moment): Why do you want to normalize the responses of each modeler? What justifies that? The ra...

"Always clearly and concisely document all significant assumptions and known model limitations" Slight modification (I like to distinguish abstractions & assumptions): "Always clearly and concisely document all significant abstractions, assumptions, and known model limitations" Martin's Item #2 on ...

[*] Make sure your results are reproducible (although I like Tony’s refinement here better as well: Make it easy for anyone to repeat and/or falsify your results – so this encompasses writing readable code, sharing the code and data, etc.)[/list] This wording in the "Top Ten Ranked" does not read w...

I started out this task without looking at anyone’s input. Keeping this list to 10 “simple” rules is quite difficult for such an involved and complex subject. The idea behind these rules is that any M&S practitioner who follows them will produce more credible results. The following items in the orig...

The ‘space of model uses’ will likely be quite large, but the ‘space of model types’ may not be if we keep it at a high enough level. Understanding model type will immedia...

Re: Voting on changes It's hard to keep track of these various changes as posted in the Forum. I agree with Tony on this. After awhile, interlaced Forum postings are difficult to track/trace and can lose their context. An updated draft document of its current state will be quite beneficial. Is ther...

DoD glossary While I agree that we should not duplicate efforts of good work already accomplished, we also should not just take a particular venue's (e.g., DoD's) definition as it is. The DoD's glossary in particular has nuances that are particular to the military (e.g., commander focused) and they...

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, ...
