Challenge Problems

The ASME V&V 20 and V&V 30 Subcommittees support a series of challenge problems in conjunction with their standards activities.

Challenge problems are specific engineering application problems designed to study and assess Verification, Validation and Uncertainty Quantification (VVUQ) methods in modeling and simulation. Challenge problems are designed to provide insight into VVUQ approaches and a comparison of their performance for a specific problem by experts in the field.

The problem description, results, and takeaways are presented during the Challenge Problem Workshops at the annual ASME V&V Symposium.
