Model verification, validation and accreditation (VV&A) is as complex as developing a modeling and simulation (M&S) application itself. For the purpose of structuring both verification and validation (V&V) activities and V&V results, we introduce a refined V&V process. After identification of the major influence factors on applicable V&V, a conceptual approach for subphase-wise organization of V&V activities is presented. Finally a hierarchical presentation of V&V results is shown which addresses different people involved in use or in accreditation of simulation models.
