System Verification & Validation
Dr. Mark Austin
An arcology is a combination of architecture with ecology, essentially forming an environmentally friendly human living system well suited to systems engineering analysis. This document defines and describes a network queuing simulation model that might be used to perform trade study analysis on such a system. The model attempts to structurally decompose the human habitat into groups of subsystems on all scale levels that interact through the exchange of resource groups. The resulting resource flows are quantified into performance metrics used to compare different types of arcologies to current living conditions. Bottom-up scenarios of arcology models will be compared to top-down scenarios constructed based on present day statistical data. Tradeoff studies focus on feasibility of coverage based on differing transportation network topologies. Finally, this document outlines a verification and validation plan for models created using the simulation engine.
