United States Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration, Office of Defense Programs, 2004. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. DVD. DVD has 40 files and many of them are folders. On July 13-14, 2004 the Caltech ASC Level 1 Center hosted an ASC TriLab V&V Workshop in La Jolla, CA to discuss and compare what the NNSA laboratories and the ASC Level 1 University Centers are learning with respect to code verification and validation. About 50 people participated in the workshop. Presentations were organized into four sessions and moderated by key V&V personnel from the NNSA labs and ASC Centers: (1) V&V Program Overviews (Jamileh Soudah, ASC HQ - Chair) (2) Code and Solution Verification (Tomek Plewa, University of Chicago Flash Center - Chair) (3) Validation Experiments (Dan Meiron, Caltech ASC Center - Chair) (4) Validation and Uncertainty Quantification (Tony Giunta, Sandia - Chair) The workshop began with V&V overviews presented by speakers from Los Alamos, Lawrence Livermore and Sandia National Laboratories and the ASC Level 1 Alliance Centers at Caltech, the University of Chicago, the University of Illinois, Stanford University and the University of Utah. These baseline presentations were followed by talks addressing approaches and lessons learned in code and solution verification, designing and implementing validation experiments, and what has been accomplished (and remains to be done) in uncertainty qualification. At the end of the workshop Dan Meiron (Caltech) hosted a discussion to summarize commonalities across the lab and university programs and identify collaborative efforts that might follow this workshop.

The purpose of this document is to provide a synopsis of the key issues discussed during the workshop. The intent is not to review the substance of the technical presentations (which are available from the Caltech V&V Workshop web site and CD) but to provide a record of the important issues raised during the workshop discussion and interaction. Input for this synopsis comes primarily from the summary session moderated by Dan Meiron and notes taken during the course of the workshop sessions. Condition: Very good.
