What role will simulation play in the assurance of increasingly complex and automated systems?

Our latest position paper takes an in-depth look at this critical question. This comprehensive publication explores:

  • The shift from manual, rule-based assurance to continuous, data-driven, and automated evidence collection.
  • How simulation-based testing enables trust and risk management in software-dependent systems, including those powered by artificial intelligence.
  • The importance of modular assurance, digital twins, and secure collaboration platforms for protecting intellectual property and enabling stakeholder cooperation.
  • Real-world use cases, including the DNV Simulation Trust Center and the verification of maritime autonomous navigation systems.
