Session Description:
As data volumes and sources become larger and more diverse, the use of more advanced information technology becomes more critical.  As these technologies become more and more specialized and complex, they become harder for practitioners to apply to the science. Common problems (over-stating the maturity of the technology, poor definition, lack of documentation) frequently make the technology unusable by the customer base. The independence of the evaluation adds credibility to the claims of the readiness and effectiveness of the technology to the scientist-customer. This session explores the ways in which earth and space information technologies can be validated, both theoretically and experimentally. It discusses the issues in validating technology and its usability by earth and space scientists.
This session invites papers on topics such as:

  *   What are key challenges in validating technology?
  *   What are requirements?
  *   What are validation methodologies?
  *   Examples of successful verification/validation programs
  *   Examples of successful validation environments
