Brief description Coding Error Isolation in Computerised Simulation Models with Application to Wastewater Treatment Systems. Simulation code verification through program testing and debugging is crucially important, but is tedious and often difficult. A novel approach will be studied in this project. The approach involves detecting coding errors through back-to-back testing using two independently implemented versions of a given mathematical model, and isolating the coding errors through systematically analysing the test error signal generated (the difference between the outputs of the two models). This is possible because one of the two versions is implemented in such a way that the test error carries an easily identifiable feature. This project could revolutionize the area of model verification.
