Abstract:
1. A method, in a data processing system, for controlling a fidelity of a simulation of a system, comprising: receiving a model of the system, wherein the model of the system comprises a plurality of individual components of the system; assigning fidelity values to models of the individual components of the system; executing a simulation of the system using the model of the system and the models of the individual components of the system; maintaining a history of mismatches between fidelity values of the models of the individual components and required fidelity values of the models of the individual components; predicting a fidelity value to be assigned to a component based on the history of mismatches; and adjusting a fidelity value of the component based on results of predicting the fidelity value to be assigned to the component.
