Doing Science with SimGrid
**************************
to streamline this kind of usage. But SimGrid is no magical tool, and
it is of your responsability that the tool actually provides sensible
results. Fortunately, there is a vast literature on how to avoid
-Modeling & Simulations pitfalls. We review here two particular works.
+Modeling & Simulations pitfalls. We review here some specific works.
In `An Integrated Approach to Evaluating Simulation Credibility
<http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a405051.pdf>`_, the authors
actually expect to discover whether the tool actually covers your
needs. Then, as they say, "a fool with a tool is still a fool", so you
need to think about your methodology before you submit your articles.
-You really should read this article, that contains many other
-interesting advices.
+`Towards a Credibility Assessment of Models and Simulations
+<https://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/20080015742.pdf>`_
+gives a formal methodology to assess the credibility of your
+simulation results.
`Seven Pitfalls in Modeling and Simulation Research
<https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2430188>`_ is even more
you can see, this article is a must read. It's a pitty that it's not
freely available, though.
