Treffer: Replicated Computations Results (RCR) Report for "Towards Standardizing Validation Practices in Agent-Based Modeling: A Hierarchical ABM Validation Framework'.

"Towards Standardizing Validation Practices in Agent-Based Modeling: A Hierarchical ABM Validation Framework" [1] proposes a novel validation framework for the family of simulation models known as agent-based models (ABMs), particularly popular in the social sciences. The framework is based on, first a clear definition of three crucial concepts in ABMs: calibration, verification, and validation, and then a review of 17 validation approaches. This replicated computations results report focuses on the prototypical tool implementation of such framework, Hierarchical ABM Validation (HAV). Considering the replicability material revised by the authors after an iteration, the software was straightforward to install and use, and the experimental results from the article could be reproduced in seconds on a standard laptop machine. The article receives the badges Artifacts Available, Artifacts Functional, Artifacts Evaluated-Reusable and Results Validated-Results Reproduced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
