   - *Title*: Simulation Verification in Principle
   - *Speaker*: Kevin Kadowaki <https://kevinkadowaki.com/>
   - *Date:* Tuesday Nov 7 @ 8:00AM CST / 9:00AM EST / 3:00PM CET / 10PM HKT

   - *Abstract:* Large-scale numerical simulations are increasingly used
   for scientific investigation; however, given that they are often needed
   precisely because ordinary experimental and observational methods are of
   limited use, this naturally raises questions as to how their use can be
   epistemically justified.  Drawing on the adequacy-for-purpose framework, I
   characterize the problem of model assessment under conditions of scarce
   empirical evidence.  I argue that, while a single model may not suffice
   under these conditions, a suitable collection of models may be used in
   concert to advance a community's scientific understanding of a target
   phenomena and provide a foundation for the progressive development of more
   adequate models.
