Validity forms the basic prerequisite for every simulation model, therefore also for reasonable usage of the agent-based simulation paradigm. However, models based on the multi-agent system metaphor tend to need some particular approaches. In this paper, I propose a process for validating agent-based simulation models that combines face validation, sensitivity analysis, calibration and statistical validation.
