Satisfaction Indicators Taking into Account the Measurement and Computation Uncertainties for the Comparison of Data in Electromagnetics: Motivations and Scheduled Tasks of the French National Working Group CDIIS

A national study of criteria able to provide a satisfaction indicator about the comparison of data from electromagnetic measurement and computation, taking into account their associated uncertainties, has been organized in the framework of a French Working Group of the GdR Ondes, called CDIIS (Comparaison de Données entachées d'Incertitudes: Indicateurs de Satisfaction). This Working Group involves several industrial or academic research laboratories, including laboratories depending on governmental organisms. Four tasks have been defined: 1/ Identification of a set of satisfaction indicators. 2/ Identification of pertinent test cases in different application domains of electromagnetics. 3/ Application of the above criteria on the test cases. 4/ Conclusions: which criterion is best adapted to a given electromagnetism problem. This paper deals with Task 1 and discusses the results of various indicators applied to a canonical RCS (Radar Cross Section) test case.
