Abstract: Along with the developing of computing and modeling and simulation techniques,simulation models have been applied in military,social and economic areas widely in these years.Meanwhile,the capabilities of simulation mo-dels become more and more strong,and simulation systems become more and more complex.Thus,the credibility assessment of simulation models is confronted with many challenges and becomes the crucial difficult problem nowadays.This paper reviewed principal works,especially current researches on credibility assessment of simulation models.Firstly,the concept of credibility and its relationship with Verification,Validation and Accreditation(VV&A) were introduced.Secondly,the research history,paradigm and life cycle of credibility assessment of simulation models were summarized,and important methods and techniques were analyzed and classified.Finally,eight challenges of credibility assessment of simulation models were presented.The overview and difficulties analysis provide significant references for constructing the framework and innovating theories and methods for the credibility assessment of simulation models.

Key words: Credibility assessment, Difficulties analysis, Overview, Simulation models, VV&A
