Abstract
We consider the issue of composability as a design principle for simulation. While component-based modeling is believed to potentially reduce the complexities of the modeling task, we describe a few of the complexities introduced through composability. We observe that these complexities might tend to offset the benefits of component-based modeling on a large scale. 1 INTRODUCTION A recent topic of interest in the general software community involves the notion of component-based software development. Representing the latest attempt to describe effective mechanisms for reusability, component technologies such as CORBA, COM/DCOM/OLE, ActiveX and JavaBeans, to name but a few, have received significant attention. Within the simulation community, component-based modeling is becoming increasingly prevalent. Within the defense simulation community, for example, a significant investment has been made to engender system-level reuse through interoperability. Standards like the High Level Archi...
