Improving the Composability of Department of Defense Models and Simulations

Abstract

In modeling and simulation (M&S), composability is the capability to select and assemble components in various combinations to satisfy specific user requirements meaningfully. It has sometimes been seen as the elusive holy grail of modeling and simulation; past Department of Defense (DoD) efforts to achieve it have had distinctly mixed success despite the many technological developments that have occurred over the past 5 to 10 years. In reviewing this situation, we have sought to identify key elements for defining a path to future success.
