BOM template allows BOMs to be captured in a reusable way maps the relationship between the elements in the Conceptual Model space and the interface description elements described in the HLA Object Model Space

BOM Elements a component-based standard describing reusable piece parts of a simulation or simulation space. BOMs can be used to document one or more of the following piece part elements: –Conceptual Model Definition Patterns of interplay State machines Entities Events –Object Model Definition (“Interface”) Object classes / attributes Interaction classes / parameters –Mapping between Conceptual Model and Object Model Used as a building block in the development and extension of a simulation and/or a federation of simulations. Provides developers and users a modular approach –for defining and adding new capabilities to a federate or federation, –for quickly composing object models such as HLA FOMs and SOMs through BOM Assemblies.

Triggers The conceptual entity identified as the sender of the action within the pattern of interplay publishes information as an event for other conceptual entities to react to, but does not know the target conceptual entities. In the HLA, the event is generated using either an object class attribute update or a sent interaction. A response (reaction) may occur by one or more subscribing conceptual entities that have interest in such observable events. In the HLA, the occurrence of the undirected event is of interest to a federate, which may react or respond to such an action. Publish EventSubscribe Event Undirected Events Source Björn Löfstrand – Pitch AB Figure 8 ‑ 7 – Event - Trigger Figure 8-10

Messages The conceptual entity identified as the sender of the action within the pattern of interplay directs (sends) a message event to the conceptual entity(s) identified as the receiver. In the HLA, the message occurs between federates using either an object class attribute update or a sent interaction. The conceptual entity(s) identified as the receiver reacts to the information contained in the directed message. In the HLA, the federate responsible for modeling the receiving conceptual entity(s) may respond to the specific sent interaction or object attribute update.

What is Composability? Barriers “The ability to rapidly select and assemble components to construct meaningful simulation systems to satisfy specific user requirements. Composability includes the framework, body of knowledge, tools, techniques, and standards necessary to enable effective integration, interoperability, and reuse.” - (DoD M&S Master Plan) M&S COMPONENTS - Reusable building blocks which have a known set of inputs and provide expected output behavior, but the implementation details may be hidden. Such components are useful for constructing simulations and/or providing functionality for simulation systems.” – COI M&S Metadata Focus Group
