                    Summary


• Benefits of breaking up FOMs into BOMs:

  – supports composability by allowing BOMs to be used
    as building blocks for simulations and federations
  – facilitates manageability of FOMs
  – provides extensibility of FOMs through the application
    and integration of new BOMs
  – provides the ability to capture additional model
    information such as patterns or interplay and states
