standards and protocols of information exchange this imposition often becomes very difficult for m amp s involving many elements especially for elements with complicated inter element interactions often the composite burdens of these u201c centralized u201d protocols often preclude a systematic characterization of model to model interactions conventional m amp s lacks a methodology that enables models to communicate directly with one another while at the same time exchanging the right level of centralized information to the m amp s system as a whole osm provides a methodology that fills this m amp s void by letting different aspects of the m amp s models interact independently of the centralized aspect of the system while concurrently providing a simplified protocol of information exchange to the system as a whole in other words osm enables the m amp s to better emulate how models interact with each other and as a whole by allowing computer architectures the flexibility of imposing communication standards and protocols at a level that better reflects true interface information exchanges osm represents a methodology that is intended to be constructed into a computer application furthermore there is need for methodology to define how outputs experimental frames and simulator frames can actually be developed separately and combined to produce a scalable devs compliant system much m amp s effort becomes duplicated often within the same organization because this standard does not exist there is an unfortunate absence of reusability in the.
