Toward a Family of Maturity Models for the Simulation Interconnection Problem

Starting with a restricted view of composability, we propose a framework for the broader simulation interconnection problem and suggest roles for composability, interoperability and integratability within that framework. We briefly highlight how the framework could be used to: (1) further the ongoing efforts in the theory of simulation composability, and (2) serve as a basis for a family of Maturity Models for simulation.
