Model Reuse, Composition, and Adaptation

It is often the case that models and simulations of subsystems such as the components making up a vehicle are created in isolation and must later be integrated with other models to create a model of the overall system. However, the reuse of existing models and simulations can be costly and time-consuming, and can yield uncertain results. Advances are needed to enable cost-effective reuse of models and simulations and to ensure that integrated models produce reliable results. Key findings discussed in this chapter include the need for advances in the theory of reuse to provide a firm theoretical foundation for producing robust and reliable reuse practices, the need for guides documenting best practices on reuse, and the need for research advances on the social, behavioral, and cultural aspects of reuse in addition to technical issues.
