Open Questions

Where did this term come from?
Isn't it more a SOA related term than a general system design 'principle'?
If not, what is the exact difference to 'modularity'? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.28.77.9 (talk) 15:51, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is a term I have seen used when authors of simulation papers try to show that at a high level, simulation of abstract reality has no use for interoperability, as that is a lower level function. In other words, this is a useless term, at least in that context. I would hope that it would simply mean, having the ability to be composed. Realtme101 (talk) 04:21, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
