The question asked is this
If you have military simulations how can these simulations take in other parts that can be composed reliably and expectantly.
Unlike software interfaces where behavior could be different while contracts stay the same, in this case there may be a need for an identical behavior.

The paper I have mentioned above is a "great" paper. Read it if you can.
