            Abstract : 
We consider the issue of composability as a design principle for simulation. While component based modeling is believed to potentially reduce the complexities of the modeling task, we describe a few of the complexities introduced through composability. We observe that these complexities might tend to offset the benefits of component based modeling on a large scale
