Framework for multi-resolution modeling based on BOM and FEDEP

To normalize and generalize representing multi-resolution models (MRMs) and the process as well as the activities in multi-resolution modeling (MRM), a framework for MRM based on base object model (BOM) and federation development and execution process (FEDEP) was put forward. The framework is comprised of three MRM approaches based on BOM and a MRM process based on FEDEP. The three methods were introduced briefly. By setting forth those fundamental activities in FEDEP concerned with BOM and MRM in detail, the process of BOM based MRM was integrated into the FEDEP. The framework can formalize the representations for MRMs and normalize the activities and process for MRM. This facilitates the reuse, interoperability and composability for MRMs and consistencies among them, which asserts the effectiveness for MRM.
