 ====== POM ====== ====== POM ======
  
 +POM stands for Primitives, Operations, Metrics and is a framework built to compute software metrics on PADL models. A paper introducing POM has been published by [[http://​www.ptidej.net/​publications/​Author/​ZAIDI-F.php|Zaidi,​ Guéhéneuc,​ and Sahraoui]] and can be used as reference. Metrics can be a several kinds:
 +  * Unary or binary, depending on whether they take as input one or two [[padl|IFirstClassEntity(ies)]];​
 +  * Context dependent or independent,​ depending on whether they can be computed by considering given [padl|IFirstClassEntity(ies)]] independently of the rest of the model.
