 ====== 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.

 Computing POM metrics using PADL is made easy by the helper class ''pom.helper.MetricsGenerator''. After having installed CPL, PADL, and POM, just go into the ''POM Tests'' project and have a look at this class. It provides a main method with snippets of code to call one of the three methods:
