A review of physics, numerical methods and computer science associated with ROMS from the prospective of evolution/integration/interference of different pieces to add up to complete system. Selected subjects, such as mode splitting, compressibility effects in Equation of State, boundary conditions, and parallel code evolution are shown in more details.
