XMSF Profile Standards Business
Case Analysis
February 2005

ABSTRACT
At the request of the chair of the Extensible Modeling and Simulation
Framework Profile Study Group (XMSF Profile SG), the author has performed
a cursory business case analysis aimed at stating business case options
supporting development of XMSF standards products. To do this a preliminary
analysis of alternative business models supporting Web based simulation
services is developed. These business models in turn support business
cases justifying development and widespread acceptance of standards
for such Web based simulation services, and specifically the proposed
XMSF Profiles standards line. The intent of this paper is to present
options for discussion and follow-on action by the study group, rather
than to recommend a final business case statement.
