Abstract
The Extensible Modeling and Simulation Framework (XMSF) is defined as a composable set of standards, profiles and
recommended practices for web-based modeling and simulation. Markup languages based on XML, Internet technologies, and Web
services are combining to enable a new generation of distributed M&S applications to emerge, develop and interoperate. The
purpose of this task is to develop the technical framework, coordinate with existing public standardization efforts, and demonstrate
distributed exemplars of the developed framework.
This report describes work accomplished in 2004 by the XMSF project team consisting of Naval Postgraduate School Modeling,
Virtual Environments, and Simulation (MOVES) Institute, George Mason University (GMU), Science Applications International
Corporation (SAIC), and Old Dominion University/Virginia Modeling, Analysis, and Simulation Center (ODU/VMASC). Principal
areas of work included ongoing community education and development activities through conference and workshop participation,
liaison with relevant standards organizations, and development of exemplar applications demonstrating the technical approaches
and applicable standards relevant to XMSF precepts. The report proposes follow-on efforts for 2005, including continuation of
current efforts and further standardization work with multicasting, web-enabled IEEE 1516 Run-Time Infrastructure, data modeling
in C2 and M&S systems, and executable architectures.
