The Department of Defense (DoD) is engaged in warfighting and institutional transformation for the
new millennium. In parallel, DoD Modeling & Simulation (M&S) needs to identify and adopt
transformational technologies providing direct tactical relevance to warfighters. The only software
systems that composably scale to worldwide scope utilize World Wide Web technologies.
Therefore, it is evident that an extensible web-based framework offers great promise to scale up the
capabilities of M&S systems to meet the needs of training, analysis, acquisition, and the operational
warfighter. By embracing commercial web technologies as a shared-communications platform and
a ubiquitous-delivery framework, DoD M&S can fully leverage mainstream practices for
enterprise-wide software development.
