The paper describes a process for executing operational scenarios to quantitatively assess the implications of provisioning services at particular operational and tactical sites. The challenge lies in determining where traditional Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) approaches apply and where they do not. The process leverages a common vocabulary for describing tactical edge (TE) environments as a set of increasingly restricting constraints; applies the constraints as measures of performance; and through modeling and simulation, enables analysis of alternative service provisioning strategies within required measures of effectiveness.
