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.
