XDV – The Extensible Modeling and Simulation Framework (XMSF) Distributive Continuous Experimentation Environment (DCEE) Viewer

2. Background
DCEE has established a framework of common terminology for the information to be exchanged between components.
The DCEE concept is open for extensions to emerging solutions. Use of XML, standardized tag-sets, web services, and web technology is part of the general concept of DCEE.
The integration of DCEE and XMSF seems to be an obvious step.

3. Objective of XDV
XDV is intended to proof the feasibility of the concept for a web-based, low-cost viewer using open web-technology.
Every eligible stakeholder interested in observing execution of the ongoing experiment can log into the federation and use the viewer software to follow the actual experiment.
The necessary software will be executed on a commercial off-the-shelf PC.
