            Abstract : 
Simulation modeling can be a key enabler and method for mitigating risk within the Department of Defense¿s Enterprise Transformation, especially in the area of the IT systems that enable transformation. This paper provides a brief overview of the Air Force¿s approach to enterprise architecture development and demonstrates how modeling and simulation (M&S) can be used to optimize Enterprise IT architecture design to meet the needs of operational end users.
