I spoke with Alan Johnson of Mimosa today and he reported companies such as Indus, Synergen and others do use open standards.

Thanks Terrence for your answer.

Today MIMOSA is an US defence standard. What I understund of the information on ther home page.

MIMOSA is not a US Defense standard. The spirit of MIMOSA is accepted by the military (the concept of open architecture). However, the US Military has made the decision that they would defer most MIL-Standards (technical) to civilian standards, such as IEEE, etc.

The change was initiated by former Secretary of Defense William Perry in 1994 as the Aquisition Reform movement.

MIMOSA is a civilian body.

Sorry, what you mean by open standards, why we need open stds? TQ
