Decisional interoperability: Concepts and formalisation

Abstract

This paper deals with interoperability of enterprises. Interoperability is a multi-form issue and can be studied at different levels. This research work focuses on the business level and particularly on the decisional aspect so called decisional interoperability. The objective of the paper is to present how to develop decisional interoperability using design principles with mathematical formalisation, in order to improve and to facilitate the decision-making activity in a collaborative context. Finally, an illustration example using the proposed principles is presented to show the interest of the decisional interoperability solution.
