Barriers driven methodology for enterprise interoperability

Abstract

In order to perform enterprise interoperability projects in an organised and efficient way, this paper presents a methodology which aims at helping establishing interoperability in enterprises in a step-by-step manner. A novel barrier-driven approach is adopted. An interoperability framework is elaborated to structure interoperability issues and concerns. An interoperability measurement approach is drafted to characterise the degree of interoperability achieved. A structured approach is defined showing the main phases to follow to use the interoperability framework and interoperability measurement methods. © 2007 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
