“…Thus, in a preliminary work (Leal et al 2016), we hypothesise that a NE can be seen as a System-of-Systems composed of at least two autonomous systems (enterprises) that collaborate during a period of time to reach a shared objective, where interoperability requirements should be met for ensuring the network functioning. This hypothesis is raised based on the SoS definition proposed by Krygiel (1999): a SoS is an interoperating collection of component systems that produce results unachievable by the particular systems alone (Krygiel 1999), where component systems are themselves typically heterogeneous, interdisciplinary and distributed systems (INCOSE 2011).…”

“…In (Guédria and Naudet 2014) the OoEI was enriched with "Enterprise as a System" concepts for identifying more precisely the relations between the interoperability and the enterprise systems. Based on the studied SoS concepts, we enriched the proposed model in (Leal et al 2016). An overview of the mentioned model is illustrated in Figure 1.…”

When two or more systems work together, it is crucial to verify interoperability. Systems engineers should be working to continuously improve the ability to interoperate for maintaining a sustainable and efficient collaboration among the networked systems. Systems could benefit from the use of interoperability assessments for identifying their strengths and weakness as well as their compatibility with potential collaborative peer systems. However, the current assessment approaches do not explicitly define the interoperability requirements and their interdependencies. Acknowledging the different requirement dependencies supports the identification of impacts on the overall system, for example implications within a network caused by changes in the collaboration strategy or the introduction of a new information technology tool. Thus, based on model‐based systems engineering, this paper defines a networked enterprise as a system of systems (SoS) and proposes to use the SoS characteristics for identifying interoperability requirements and their dependencies. Further, we formalise and utilise inputs for an assessment tool.

The development of Interoperability is a necessity for organisations to achieve business goals and capture new market opportunities. Indeed, interoperability allows enterprises to exchange information and use it to seize their shared goals. Therefore, it should be verified and continuously improved. This is the main objective of the Interoperability Assessment (INAS). Indeed, such an assessment aims at determining the strengths and weakness of an enterprise in terms of interoperability. Many surveys and reviews have been proposed in the literature to analyse the existing INAS approaches. However, the majority of these reviews are focusing on specific properties rather than a general view of an INAS. Therefore, this paper proposes a systematic literature review of INAS approaches. The objectives are to identify the relevant INAS approaches and to compare them based on a holistic view based on their similar and different properties (e.g. type of assessment, the used measurement mechanism, and the addressed interoperability barriers). A bibliometric analysis of the selected INAS approaches is also conducted with a discussion of their advantages and limitations.
