Measuring Systems Interoperability: Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract

This paper is one of a series commissioned by the DoD that characterizes the status of measurement associated with a particular aspect of software engineering. The specific focus of this paper is on measures for interoperability. Interoperability is the ability of systems, units, or forces to provide services to and accept services from other systems, units, or forces and to use the services so exchanged to enable them to operate effectively together. The intent of this paper is to identify current practices related to measuring systems interoperability and to recommend a set of measures that will assist military planners in the acquisition, development and implementation of C4I systems that are interoperable.
