An Approach to Systems-of-Systems Structural Analysis through Interoperability Assessment: Application on Moroccan Case

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, we propose an indicator to systems-of-systems (SoS) structural analysis through dependencies evaluation which is based on interoperability and exchange inefficiency assessments, with dependencies representing links between component systems within the SoS. Interoperability is a quality that can be viewed from various perspectives. Therefore, we propose an illustrative classification for interoperability that embraces: barriers, scopes and levels. Our study involves a set of metrics to assess each interdependency’s interoperability barriers within the SoS through interoperability levels. Two different case studies, from the Moroccan economic infrastructure, are presented to apply the proposed approach. Results are cross-compared and evaluated.
