Abstract
Interoperability resulted from various evolutions occurring in a modern networked enterprise, or Systems-of-Systems (SoS) is a goal for an organisation to maintain a sustained, sustainable and controlled SoS evolution. A common issue facing networked enterprises in these evolutions is how to systematically manage and effectively achieve desired interoperability meeting new requirements of business and technologies. This paper presents an understanding of challenges in dealing with interoperability in evolutions of networked enterprises or SoS, and discusses an architecture-based approach to interoperability evaluation in various evolutions of networked enterprises.
