Simulation and Optimization of Interoperability Planning

Optimizing Resource allocation and effort dispatching of interoperability enhancement is a key requirement to effectively setup, develop and evolve intra and inter organizational collaboration. To ensure this objective of effectiveness, this paper proposes initially an approach for representation of interoperability evolution and planning. Interoperability degree is assessed using a ratio metric taking into account all the significant aspects such as potentiality, compatibility and operational performance. In a second stage, a Modified Particle Swarm optimization (MPSO) algorithm is used as a heuristic optimization method to find the best distribution of effort needed in collaborative networks.
