Setting the scene Inter operability has three main levels: Operational ( mission, dispatch, information, procedures…EMTEL…) System (systems of systems…MESA…) Technical ( …TETRA, SOS I…, SCIP (NATO)…) Can be static or dynamic Focus on Public Protection and Disaster Relief-PPDR, Homeland Security-HLS markets. Isolated interop. (Human intervention), Connected interop. (Peer to peer), Functional interop., (Distributed evt), Domain interop. (Integrated evt), Enterprise interop. (Universal access) EADS SN

Bottom up/ Top down approach Bottom-up approaches seek to achieve interoperability by adoption of specific technologies or information representation standards bottom-up is generally focused on technical approaches that are independent of the particular organization that might adopt them. Top-down approaches typically come at the problem from an enterprise architecture or broad scope perspective (usually directive/mandate-oriented) top-down is having a specific organization’s enterprise or mission objectives drive interoperability EADS SN

Commonality and system interaction based approaches Commonality-based approaches focus on the execution environments of systems and try to achieve interoperability across a given enterprise scope by having every system within that scope adopt a particular set of standard elements for their execution environment. The system interaction-based approach. This approach focuses on the space between systems rather than on what the execution environment might be inside a given system’s boundary. In interaction-based approaches, no one knows what your execution environment is – it’s a black box approach to interoperability. EADS SN

Netcentricity An ICT model interoperability is netcentricity. the power of digital networks to distribute Voice and Data information instantly and without borders. Characterized by global connectivity, real-time collaboration and rapid and continuous information exchange, netcentricity is ubiquitous EADS SN

OSS scope OSS cannot apply to all the ICT model Critical issues relate to: Quality Security Maintenability Coherence Performance To be compared to an SDO standard EADS SN

Framework A framework for Defining Evaluating Measuring Validating netcentricity should be set up and standardized ? This would allow OSS to be qualified in a System (of Systems) with the various SDO Standards used in the System EADS SN

Conclusion ICT based models combine Interoperability Netcentricity They allow to rely, partially, on different Open source standards A netcentricity framework could be made open EADS SN
