Abstract

Achieving interoperability involves reaching agreement on common interfaces and promoting interoperability through performance specifications. Effective integration practices are a simple, effective, and direct way of addressing the challenge. By deciding on an integration approach with well-defined interfaces and selecting systems and devices that conform to that approach and choosing integrators that have experience implementing the chosen approach, many problems can be avoided. No integration effort is seamless but by specifying interoperability requirements during the procurement process typical problems from ad hoc approaches can be avoided or reduced. By continuing this approach to its conclusion at the end of the procurement process, these same interoperability requirements may lead themselves to specified performance criteria that can be used to measure interoperability during implementation. The contractual language may contain performance incentives and penalties tied to these requirements as appropriate.
