Abstract

A technical and scientific understanding of interoperability has been available for years in the telecom industry. But the practice of interoperability needs to evolve because of the speed with which ICT ecosystems are created.

This talk will present the reasons why this is the case and subsequently call for further technical and scientific research. The presentation will include the following points. Practice of interoperability today Research (e.g. DIEM and ARTEMIS projects) Business practices (Handling IPR, Standardisation) Practice of interoperability in the future ICT ecosystems needs Societal aspects (legal, business, ethical) Technical aspects (platform viewpoint, deployment viewpoint) Engineering aspects (interoperability by design, interoperability assurance) Business practices and consensus building (Harvard roadmap) Discussion
