The cost and time dimensions are highly mature and stable, but the quality dimension is considered under-researched in projects by many authors. In this paper, we will focus on {\textquoteleft}{\textquoteleft}interoperability degree{{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}} as a quality factor of information systems based on heterogeneous components that interact and exchange information between them. We will also present a methodology to manage and control execution of interoperability degree improvement projects. The proposed methodology will be based on mature and proved tools and frameworks like Control Theory and Project planning theory.}, isbn = {978-1-4799-3392-1}, author = {Taoudi, Abderrahim and Bounabat, Bouchaib and Elmir, Badr} } @conference { ISI:000345294000016, title = {Toward a Methodology to Control Interoperability Improvement Projects Execution}, booktitle = {ENTERPRISE INTEROPERABILITY, IWEI 2013}, series = {Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing}, volume = {144}, year = {2013}, note = {5th International IFIP Working Conference on Enterprise Interoperability (IWEI), Univ Twente, Enschede, NETHERLANDS, MAR 27-28, 2013}, pages = {186-197}, publisher = {IFIP; IFIP Working Grp 5.8; INTEROP VLab; IFIP TC5; OMG; TNO; Novay}, organization = {IFIP; IFIP Working Grp 5.8; INTEROP VLab; IFIP TC5; OMG; TNO; Novay}, abstract = {In front of the increasing complexity of information systems, improving enterprise interoperability has become a crucial element for better management. To address this issue, several research projects have been launched during the last decade and have resulted in a set of frameworks which help organizing and performing enterprise interoperability projects efficiently. In addition to these frameworks, many metrics have been also developed to measure the interoperability degree between systems. However, these frameworks and metrics are not sufficient to better control execution of these projects. Indeed, they don{\textquoteright}t take into account resource management and unanticipated events or situations that can be encountered during execution. Moreover, there is a real lack in methodologies to deal with this situation. The aim of this paper is to introduce a new approach to control interoperability improvement projects execution by using control theory, project planning theory and a specific quantitative interoperability metric RatIop.}, isbn = {978-3-642-36796-0; 978-3-642-36795-3}, issn = {1865-1348}, author = {Taoudi, Abderrahim and Bounabat, Bouchaib and Elmir, Badr}, editor = {VanSinderen, M and Luttighuis, PO and Folmer, E and Bosems, S} }
