    Um dos requisitos mais importantes na instalação de equipamentos no contexto industrial é a gestão da segurança funcional de máquinas (GSFM). Falhas nesse processo ou problemas relacionados à interoperabilidade entre tomadores de decisões, operadores de produção e sistemas, podem levar desde gastos adicionais até a acidentes de trabalho. Entende-se a interoperabilidade como função organizacional necessária a adequada comunicação e entendimento da informação entre agentes computacionais e humanos.  Através de uma revisão de literatura sobre interoperabilidade empresarial e segurança funcional de máquinas, aliada à identificação de critérios técnicos a partir das normas vigentes, permitiu-se identificar elementos e barreiras que impactam na gsfm. A abordagem diagnóstica proposta é suportada pelo método de análise multicritério ahp (Analytic Hierarchy Process), que fornecerá uma base matemática para inferência sobre o nível ou potencial da gsfm sob a ótica da interoperabilidade. Os resultados obtidos mostram que a empresa onde o estudo foi conduzido encontra-se no nível mais alto. Porém, oportunidades de melhoria são identificadas nos critérios que sofrem fragilidade principalmente nas perspectivas de negócios e processos, foco atual da organização

    A semi-automated system for interoperability assessment: an ontology- based approach

    International audienceA plethora of approaches to assess the ability of companies to interoperate can be found in the literature. Nevertheless, most of the current assessment approaches are following manual-conducted processes, which can be laborious, time-consuming and costly. Therefore, this paper aims at developing a knowledge-based system for supporting an interoperability assessment process using an ontology as its knowledge model. The resulting system allows identifying potential interoperability problems and related solutions based on the knowledge model including information of the assessed enterprise(s). A real business case is presented for evaluating the proposed approach

    This qualitative study applied the exploratory Delphi expert reviews as a strategy through the research onion of Saunders, Lewis and Thornhill (2016) to explore School Management Systems (SMS) and how they can be improved through interoperability. The study followed the research methodology as outlined in chapter 5 to conceptualize the School Management Systems Interoperability Maturity (SMSIM) model that provides guidelines for achieving the next level of interoperability in SMS. To conceptualize the model, literature findings, a combination of Organisational Interoperability Maturity Model (OIM) and Information Systems Interoperability Maturity Model (ISIMM), and experts with over 10 years of experience in various fields participated in the study. Hermeneutics and thematic analysis were used to analyze and interpret the data. After the Delphi expert review results (in two iterations), it was evident that nothing had to be changed or adjusted from the conceptual literature model therefore, the model that emanated from literature was the final model of the study.School of ComputingM.
