This book explores the latest research on the ability of organisations
to work together smoothly, adapting systems and sharing information. The focus is on the transition to the interconnected world of the future, a key factor in industrial competitiveness.

Enterprise Interoperability is the ability of an enterprise or organisation to work with other enterprises or organisations without special effort. It is now recognised that interoperability of systems and thus sharing of information is not sufficient to ensure common understanding between enterprises. Knowledge of information meaning and understanding of how is to be used must also be shared if decision makers distributed between those enterprises in the network want to act consistently and efficiently. Industry's need for Enterprise Interoperability has been one of the significant drivers for research into the Internet of the Future. EI research will embrace and extend contributions from the Internet of Things and the Internet of Services, and will go on to drive the future needs for Internets of People, Processes, and Knowledge.

Keeps the reader up-to-date with developments in a field which is extremely important for industrial competitiveness. International author pool means that readers can learn about the environment in many countries with which they may have to co-operate. Inter-disciplinary subject matter allows the reader to learn about many points of view on similar problems Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
