Abstract
In this paper an interoperability service utility (ISU) model is defined and formalized for improving the collaboration between partners. The ISU model makes it possible to limit the associated risk during the exchange of herogeneous information between enterprises. Another advantage of the approach consists in the simulation-based evaluation method of the impact of interoperability parameters on the performances of the business process. The integration of the ISU model was achieved at the business activity level and a method for performance evaluation is presented. The effectiveness of the ISU model was studied in a national industrial project and is shown herein on a simple example of P2P collaboration.
