PIS: Interoperability and Decision-Making Process—A Review

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Evolution of Pervasive Information Systems

Abstract

Pervasive Information Systems (PIS) can be seen as Information Systems (IS) deployed everywhere, going beyond the traditional frontiers of organizations. In this context, they can be considered as Systems-of-Information Systems (SoIS), which are an emerging classification of arrangements of managerial and operationally independent IS. Despite the evident importance and recurrent need for interoperability among IS, the management of interoperability links and their adjustment at a suitable level is still challenging, particularly considering the independence of IS. Given that context, we aim to bring the IS community the discussion about the importance of technical, human, and organizational factors beyond just integration among systems, around interoperability in the domain of PIS, seen as SoIS, to support their decision-making processes. We present these factors as potential issues to explain how practices around interoperability need a synergy of efforts beyond technical decisions and propose some guidelines for the design of interoperability links in PIS, seen as SoIS. We report results of a deep study about factors that potentially influence the establishment of interoperability links among IS to form PIS, seen as SoIS, and support their decision-making processes.
