Abstract

The ability of constituent systems to collaborate effectively in a System-of-System (SoS) depends on the extent of interoperability achieved among them. However, communication among constituents relies on common agreements made by intermediaries in many levels of interoperability, increasing the cost and barriers of collaboration. In this scenario, this work presents a Trust Interoperability Blockchain Architecture (TIBA) to enable trust in the interoperability of SoS. TIBA will be evaluated though simulations in a large company in the context of Industry 4.0, considering the Product as a Service (PaaS) business model. We expect simulations results reveal that TIBA can contribute towards the assurance of trust interoperability in SoS.
