The vast attempts to build a quantitative model for interoperability measurement has been drawn down to a model called the i-score model, built at the Air Force Institute of Technology. This model has a great capacity to be used as a domain-free model for heterogeneous collaborative systems. The model introduced in this paper improves the i-score model in a way that makes it much simpler and more applicable. The model presented in this paper, the interoperability index model, accounts for direct interfaces among different systems and assigns a weight to each of them. By implementing these new changes, the interoperability index model will be a more accurate measure for interoperability in a system of systems framework and provides a quantitative basis for systems integration and a standard for composability.
