Abstract
Furthermost of enterprises have chosen to implement ERP solutions or multiple systems in order to facilitate the data orchestration by connecting several software and hardware together at the operational level [1]; Nevertheless this solution may constraint the business due to the top down ?enclosing? methodology. Another approach may take place by setting loose coupled connections between enterprise?s software in the idea of federated interoperability with only one simplified central orchestrator component. The cooperating parties must accommodate and adjust ?on-the- fly? to ensure quick interoperability establishment, easy- pass, and dynamic environment update. In that objective, developing an Enterprise Operating System (EOS) is seen as one of the key steps towards the future generation enterprise manufacturing systems based on IoT and Cyber Physical System principle. This paper tentatively presents at first a set of requirements and functionalities of EOS. Then a survey on existing relevant works is presented and mapped to the requirements. After that the existing models related to the Federated Enterprise Interoperability are presented. The architectures of envisioned EOS and the federated interoperability are outlined. The last part draws some conclusions and gives future perspectives.
