What is it about?
It is a characterization research (secondary study) revealing evidence on how interoperability has been addressed in context-aware software systems (CASS). Based on GQM we defined our research goal as follows: to analyze interoperability with the purpose of characterizing regarding characteristics and measurements from the point of view of software engineering researchers in the context of CASS.

Why is it important?
Context-awareness feature has been widely employed in the last years due to their usefulness to enhance systems functional reliability and user experience. Different software and hardware technologies can be integrated and used to capture context information, without user intervention. However, the heterogeneity of technology makes interoperability a great development challenge.
Perspectives
Despite the observed conceptual divergence on interoperability, we present a set of evidence-based characteristics that can support decision-making and evaluation of interoperability on such systems.
