Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Keeping up to date requires manufacturing enterprises to use the latest results from the ICT sector. This is the case when enterprises collaborate with external partners, exchanging products and data, such as in a supply chain. Enterprises face an increase in exchanges and sharing, including machine (physical means), humans, information, and IT in collaborative organization. In this context, although interoperability management is becoming a major concern, it remains not sufficiently and properly anticipated, controlled, and accompanied to recover from incompatibilities and interaction issues or failures.
This Special Issue welcomes recent and innovative contribution works on how enterprise modelling, enterprise interoperability, and model-driven approaches can lead, together with system engineering architecture, to developing and improving enterprise and supply chain interoperability.
Model-driven (MD) approaches are based and rely strongly on modelling. They offer enterprises internal development guidelines and good practices but unfortunately do not consider the interoperability that is required between partners when setting a collaboration. As a result, model-driven system engineering architecture (MDSEA), extended with interoperability concerns, has led to the design of the model-driven interoperability system engineering (MDISE) framework, which capitalizes on research on enterprise interoperability.
This call welcomes papers highlighting concepts, methods, and tools focusing on the extension of model-driven approaches and principles to interoperability to build relevant and efficient collaboration between organizations.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Modelling is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
