Abstract
Practice has largely shown that interoperability problems often occur between implementations of different vendors. This paper presents the results of an experiment made at EPFL-LIT with an implementation of the CNMA profile that has been tested for interoperability with a number of commercial implementations. We present the results of the interoperability tests, propose a taxonomy of errors, compare with other interoperability tests and then discuss the lessons we have learned from this interoperability test campaign.
