The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT), coupled with other capabilities such as Cloud Computing and many others, creates opportunities for the development of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) at the scale of a digital business ecosystem. It will impact the way engineers work when designing, developing, deploying, operating, or maintaining complex systems-of-systems, with increasing needs concerning security, agility, and interoperability. The Federated Interoperability Framework (FIF) has been developed for Aeronautic Space and Defence over the last years to prepare and build continuous operational Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) interoperability. This paper aims at illustrating, defining, and demonstrating the required evolutionary nature of the FIF from its genesis, by describing past, last, and future evolutions, in particular for the PLM Standards testbed, Virtual manufacturing and CPS. Then Evolvability is defined and discussed, and the provided presentation of the FIF evolutions used to demonstrate its evolutionary nature, making the FIF contributing to the State of the Art and the State of the Practice.

物联网（IoT）的出现，再加上云计算等其他功能，为数字业务生态系统规模的网络物理系统（CPS）的开发创造了机会。随着对安全性，敏捷性和互操作性的需求不断增加，这将影响工程师在设计，开发，部署，操作或维护复杂的系统系统时的工作方式。联邦互操作性框架（FIF）在过去的几年中为航空航天和国防开发，旨在准备和建立持续的产品生命周期管理（PLM）互操作性。本文旨在通过描述过去，最后和将来的演变来说明，定义和演示FIF的起源所要求的进化性质，特别是对于PLM标准测试平台，虚拟制造和CPS。然后定义和讨论了可进化性，并提供了FIF演变的演示文稿，以证明其进化性质，从而使FIF成为最新技术水平和实践水平的贡献。
