INTER-IoT Architecture for Platform Interoperability

The number and diversity of IoT platforms is huge, causing an unsustainable ecosystem fragmentation. INTER-IoT proposes a solution to bridge heterogeneous IoT platforms, promoting interoperability at different abstraction layers. Modeling is a key engineering mechanism to abstract existing platforms requirements and functionalities, to capture common, reusable properties, so to realize general approaches that are capable of addressing different degrees of interoperability. Based on the significant results of the IoT-A EU funded project, INTER-IoT has therefore defined a Reference Model for IoT Platforms Interoperability, a Reference Architecture, and a complete interoperability system.
