InteroEvery: Microservice Based Interoperable System

Low-Code Engineering for the Internet of Things

“…InteroEvery [147] is a cloud-based development tool that promotes a micro-service-based architecture to deal with interoperability issues of the IoT domain. First, an IoT system is configured through a web-based graphical interface showing each micro-service functionalities.…”

“…The Web of Things (WoT) paradigm has brought the IoT a step closer to people's perception because it allows treating a networked thing as a Web resource [197]. We think that adopting the concept "Thing-as-a-service" [198] could provide tremendous help in addressing the interoperability issue that exists in the IoT domain [147]. In this case, all the system's sub-components will be modeled as black boxes (services), and they only communicate with well-defined mechanisms (e.g., employing REST APIs).…”

“…In this case, all the system's sub-components will be modeled as black boxes (services), and they only communicate with well-defined mechanisms (e.g., employing REST APIs). For instance, approaches such as [139,141,142,147] had taken a step toward this modeling paradigm. This section looks at what has been done so far in the IoT domain to support IoT systems' development through cloud-based modeling approaches.…”

“…The interoperability of cloud-based modeling platforms, particularly in the IoT area, is currently limited since different tools run in different environments and have different natures. A tool like [147] promotes the micro-service architecture by allowing all parts of the system to communicate with each other. Several regulations, such as standardization, will need to be implemented to achieve interoperability among different cloud-based modeling environments.…”
