“…A standard is framework of specification that has been approved by a recognized organization, or is generally accepted and widely used throughout by the industry [81]. Currently there are several standard bodies, consortiums and alliances trying to solve IoT standard issues including Open Interconnect Consortium (OIC) providing IoTivity 20 , AllSeen Alliance providing AllJoyn, oneM2M 21 , OMA LWM2M 22 and ETSI M2M 23 .…”

In the last few years, many smart objects found in the physical world are interconnected and communicate through the existing internet infrastructure which creates a global network infrastructure called the Internet of Things (IoT). Research has shown a substantial development of solutions for a wide range of devices and IoT platforms over the past 6-7 years. However, each solution provides its own IoT infrastructure, devices, APIs, and data formats leading to interoperability issues. Such interoperability issues are the consequence of many critical issues such as vendor lock-in, impossibility to develop IoT application exposing cross-platform, and/or cross-domain, difficulty in plugging non-interoperable IoT devices into different IoT platforms, and ultimately prevents the emergence of IoT technology at a large-scale. To enable seamless resource sharing between different IoT vendors, efforts by several academia, industry, and standardization bodies have emerged to help IoT interoperability, i.e., the ability for multiple IoT platforms from different vendors to work together. This paper performs a comprehensive survey on the state-of-the-art solutions for facilitating interoperability between different IoT platforms. Also, the key challenges in this topic is presented.

“…Thus, expanding this argument, it is possible to deduce that a complete condition of interoperability between all systems is only possible if they share a common set of specifications, at least at the level of data extract exchange. Therefore, full interoperability requires open standards and open source software [1,8].…”

“…Reusable building blocks are key enablers for interoperability that facilitate convergence and technical integration of IT solutions. Reference architectures and open source software illustrate solution development and provide a foundation for multiple organizations [18], [19], [24], [36], [49], [50]. Both strategies can be combined with standardization activities.…”

“…Open processes help to consider stakeholder concerns but they might become a burden for interoperability projects. Open specifications provide solid ground for innovation, growth and fair competition when they are built on consensus, openness and transparency [1], [49], [50].  Standardization and/or centralization: Standardization and centralization are fundamental strategies to realize PEGS.…”
