INTRODUCTION

The evolution in the Internet of Things domain has created a complex ecosystem populated by various so-called “the Internet of Things (IoT) platforms” that provide access to a broad range of connected devices  and/or sensors “things”. These IoT platforms typically promote their specific interfaces and information models, and often adopt non-standard, sometimes fully proprietary, protocols to control a variety of things. This fragmentation and missing interoperability currently prevents the emergence of cooperative IoT ecosystems in which applications can be built so as to use things operated by various IoT platforms, or to enable things operated by different platforms to interact. The 3nd Workshop on Interoperability and Open-Source Solutions for the Internet of Things focuses on this challenge. The workshop is co-organized by the symbIoTe and BIG IoT consortiums as part of the European Platform Initiative (IoT-EPI).

The main objective of this workshop is to exchange experiences and ideas with the IoT community as well as contribute to build new knowledge around open issues and gaps on Internet of Things interoperability, architectural principles and standardization efforts.

Organized as an International scientific event, the InterOSS workshop combines two keynote talks on privacy and security and the interoperability aspects of the Internet of Things, with contributions from the participants to further advance IoT research and solution space through peer reviewer Papers. Researchers and practitioners from academy and industry will share their experiences on IoT platforms and middleware solutions. Participants can expect from InterOSS workshop to expand their understanding of IoT interoperability aspects and privacy and security issues, and to identify and discuss existing and emerging solutions, standards, enabling IoT interoperability as well as open-source initiatives.

SUBMISSION

Call for Papers
Internet of Things Interoperability resides on the principle of connecting a large number of devices to a global infrastructure to offer added value features and global services across IoT platforms. In the past years we have witnessed the consolidation of communication protocols connecting various devices and the advent of open source frameworks for IoT interoperability. Standardization initiatives, industry alliances, and collaborative research projects have developed solutions to address the challenge of IoT interoperability. Sensor, actuator, and “thing” description formats as well as communication protocols and APIs have been designed to build advanced cross-domain IoT solutions and entire ecosystems based on interoperable IoT platform technologies.

The challenges ahead are to advance interoperable IoT technologies for handling complex tasks and global interconnected systems in trendy verticals with high impact on the society, e.g. smart cities and ports, healthcare, automated manufacturing lines, connected robots, or autonomous vehicles. Open source interoperability solutions and open standards remain a viable option to automate the collaboration between otherwise closed IoT platforms with key challenges related to semantics, uniform APIs, security, privacy and trust issues, as well as technology uptake with increasing deployments.

Following the success of the previous two editions, the “3rd Workshop on Interoperability and Open-Source Solutions for the Internet of Things (InterOSS-IoT)” focuses on exploring the potential of interoperable IoT platform technology to facilitate and enhance the creation of complex systems and associated open source technology and open protocols.

The workshop addresses current challenges in the IoT domain and promotes uptake by the industry from emerging open source solutions and best practices from IoT deployment experiences. Organized as a scientific event, workshop’s objective is to foster the exchange of practical experiences within the IoT community as well as contribute to create new ideas around open issues and gaps on Internet of Things platforms interoperability, architectural principles, standardization efforts, and deployment experiences.

We invite authors to submit scientific papers reporting advance in the state of the art and practical experiences on interoperable IoT solutions, solutions relying on open-source software as well as emerging concepts and visionary papers.
