INTER-Framework: An Interoperability Framework to Support IoT Platform Interoperability

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Interoperability of Heterogeneous IoT Platforms

Part of the book series: Internet of Things ((ITTCC))

  • 345 Accesses

Abstract

INTER-Framework solution provides a way to homogenize the use of the interoperability layered infrastructure. By using INTER-FW, any IoT platform can be made interoperable with respect to its device, network, middleware and service layer. This tool offers a complete visual framework to configure and manage in a secure way and to develop new software applications leveraging data from multiple IoT heterogeneous platforms. It facilitates the creation of an ecosystem of interoperable and open IoT platforms. Thus, the development time of novel IoT services and applications can be shortened, and these services can be provided atop interoperable IoT platforms. It is reflected in lower development effort and economical costs for product owners, users, developers and platform integrators. The framework includes components to address several requirements like security, API management, data visualization, scalability and extensibility. INTER-FW also contains the identity and authorization mechanisms of INTER-IoT. In addition, it contains INTER-API, a gateway of the APIs from the different layers. INTER-API is managed and configured within INTER-FW using the API Manager and the Identity Server.
