Abstract:
The Internet of Things (ΙοΤ) is a concept that describes the connection of various devices with built-in sensors and communication equipment to achieve the collection and transmission of data in a network. IoT devices are increasing with geometric progress, and ensuring interoperability and handling of the enormous heterogeneous data generated is of major importance for the creation of intelligent applications and services. This paper presents the state of art and current solutions on the issues of interoperability in the IoT domain, as well as the challenges and open issues. Finally, a discussion is provided on what future research should focus on and solutions are outlined to achieve interoperability in IoT systems that can lead to a “Social Network” of Things
