maryam tooba, Muhammad Aslam, A. M. Martínez-Enríquez · 2018
Internet of Things gives an image of future where physical and virtual things can be connected with each through internet and can talk with each other without human intervention. The characteristic of IoT to connect anything, anywhere and anytime enables an ultra large number of devices, things and networks with high level of heterogeneity to connect with each other. This introduces interoperability issue among heterogeneous devices in IoT ecosystem. In this paper, we proposed a solution, Smart System for device Interoperability in Internet of Things, to interconnect devices in an IoT ecosystem. It acts as a central element allowing the heterogeneous devices to communicate through it regardless of difference in their protocols and other communicating technologies. Detailed architecture of the proposed system is presented and each component is discussed in detail. Our proof of concept is presented through a real life case study from health and fitness domain.
