ABSTRACT
The Internet of Things (IoT) will be massive and pervasive, with 50 to 100 Billion smart things and objects connected by 2020. It will impact diverse application domains, from smart cities to agriculture, from manufacturing to eHealth and energy. The concept of F-Interop is somehow to “dematerialize” the process of testing, exploiting the asset of the European FIRE research infrastructure. It aims to develop online and remote interoperability and performance test tools supporting emerging technologies from research to standardization and to market launch. The goal of F-Interop is to extend FIRE+ with online interoperability and performance test tools supporting emerging IoT-related technologies from research to standardization and to market launch for the benefit of researchers, product development by SMEs, and standardization processes. F-Interop offers a service allowing users to plug an IoT implementation and run interoperability, conformance and performance tests.
