ABSTRACT
The IoT platforms adoption is driven by factors such as economics that add cloud services and the development of partner ecosystems. AGILE builds a modular hardware and software gateway for the IoT focusing on the physical, network communication, processing, storage and application layers. BIG IoT develops a generic, unified Web API for IoT platforms implemented. symbIoTe is providing an abstraction layer for a unified view on various IoT platforms and sensing/actuating resources. Applications can use symbIoTe Core Services implementing a semantic IoT engine to find adequate resources offered by symbIoTe-enabled platforms and subsequently access platform’s virtual resources directly for data acquisition and actuation. Interoperability of platforms is therefore more easily fostered with the creation of an ecosystem of IoT applications that can be shared between users and developers leveraging existing initiatives like the Docker container ecosystem.
