Semantic interoperability for IoT Platforms

International audienceRecent advances in information and communication technologies include virtualization both at the processing and the communication levels as well as interoperability at the different interaction levels. The progress in networking encompasses Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications for Internet of Things and Big Data traffic that constitute active research and standardization activities in Europe by ETSI, and around the world by OneM2M. The design and deployment of interoperable IoT platforms based on open systems and interfaces are identified as enablers for the digital market. The strategic application domains include e-heath, connected and automated vehicles, advanced dynamic manufacturing, energy management and smart homes, buildings and cities. IoT Systems provide advantages in all these various domains. This fast-growing ecosystem is leading IoT towards a promising future. However, IoT systems expansion opportunities are not straightforward. A set of challenges should be overcome to enable IoT mass-scale deployment across various domains including interoperability, autonomy, and scalability issues. This talk aims at giving an overview of these challenges. Recent international standardization and R&D initiatives will be investigated. Future directions will be highlighted
