在过去几年中，物理世界中的许多智能物体通过现有的互联网基础设施相互连接和通信，这创造了一个被称为物联网（IoT）的全球网络基础设施。研究表明，在过去的6 - 7年中，针对各种各样的设备和物联网平台的解决方案有了大幅发展。然而，每个解决方案都提供自己的物联网基础设施、设备、应用程序编程接口（API）和数据格式，从而导致互操作性问题。这种互操作性问题是许多关键问题的结果，例如供应商锁定、无法开发跨平台和/或跨领域的物联网应用、将不具有互操作性的物联网设备接入不同物联网平台存在困难，并最终阻碍了物联网技术的大规模出现。为了实现不同物联网供应商之间的无缝资源共享，学术界、工业界和标准化机构已经做出努力来帮助实现物联网的互操作性，即不同供应商的多个物联网平台协同工作的能力。本文对促进不同物联网平台之间互操作性的现有解决方案进行了全面综述。此外，还介绍了该主题中的关键挑战。
In the last few years, many smart objects found in the physical world are interconnected and communicate through the existing internet infrastructure which creates a global network infrastructure called the Internet of Things (IoT). Research has shown a substantial development of solutions for a wide range of devices and IoT platforms over the past 6-7 years. However, each solution provides its own IoT infrastructure, devices, APIs, and data formats leading to interoperability issues. Such interoperability issues are the consequence of many critical issues such as vendor lock-in, impossibility to develop IoT application exposing cross-platform, and/or cross-domain, difficulty in plugging non-interoperable IoT devices into different IoT platforms, and ultimately prevents the emergence of IoT technology at a large-scale. To enable seamless resource sharing between different IoT vendors, efforts by several academia, industry, and standardization bodies have emerged to help IoT interoperability, i.e., the ability for multiple IoT platforms from different vendors to work together. This paper performs a comprehensive survey on the state-of-the-art solutions for facilitating interoperability between different IoT platforms. Also, the key challenges in this topic is presented.
