Interoperability assessment and improvement

Participants : César Viho, Anthony Baire, Nanxing Chen.

The Internet of Things (IoT) brings new challenges to interoperability assessment by introducing the necessity to deal with non reliable environments connecting plenty billions of objects widely distributed. Therefore, in the recent period, we propose an interoperability testing methodology using a passive approach. It appeared more suitable for this distributed, unrliable and constrained environment brought by IoT. We have also developed a tool that implements this passive method. It has been used successfully to test CoAP implementations during the two CoAP Plugtest interoperability sessions on IoT protocols (CoAP and 6LoWPAN) organized by ETSI and IPSO Alliance. These contributions are published in [10] .
