With the rapid development of new technologies (e.g., the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud & edge computing, big data, and artificial intelligence), software and hardware environments have become sophisticated increasingly. These environments require hyper-connectivity among different objects (e.g., SW/HW platforms, resources, network, service, and data), and, therefore, interoperability is considered as an indispensable element of the hyper-connectivity. For instance, most of the current IoT platforms (e.g., oneM2M, Iotivity, Watson IoT, and FIWARE) are developed with its own device identification (ID) system that each IoT platform has a different resource request format for using services or resources provided by the device. Therefore, the interworking between heterogeneous IoT platforms is challenging and deserves consideration. Many kinds of research have been studied on data- (e.g., semantic or syntactic interoperability) and network-related topics (e.g., functional interworking across multi-vendor and multi-carrier), whereas quite a few interoperability researches on the resource, platform, and security. This track aims to share research results, mainly focused on interoperability issues in diverse areas (i.e., data, network, middleware, resources, service, and security in emerging technologies).
