The number and diversity of IoT platforms is huge, causing an unsustainable ecosystem fragmentation. INTER-IoT proposes a solution to bridge heterogeneous IoT platforms, promoting interoperability at different abstraction layers. Modeling is a key engineering mechanism to abstract existing platforms requirements and functionalities, to capture common, reusable properties, so to realize general approaches that are capable of addressing different degrees of interoperability. Based on the significant results of the IoT-A EU funded project, INTER-IoT has therefore defined a Reference Model for IoT Platforms Interoperability, a Reference Architecture, and a complete interoperability system.

There are some significant tasks in the first stage of a project in order to achieve success when taking out a new product, a service or release a software. It is essential to know what is in the market and what the potential customers want. Therefore, during the project, we performed a market analysis regarding all the products related with IoT and we had interviews with all the involved actors in all the domains, such as developers, integrators, operators, domain users, clients, etc. Furthermore, from the previous information we define the requirements in order to determine how the system should work and what it should do. This chapter presents the process and the results of these three activities developed in the first stage of the INTER-IoT project: market analysis, stakeholders analysis, and requirements analysis. This task was done for the five different products defined in the project: INTER-LAYER, INTER-FW, INTER-METH, INTER-LogP, and INTER-Health. These tasks have been made using the VOLERE methodology, which is an excellent methodology to extract conclusions and provide results following a systematic approach.

INTER-Framework solution provides a way to homogenize the use of the interoperability layered infrastructure. By using INTER-FW, any IoT platform can be made interoperable with respect to its device, network, middleware and service layer. This tool offers a complete visual framework to configure and manage in a secure way and to develop new software applications leveraging data from multiple IoT heterogeneous platforms. It facilitates the creation of an ecosystem of interoperable and open IoT platforms. Thus, the development time of novel IoT services and applications can be shortened, and these services can be provided atop interoperable IoT platforms. It is reflected in lower development effort and economical costs for product owners, users, developers and platform integrators. The framework includes components to address several requirements like security, API management, data visualization, scalability and extensibility. INTER-FW also contains the identity and authorization mechanisms of INTER-IoT. In addition, it contains INTER-API, a gateway of the APIs from the different layers. INTER-API is managed and configured within INTER-FW using the API Manager and the Identity Server.

A main obstacle for building the emerging IoT ecosystem is the current lack of standardized infrastructure and thus interoperability, hampering IoT platforms to inter-operate among them and causing a massive proliferation of vertical silos. Since interoperability is a critical feature for the creation of IoT ecosystems, the novel open interoperability solutions provided by the H2020 INTER-IoT project can very significantly promote the creation and expansion of IoT interoperable ecosystems, especially across domains. The road towards INTER-IoT ecosystem building is described in this chapter, noting the different IoT solutions and domains already addressed.

Ports are essential nodes in the global supply chain. Usually, the port-cities experience growth and sustainability thanks to the port activities and their related stakeholders. However, it is undeniable that port operations have an impact on the environment, the city and citizens living nearby. To mitigate this impact, the ports of the future will need to count with advanced tools enabling measurement and actuation over the harmful pollution sources. Modelling the footprint and gathering information about the causes are not easy tasks, as ports are complex environments with no standard procedures established yet for these purposes. These challenges are added to another current truth: data about real-time port operations are not optimally gathered neither exploited due to, mainly, a marked lack of interoperability.

... Furthermore, discussions highlight the evolution of ports and terminals, which have entered a fifth stage of development since the 2010s marked by digital transformation and alignment with Industry 4.0 practices [6]. Other studies focus on the risks associated with port services in smart ports [6], as well as the advantages, disadvantages, and sustainability challenges within ports [7,8]. Additionally, the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) in smart ports for logistics optimization and environmental impact control has been explored [9]. ...

... The IoT demands interoperability between synergetic applications as it enables seamless data exchange, improves flexibility, reduces cost, improves innovation, and creates new services and applications to serve society effectively. Some interoperable applications are taxi reservations interacting with traffic management system [1], smart transport with logistics, ambient assisted living with body cloud, and many more [2]. ...

... For instance, SDNrelated enablers allow governing a networking infrastructure with hardware from different vendors autonomously, based on policies; the semantic suite brings processing and translation capabilities to store data and share them following specific ontologies or data models, enabling effective cooperation among IoT artifacts; also, the use of smart contracts coming from DLTrelated enablers of the next vertical, allowing metadata management and non-repudiation from different sources or systems; in self-* localization tracking, various geospatial data sources can be combined (UWB and GPS); in federated learning (FL) suite (Section 3.4.3.2), enablers provide mechanisms to run on different clients and to accommodate training data from different formats, etc. Besides, although an interoperability suite like that in [16] could have been defined, its usage would require extensive knowledge of the several available mechanisms, and, hence, implementing them as independent enablers when needed is preferred instead. ...

... In 2019, the smart port was a sustainable port that complied with environmental regulations and standards and mobilized automation technologies designed to increase productivity and safety [47]. According to Lacalle et al. [31], the smart port adopts innovative technologies that enable predictive decision making and implements tools to measure and mitigate adverse environmental impacts. Other researchers defined the smart port as a sustainable port, where operations are connected and linked through ICT mobilization, process and equipment automation, and energy resource optimization [8]. ...
