Objective

This first Open Call will aim to attract owners of Cloud-based IoT platforms that are interested in becoming part of the symbIoTe ecosystem. This involves opening up interfaces (APIs) for advertising and offering IoT resources. Furthermore, the platform must integrate a symbIoTe middleware that will run in the Cloud, interacting with the Cloud-based part of the IoT Platform.

This interaction will enable semantic interoperability and open access to virtualized IoT resources (chosen by the platform and made discoverable via the symbIoTe Core Services). The access to those devices will stay under the control of the platform provider while being enabled through the respective interface. In addition to open access, symbIoTe also supports authenticated and authorized access to IoT resources.
