Abstract

Cloud platforms have evolved over the last years as means to provide value-added services for Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructures, particularly smart home applications. From different use cases the necessity arises to connect IoT cloud solutions of different vendors. While some established platforms support an integration of other vendors’ systems into their own infrastructure, solutions to federate IoT cloud platforms can hardly be found. In this paper, we analyze existing IoT cloud platforms with respect to their similarities and derive a concept of an Intercloud Broker (IB) that enables the establishment of an IoT Intercloud to support interoperability of cloud-based IoT platforms from different vendors. To demonstrate the feasibility of our approach we evaluated the overhead introduced by the Intercloud Broker. As the results show, the IB can be implemented with minimal overhead in terms of throughput and delay even on commodity hardware.
