Interoperability for IoT is a challenging problem because it requires us to tackle (i) cross-system interoperability issues at the IoT platform sides as well as relevant network functions and clouds in the edge systems and data centers and (ii) cross-layer interoperability, e.g., w.r.t. data formats, communication protocols, data delivery mechanisms, and performance. However, existing solutions are quite static w.r.t software deployment and provisioning for interoperability. Many middle-ware, services and platforms have been built and deployed as interoperability bridges but they are not dynamically provisioned and reconfigured for interoperability at runtime. Furthermore, they are often not considered together with other services as a whole in application-specific contexts. In this paper, we focus on dynamic aspects by introducing the concept of Resource Slice Interoperability Hub (rsiHub). Our approach leverages existing software artifacts and services for interoperability to create and provision dynamic resource slices, including IoT, network functions and clouds, for addressing application-specific interoperability requirements. We will present our key concepts, architectures and examples toward the realization of rsiHub.
