| Abstract | The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) opens a wide spectrum of interesting opportunities for the creation of novel scenarios. By combining communication devices such as sensors and actuators with mainstream technologies, IoT enables a whole set of new services in almost any domain to be provided, from building automation to Smart City, E-Health, and assistive technologies, to name just a few.Nevertheless, the integration of different protocols and technologies remains to date one of the main challenges in IoT. The proposed solutions have evolved following the heterogeneity increment of the technologies employed for complex scenarios, passing from ad hoc solutions on a per-connection basis (N-to-N), to solutions that use frameworks as middleware (N-to-1). N-to-1 solutions that have shown interesting features use frameworks modeled on the Publish/Subscribe (P/S) design pattern. This type of framework provides facilities to manage the exchange of communications in the presence of a large number of heterogeneous communication technologies. However, how to efficiently interface those technologies with a common framework still remains an open issue.In this work we propose to surround a P/S framework with a layer that allows us to easily interface the various communication technologies with the framework. We describe how to model this layer, and we show how to implement simple adapters that can be used to interface a technology with the selected P/S framework. We show how our approach makes the integration of heterogeneous technologies easier and how it enables scenarios' reconfigurations even at run time. By using such an approach, designers can focus on the business logic of the scenario rather than on the low-level technological details of the integration. We inform the reader about the lessons learned throughout the realization of the proposed approach and about the tasks that we found more challenging in making the final system; by doing so we intend to inculcate in the reader some questions that could lead to some interesting future research in order to address some challenges that remain open. © 2016 Elsevier Inc.
