The document summarizes the SymbIoTe project, which aims to develop an interoperability framework to enable different IoT platforms to cooperate and share resources. It outlines the project's vision of enabling dynamic and hierarchical IoT environments with unified access to physical and virtualized resources across platforms. Several use cases are described to demonstrate the framework, including smart homes/offices, smart mobility routing, a smart campus, smart stadium, and smart yachting. The document invites other organizations to deploy and trial the SymbIoTe approach.
