Enabling OPC UA and oneM2M Interworking

Industry 4.0 features the application of modern Information & Communication Technology concepts in industrial contexts to create more flexible and innovative products and services leading to new added-value business models. Realization of this fourth industrial revolution may be achieved only if enough effort is invested to introduce interoperability between industrial applications. For this reason, current literature presents a lot of proposals aimed to improve interoperability between reference communication standards of Industry 4.0. Among them, several research activities aim to reach this goal by proposing interworking solutions between standard communication systems. Although OPC UA and oneM2M play very important roles inside Industry 4.0, interworking between them is not available at this moment. For this reason, the paper aims to propose a novel solution towards OPC UA and oneM2M interworking.
