Abstract
This article presents an initial set of results from the IoT Lab European research project on crowdsourcing and Internet of Things (IoT). It presents the interoperability challenges faced by the project and how it solved them, in order to provide a fully integrated experimental platform for multidisciplinary research combining the potential of the Internet of Things deployment together with richer end-user interactions. It gives an overview of its multiple integrations model, including with heterogeneous IoT, heterogeneous testbeds, crowdsourcing, virtual nodes, and other testbeds federations. It highlights the use of IPv6 as a global and strategic integration enabler.
