N1 - Funding Information:
To address this fact, the authors of this paper tackle the research project named “Fed4IoT [7]” which is a Research and Innovation Action jointly funded by the European Commission and Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC). Fed4IoT aims at realizing the federation of IoT and cloud infrastructures to provide scalable and interoperable smart city applications. Fed4IoT project will not standardize a brand new IoT platform itself but reuse the concepts of IoT platforms and virtually integrate the cross-domain IoT platforms by adapting the concepts of visualization technologies, such as computer virtualization and network virtualization.
Funding Information:
The research leading to these results has been supported by the EU-JAPAN initiative by Horizon the EC Horizon 2020 Work Programme (2018-2020) Grant Agreement Horizon814918 and MIC Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications “Strategic Information and Communications R&D Promotion Programme (SCOPE)” Grant no. MICJPJ000595 “Federating IoT and cloud infrastructures to provide scalable and interoperable Smart Cities applications, by introducing novel IoT virtualization technologies (Fed4IoT).”

N2 - In order to provide interoperability of cross-domain IoT applications involving different IoT platforms, the authors previously proposed a virtual IoT system called VirIoT. The proposed system is composed of two functionalities: ThingVisor and vSilo, and it aims at decoupling IoT device providers and IoT application developers. ThingVisor enables to produce virtual IoT devices, or Virtual Things, from physical IoT devices for sharing the physical devices among cross-domain IoT applications. In addition, vSilo enables to bridge between such Virtual Things and IoT applications for the interoperability of cross-domain IoT devices. In this paper, in order to enhance the VirIoT system, we propose ThingVisor Factory that helps to design ThingVisors in a user-friendly way and deploy them on demand autonomously by following container orchestration methodologies, such as Kubernetes. ThingVisor Factory is based on two concepts: Dataflow programming-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) and service function chaining-based ThingVisor development.
