   ABSTRACT     = {Internet of Things (IoT) aims to bring connectivity to 
      almost every objects, i.e., things, found in the physical space. It 
      extends connectivity to everyday things, however, such increase in 
      the connectivity creates many prominent challenges. Context: 
      Generally, IoT opens the door for new applications for 
      machine-to-machine (M2M) and human-to-human communications. The 
      current trend of collaborating, distributed teams through the 
      Internet, mobile communications, and autonomous entities, e.g., 
      robots, is the first phase of the IoT to develop and deliver diverse 
      services and applications. However, such collaborations is threatened 
      by the fragmentation that we witness in the industry nowadays as it 
      brings difficulty to integrate the diverse technologies of the 
      various objects found in IoT systems. Diverse technologies induce 
      interoperability issues while designing and developing various 
      services and applications, hence, limiting the possibility of reusing 
      the data, more specifically, the software (including frameworks, 
      firmware, APIs, user interfaces) as well as of facing issues, like 
      security threats and bugs, when developing new services or 
      applications. Different aspects of handling data collection ranging 
      from discovering smart sensors for data collection, integrating and 
      applying reasoning on them must be available to provide 
      interoperability and flexibility to the diverse objects interacting 
      in the system. However, such approaches are bound to be challenged in 
      future IoT scenarios as they bring substantial performance 
      impairments in settings with the very large number of collaborating 
      devices and technologies. Objective: We raise the awareness of the 
      community about the lack of interoperability among technologies 
      developed for IoT and challenges that their integration poses. We 
      also provide guidelines for researchers and practitioners interested 
      in connecting IoT networks and devices to develop services and 
      applications. Method: We apply the methods advocated by the 
      Evidence-based Software Engineering paradigm (EBSE). This paradigm 
      and its core tool, the Systematic Literature Review (SLR), were 
      introduced to the sofware-engineering research community early 2004 
      to help researchers and industry systematically and objectively 
      gather and aggregate evidences about different topics. In this paper, 
      we conduct a SLR of both IoT interoperability issues and the 
      state-of-practice of IoT technologies in the industry, highlighting 
      the integration challenges related to the IoT that have significantly 
      shifted the landscape of Internet-based collaborative services and 
      applications nowadays. Results: Our SLR identifies a number of 
      studies from journals, conferences, and workshops with the highest 
      quality in the field. This SLR reports different trends, including 
      frameworks and technologies, for the IoT for better comprehension of 
      the paradigm and discusses the integration and interoperability 
      challenges across the different layers of this technology while 
      shedding light on the current IoT state-of-practice. It also 
      discusses some future research directions for the community.}
