SWAN Forum Workgroup Interoperability  Organizational: Emphasizes the pragmatic (business and policy) aspects of interoperation, especially those pertaining to the management of the network. Figure 1: The GridWise Architecture Council GWAC Stack [2]. The architecture shown above is a concept for how a complex system can be designed in order to gain full interoperability. Reality shows however, that systems are upgraded gradually and new features are added on top of legacy/proprietary systems; they are not built from scratch. Therefore, the transformation (migration) from legacy systems to interoperable, efficient smart systems will be accomplished in a step-by-step manner in the coming years. Big Data and IoT, i.e. the fusion of IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operations Technology), is having a big impact on water networks and is driving many changes to technology and policy . IoT has been boosted by the following trends, which have direct relevance to smart water applications:  Big data  Real time  Sensors spread  New communications  Event-driven architecture But the IoT paradigm will not imply the obsolescence of legacy systems rather it will merge old and new data to make the systems more interoperable and to reduce uncertainty for decision makers. It is the defined goal of this project within the SWAN WG Interoperability to list and understand currently used communication protocols. To meet this end, in this white paper we focus on communication protocols only, which are part of the technical (syntax) level. This paper is structured as follows: Firstly, the methodology for describing the existing communication architecture will be given. Secondly, currently used communication protocols are presented. Thirdly, an approach for identifying the appropriate communication protocols for smart water networks is provided from the perspective of current pra
