Opposite to Internet world, things usually belong to resource-challenged environmentswhere energy, data throughput, and computing resources are scarce. Building upon existing standards in the field such as IEEE1451 and ZigBee and rooted in context semantics, this paper proposes CTP (Communication Things Protocol) as a protocol specification to allow interoperability among things with different communication standards as well as simplicity and functionality to build IoT systems. Also, this paper proposes the use of the IoT gateway as a fundamental component in IoT architectures to provide seamless connectivity and interoperability among things and connect two different worlds to build the IoT: the Things world and the Internet world. Both CTP and IoT gateway constitute a middleware content-centric architecture presented as the mechanism to achieve a balance between the intrinsic limitations of things in the physical world and what is required fromthem in the virtual world. Said middleware content-centric architecture is implemented within the frame of two European projects targeting smart environments and proving said CTP’s objectives in real scenarios. 000057872 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000057872 590__ $$a0.665$$b2014 000057872 591__ $$aTELECOMMUNICATIONS$$b58 / 77 = 0.753$$c2014$$dQ4$$eT3 000057872 591__ $$aCOMPUTER SCIENCE, INFORMATION SYSTEMS$$b106 / 139 = 0.763$$c2014$$dQ4$$eT3 000057872 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000057872 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-7396-7840$$aMarco Marco, Álvaro$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000057872 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-2286-9762$$aBlasco Marín, Rubén 000057872 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-5316-8171$$aCasas Nebra, Roberto$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000057872 7102_ $$15007$$2520$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
