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. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 0.665 2014 TELECOMMUNICATIONS 58 / 77 = 0.753 2014 Q4 T3 COMPUTER SCIENCE, INFORMATION SYSTEMS 106 / 139 = 0.763 2014 Q4 T3 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion (orcid)0000-0002-7396-7840 Marco Marco, Álvaro Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-2286-9762 Blasco Marín, Rubén (orcid)0000-0001-5316-8171 Casas Nebra, Roberto Universidad de Zaragoza 5007 520 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
