Heterogeneous device interaction using an IPv6 enabled service-oriented architecture for buiding automation systems

In the domain of home and building automation systems the non-IP technologies are dominants, and with the advent of Internet of Things it is an interesting idea to provide the devices which use these technologies with internet connectivity. This paper shows how to satisfy this objective using a IPv6 multi-protocol gateway, where every device is mapped to an oBIX contract and the gateway is reachable through web service interfaces.
