   abstract = {Recent research and standardization in the domain
of the Internet of Things aims at providing IPv6 andWeb services
on the most constrained devices. The constrained application
protocol (CoAP) allows to provide RESTful Web services on
limited devices by providing a protocol similar to HTTP that
uses UDP as transport layer instead of TCP. This enables more
efficient communication if non-reliable, asynchronous or group
communication is required. Existing and mature home and building
automation technologies like KNX, BACnet or ZigBee are
based on non-IP communication and define a complete custom
protocol stack. State of the art integration approaches usually
offer a centralized Web service interface based on oBIX, OPC
UA or BACnet/WS based on SOAP or RESTful Web services.
This paper presents details on the concept and implementation
of a transparent IPv6 multi-protocol gateway that closes this
integration gap by offering an IPv6 per-device interface based
on oBIX using a novel CoAP protocol binding and efficient
XML interchange encoding. This allows a seamless integration
of existing building automation devices and provides a uniform
interface for control and monitoring applications. Simple control
uses cases, out of the building automation domain, illustrate the
ease of integration gained by this approach.}
