Building the Environment for Things as a Service (BETaaS) is a novel platform for the deployment and execution of contentcentric Machine-to-Machine (M2M) applications, which relies on a local cloud of gateways. BETaaS platform provides a uniform interface and services to map content with things in a context-aware manner. Deployment of services for the execution of applications is dynamic and takes into account the computational resources of the low-end physical devicesused. To this aim, BETaaS platform is based on a suitable defined Internet of Things (IoT) model, allowing the integration of the BETaaS components within the future Internet environment. In this paper we present the BETaaS concept, the high level platform architecture and application scenarios that extend the state-of-the-art in M2M communications and open the horizonfor future M2M marketplaces.
