An Evaluation of an Osgi-based Residential Pervasive Computing Platform
نویسندگان
چکیده
Residential applications including home control, alarm systems, and monitoring services is an area in which pervasive computing systems are currently emerging. One problem facing technology and service providers is getting a view on and analysis of technological and commercial problems and opportunities. As a step towards that, we present an analysis and evaluation of a widely-used setup for residential pervasive computing applications, viz., a setup based on a residential gateway with an Open Services Gateway Initiative (OSGi) implementation. The analysis is anchored in use, through scenarios and prototyping, and employs architectural, security, and business perspectives. Furthermore, we present challenges to be met to enhance technological and commercial opportunities for this platform.

Towards Reliable OSGi Operating Framework and Applications
Upcoming ubiquitous computing systems are required to operate in dynamic, diverse, unverified, and unpredictable operating environment. The OSGi (Open Service Gateway initiative) framework employs the service-oriented approach and the Java ClassLoader architecture for the runtime service deployment, that are well suited to the dynamic environment envisioned for home networking and ubiquitous co...
متن کاملContext-aware personalization services for a residential gateway based on the OSGi platform
Ideally, smart homes should make its inhabitants’ lives more comfortable by anticipating their needs and satisfying their preferences. With this aim, we introduce an approach for context-aware personalized smart homes based on two main pillars: the Open Service Gateway Initiative (OSGi) platform and the Semantic Web philosophy. By combining both fields, we enrich the OSGi service-oriented archi...
متن کاملEnabling Smart Spaces with OSGi
T oday's pervasive computing spaces are developed primarily with proprietary technology and seem to lack a long-term vision of evolution and inter-operation. The future pervasive computing environment will comprise a wide variety of devices and services from different manufacturers and developers. We must therefore achieve platform and vendor independence as well as architecture openness before...
متن کاملA context-sensitive dynamic role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Resources and services are accessible in pervasive computing environments from anywhere and at any time. Also, due to ever-changing nature of such environments, the identity of users is unknown. However, users must be able to access the required resources based on their contexts. These and other similar complexities necessitate dynamic and context-aware access control models for such environmen...
متن کاملApplying Software Factories to Pervasive Systems: A Platform Specific Framework
The raise of the number and complexity of pervasive systems is a fact. This kind of systems involves the integration of physical devices and software components in order to provide services to the inhabitants of an environment. Current techniques for developing pervasive systems provide low-level abstraction primitives which makes difficult the construction of large systems. Software Factories ...
