This paper addresses a management agent for an OSGi-based healthcare application. For a distribution and administration of the OSGi-based healthcare application running on the portable information terminal, we need a management agent supporting dynamic deployment of component, control of component's life cycle, adjustment of application's configuration, deployment of user profile for personalized service and etc. To support these requirements, we define XML-based descriptor and use it as control message. We also define and use SMS-based callback URL for initiating network connection. The object of this paper is providing methodology which can distribute/manage the various applications dynamically and resolve the network connection problem while we use a private IP address in the portable information terminal. This object is implemented as a management agent and SMS-based connection initialization.
