Challenges in building service-oriented applications for OSGi
R.S. Hall, Humberto Cervantes · IEEE Communications Magazine · 2004
The OSGi Alliance defines and promotes open specifications for the delivery of managed services into networked environments of embedded devices. A key element of this initiative is the OSGi framework, which is a lightweight framework for deploying and executing service-oriented applications. The service-oriented approach is well suited to the dynamic environment envisioned for services gateways, but it creates unique challenges for application developers.
