Abstract :
An implementation of the Open Service Gateway Initiative (OSGi) standard that enhances the standard and integrates many existing home protocols and home networks is presented. This enhancement extends the ideas behind the OSGi specification, allowing its direct application to real-life situations. Special emphasis is placed on realizing an effective and realistic gateway management system. The architecture presented was applied in several pilot projects
