Abstract

The open services gateway initiative (OSGi) is widely applied in home network. However, the deployment and utility of OSGi services are performed in a centralized fashion, which means services published in a local framework are unavailable for other remote frameworks and vice versa. To solve this problem, Jini, a light-weight Java technology for embedded system, is employed within the OSGi frameworks. With the LookUp service of Jini, a remote service in another OSGi framework can be discovered and its object can be obtained through RMI communication. This solution takes the complementary advantages of OSGi specification and Jini mechanism and help to form a consummate architecture of the services management and utility in a home network.
