9. Real-Time Systems Lab. Markets for OSG Residential Gateway Communication Services Energy Services Home Automation Services Security Services Remote Home Healthcare Services

10. Real-Time Systems Lab. OSGi End to End Architecture 1/2 OSGi spec. creates an open standard for programmable user-premises equipment –Downloading of software, application lifecycle management, gateway security, attached device access, resource management, and functions necessary for remote administration of the gateway Major components –Service gateway –Service Provider –Service aggregator –Gateway operator –Wide area network and carrier(ISP) –Local networks and devices

11. Real-Time Systems Lab. OSGi End to End Architecture 2/2

12. Real-Time Systems Lab. Services Gateway 1/2 Java environment: Service framework: defines API for creating and running services Services –Basic services Device access manager: defines API for accessing devices Log service: defines a required service for logging information

13. Real-Time Systems Lab. Services Gateway 2/2 –Optional services HTTP service: defines a service API for an HTTP-based web server Client access service: defines a service API for publishing information Configuration data service: defines a service for managing configuration information Persistent data service: defines a service API for persistent data

14. Real-Time Systems Lab. Service Framework Manage installation, Uninstallation, Update, Start, Stop of bundle, and dependencies between bundles and services Provide a concise and consistent programming model Presented as a bundle (System bundle)

15. Real-Time Systems Lab. Bundle Comprise Java classes and other resources for service BundleActivator class: start, stop

16. Real-Time Systems Lab. Services Generic services Device services Driver services

17. Real-Time Systems Lab. Generic Service Service interface: spec. of the service’s public methods Service object: Implementation of one or more service interfaces Registered(in start method) and unregistered(in stop method) at Framework Service Registry Using sequence Get service reference  get service object  interface using service interface

18. Real-Time Systems Lab. Device Service and Driver Service 1/6 Present physical device access methods Device service –Logical device –Belong to a defined device category Device interface Information to support Device Service Registration, Attachment Driver service –Connect between devices (physical and logical, logical and logical)
