Abstract

OSGi (Open Service Gateway initiative) is an emerging technology to address the missing point in the value chain to deliver services (pay-per-view TV programs, energy management, security management, etc.) to home premises. It offers an open platform and contacting point to allow service providers (cable companies, utility companies, etc.) to easily and quickly develop, download and update services to customers in a home or SOHO/ ROBO (Small Office Home Office / Remote Office Branch Office) environment. Although originally developed for purposes such as home automation, OSGi has found its power in many other situations. Recently, it has been deployed within the health industry 1 and the automotive industry. In fact, OSGi can be deployed as a general-purpose service platform on any embedded device, such as a tele­measuring utility meter or the control unit on a CNC(Computerized Numerical Control) lathe. Java Embedded Server (JES) 2.0 is one of implementation of OSGi Specification 1. This project involved of development of an X10 bundle and an SNMP bundle on top of JES. The motivation behind this project is to illustrate the power of OSGi and to become familiar with programming in the JES environment.
