Enhancing residential gateways: A semantic OSGi platform


Abstract:

A semantic approach based on the Open Service Gateway initiative (OSGi) service registry that supports the application of semantic reasoning to service discovery and can help to turn OSGi service platform into a semantic OSGi platform, has been proposed. In the semantic OSGi platform, OSGi services describe their properties and capabilities to allow other software elements in the residential gateway to automatically determine their semantic discovery and how to invoke them. Such mechanism for automating service discovery and invocation is essential in ubiquitous environments such as a smart home. A semantic OSGi framework can also incorporate context-aware computing, in which a specialized software agent would be aware of the particular context and react by discovering services meeting that context.
