A Service-Aware Home Networking System Based on OSGi

In this paper, we propose an OSGi-based service aware home networking system (SAHN), which coordinates the integrated heterogeneity of Internet interfaces and provides the service information exchange between mobile appliances of home networking and Internet service providers. The SAHN system further assists users to discover the home networking services via the Internet and to execute the chosen service by the proposed S-PnP mechanism. The S-PnP mechanism lets users use services from the Internet immediately. S-PnP mechanism can shorten the service activation time by processing the automatic service plug-and-play procedure and accomplishes services discovery mechanism efficiently with flexibility and extensibility in the universal operation environment.
