RSP: A Remote OSGi Service Sharing Scheme

In this paper, we present RSP (remote service provider), which is a P2P-based effective service sharing scheme on distributed OSGi frameworks. RSP doesn't need to install additional software or have an additional transformation process of the service representation, because it uses only OSGi technology. In addition, RSP doesn't have any bottleneck problems, and it improves scalability by providing a service discovery mechanism using P2P. RSP can also access remote services transparently and it can guarantee reliability by sending an immediate notice about changes in the remote services.
