Using Non-Java OSGi Services for Mobile Applications ∗

OSGi is a popular software engineering approach for build-ing complex software systems out of reusable Java modules. The OSGi framework describes an infrastructure for man-aging the modules at runtime and composing loosely-couples applications through services. With R-OSGi, we have ex-tended the scope of OSGi from single applications to net-works of applications consisting of distributed services. How-ever, the OSGi model is entirely Java-centric and not triv-ially transferable to other languages, without losing general-ity and interoperability. In this demonstration, we show an application which uses OSGi services written in languages like TinyOS
