OSGi-Based Architecture for Internet of Things Gateways

OSGi has a long and successful history as technology for providing modularity and manageability in both enterprise and embedded Java systems. Its applicability especially to building gateway software makes it the technology of choice for addressing many Internet of Things requirements. This session presents an Internet of Things architecture based on OSGi and discusses the various aspects of this architecture, such as the integration of edge devices using heterogeneous protocols, the realization of complex automation logic on the gateways, and the connectivity to cloud-based service/management systems. Special attention is paid to the requirements of the underlying JVM and the applicability of the new Java SE Embedded 8 and Java ME 8.
