Enhanced OSGi remote management

1. Enhanced OSGi remote management The centrepiece of an open telematics service provisioning chain Dr. H.-J. Vögel, BMW Group Forschung und Technik, hans-joerg.voegel@bmw.de

2. Outline • Telematics • An OSGi-based approach for an open telematics market • 3GT: enabling interoperability in telematics service delivery • The 3GT implementation at the Munich test site • Pushing the boundaries of OSGi Remote Management • Field trials and interoperability testing • Conclusions

3. What is Telematics? • Telcos: Teleservice as opposed to bearer service • Commonly: Telematics = Automotive Telematics • Historically: • Voice amplified by some lightweight signalling and information transfer protocol • Examples: GATS, ACP • Recently complemented by WAP and other online services • Consumer not always the immediate end-point (cf. diagnostics) • Evolving hybrid service delivery, i.e. involving both, on-board and off-board components Services delivered to the mobile user with specific focus on, or particular added value inan automobile environment.

4. What is wrong withTelematics? • First generation telematics: • Hardware-based dedicated single-service solutions • Standalone, vertically integrated units • Redundant designs, no synergies • (Almost) no standardization • Second generation telematics: • Partial standardization, especially on the signalling protocol • Services tightly coupled with information transfer protocol • Standards suffering from low acceptance and penetration • Still high degree of proprietary system solutions • Closed, embedded in-vehicle platforms While there clearly is a market for telematics, its potential remains limited due to lack of openness.

19. Conclusions • Telematics still faces considerable horizontal market challenges and OSGi is a key enabling technology to address them • OSGi Remote Management is at the core of an end-to-end service delivery chain • 3GT has defined critical interfaces to ensure interoperability: • Deployment and provisioning of Service Applications • Remote user session (login) and Service Gateway personalization • Subscription and service object management • 3GT specifications proven through extensive field trials • The 3GT Munich test site has extended the concepts with security, advanced personalization, vehicle management, and electronic payment features 3GT results and specification available to OSGito be considered for standardization.
