  1. OSGi versus UPnP??? • There is no "versus" here. OSGi is fully complimentary to UPnP. No overlap. • UPnP = set of protocols to discover and communicate with networked devices • UPnP Implementations could use OSGi as execution environment like they could use Windows, Linux or QNX operating systems • OSGi = environment for Java programs to execute in a well defined and managed environment • OSGi implementations could use UPnP (or Jini, or SLP, or Salutation) to discover and use networked devices

  2. What problem solves OSGi? • The problem of deploying many, independent programs in very large distributed systems • For that purpose, it defines: • An operating environment for programs • Format for downloadable code • A means to discover other programs • Standardizing program interfaces to allow reuse • Life cycle management of downloadable programs

  3. What problem solves UPnP? • Distributed control by humans of networked devices that can come and go dynamically • For that purpose, it defines protocols: • Discovery of devices on a local network • A notification mechanism with publish/subscribe • And a language • A formal language that defines the actions and variables of a device

  4. Comparison on details • OSGi • Java • Executing code • Behavior (Code) • Program-Program oriented • Standardizing Java interfaces • Service is local and fast • UPnP • XML DTD • Communications • Declarative • User oriented • Standardizing XML templates • Service is remote and slow to execute

  5. Behavior, programs! Declaration only!
