Abstract
Ubiquitous computing as the integration of sensors, smart devices, and intelligent technologies to form a “smart space” environment relies on the development of both middleware and networking technologies. Several kinds of smart space middleware have been developed and OSGi (Open Service Gateway Initiative) was initiated mainly for interoperability support with service distribution among various middleware environments. In this paper, we analyze the weaknesses in the OSGi service platform such as a non-distributed framework, passive user management, device management, and service bundle management. Moreover, we propose that in a smart space environment, Location-aware SBM (Service Bundle Manager) is most capable of efficiently managing various service bundles. This paper concludes with the implementation results for the SBM.
