Description ai CLA 2007-06-04 19:28:11 EDT 
The Open Services Gateway Initiative (OSGi) defines an open service platform standard for service
delivery, composition and execution in networked environments. The current OSGi application model is
limited to a single Java Virtual Machine; it does not support the distribution of services across OSGi
frameworks and devices. The OSGi Enterprise Experts Group (EEG) recently identified a number of
desired extensions to the OSGi application model including a distribution extension but has not yet
defined a specification for such extensions. This paper clarifies and defines a terminology for OSGi
distribution. It then proposes the publish-subscribe interaction model as basis for OSGi distribution
extensions. The paper describes the D-OSGi bundle which uses the publish-subscribe communication
paradigm for supporting the OSGi platform with mobility and distribution of services. The paper
concludes with a specification outline for OSGi distribution extensions.

 I don't believe that this paper is appropriate content for Eclipse Corner. Eclipse Corner is for articles featuring Eclipse-specific content.
