Various Extensions for the Ambient OSGi Framework

In the last few years, the amount of smart devices in domestic environments has incredibly increased. Nowadays, a smart home is usually managed via a gateway offering valueadded applications by connecting devices to the cloud. Every new device comes with its own features and protocols or cloud services. There is, consequently, a strong need for constantly modifying the gateway's behavior by deploying, removing or updating applications. However, there is no software architecture ensuring enough flexibility and trust to sustain this need. We consequently propose in this article a framework that allows to easily compose modular and context-aware software architectures intending to host third-party applications. This frameworkcalled AOLOA (Another OSGi-Like On Another)-is based on OSGi and Java permissions. It ensures applications isolation, separates business-logic (higher level) and platform (lower level) layers and allows their trusted management.

Multi-robots systems require dedicated tools and models for their design and the deployment. Our approach proposes service-oriented architecture that can simplify the development and deployment. In order to solve the problem of neighbors and service discovery in an ad-hoc network, the fleet robot needs a protocol that is able to constantly discover new robots in its coverage area. To this end we propose a robotic middleware, SDfR, that is able to provide service discovery. This protocol is an extension of the Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) used in Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) to dynamic networks generated by the mobility of the robots. Even if SDfR is platform independent, we propose a ROS (ROS, 2014) integration in order to facilitate the usage. We evaluate a series of overhead benchmarking across static and dynamic scenarios. We also present some use-cases where our proposal was successfully tested.
