OSGi Community Event 2013 (http://www.osgi.org/CommunityEvent2013/Schedule) ABSTRACT This talk will present a platform designed for application development to serve the new markets enabled by the Internet of Things, with a particular focus on Home Automation, Smart Energy, and e-health. It will provide the reasons why OSGi has been chosen and show how the platform works. The Internet of things is the next revolutionary wave following profound changes brought to us by Personal Computers (connecting places) and Mobile Phones (connecting people on the go). This third wave heralds the beginning of the new era of pervasive connectivity, embedded intelligence, and application convergence. It will be the world where smart things will communicate among themselves and with us, enabling a more efficient, and more comfortable environment. Designed to jumpstart application development, the STMicroelectronics Smart Home Platform is composed of a gateway in production-ready form factor and a set of sensor/actuator nodes, along with a Java Virtual Machine, ProSyst's OSGi framework and a working demonstration application fully supported by STMicroelectronics. The built-in OSGi stack provides Java-level abstraction of the network interfaces of the gateway and its nodes as well as cloud integration features such as a web server, web services and standards-based remote management. The OSGi framework is the key enabler of the product lifecycle and remote application management mandatory for service provider driven deployments. The JAVA/OSGi software abstraction layer provides zero-effort portability across the all STMicroelectronics' CPUs enabling the developers to select an SoC based on application and/or interface convergence requirements. Successful demonstrations of the same home automation software built on this platform have been already made on an entry-level gateway (based on ARM926) as well as a high-end multimedia gateway (Dual-Cortex A9 multimedia processor). SPEAKER BIO Luca Celetto is a Software Design Manager in STMicroelectronics, Italy, where he manages a team of R&D employees and consultants that provides innovative solutions for embedded software development on the company products. In the last two years of activity, he worked on OSGi solutions for the company cross-divisional project on Internet of Things that is the object of this presentation. The project aims at providing an ecosystem of reference hardware and software for gateways connecting the company hardware sensors and actuators.

19. BGD JSON App bundle overview (2/2)
The BGD JSON App bundle registers a servlet with alias /bgd-app.
The user can perform the following operations on the remote BGD:
Engage/ Switch off the BGD
Set operative mode:
streaming (real time display of vital data)
monitor
Load monitored vital data (offline display of vital data)
The operations are generated by means of JSON-RPC according to
the methods exposed by the BGD Service.
Vital data monitored by the BGD are sent from the SHG to the BGD
JSON App via websocket.
Vital data are plotted by means of flot jquery.
