The OSGi service platform specification is the most widely adopted solution to the technological problem of building residential gateways. As in many service-oriented architectures, a service registry supports the OSGi framework by facilitating the interaction between clients and services. However, this framework has two main drawbacks. First, service discovery is based on syntactic match making, which obliges the potential client to know the concrete interface of the service it demands. Second, service invocation assumes prior knowledge of the service signatures. Both are significant obstacles in a pervasive environment such as a smart home. A semantic OSGi platform addresses this problem through a service registry that supports applying semantic reasoning to discovery and automate invocation.
