Technology Fragmentation

Q3 2007

• OS Platforms• Symbian

• S60, UIQ, FOMA• Linux

• LiMo, LiPs, Qtopia…• Access• Win Mobile

• <v6.1, >=v6.1• RIM• Apple iPhone• Google Android• Others

9

• Application Platforms• MIDP 2• Qualcom Brew• Eclipse eRCP• Adobe Flash• Adobe AIR• Nokia Web Runtime• Yahoo Go!• Google Android• Apple iPhone• Plain old Browser Model• Coming: MIDP 3• Coming: Sun JavaFX

Technology Fragmentation, cont.

• Remote Access Protocols • OMA-CP• OMA-DM, SCOMO, FUMO• OMA-DS / Sync-ML• WAP-Push• etc.

All that combined with dimension

of versions, country specifics,operator & OEMS specifics,

etc. gives a HUGE combinationmatrix of existing runtime

platforms

10

Conclusion on the market space

• The Problem:• Broad range of advanced technical requirements• Very complex and rapidly changing eco-system• High fragmentation in available technologies • Huge diversity of different device configurations

• Challenges to Enterprises:• Selection of the right target platform(s) for their apps• Remote manageability of those platforms• Sustainability of their investments

Brief Introduction to OSGi

13

• That goes into all sorts of devices and systems …

OSGiTM is a small piece of software

OSGi

14

• which executes your services and applications• which encapsulates device and network specifics

OSGi is a manageable Framework

ApplicationC

ApplicationD

15

• The Dynamic Module System for JavaTM

• Specification developed by the OSGi Alliance• Adopted by a rapidly growing community

OSGi is a Worldwide Standard

16

Enterprise Application Servers (Oracle, BEA, Sun, …) Mobile Industry (Sprint, Nokia, IBM, …) Automotive Industry (BMW, Siemens, Delphi…) Telematics (Daimler AG, Bombardier, DB, …) Smart Home Computing (Deutsche Telekom, Siemens) Building Automation Industrial Computing Military Services & Aviation …

OSGi is getting adoped in many Verticals

17

OSGi is easy to learn and leverages developers from J2EE, J2SE and J2ME Java communities

Rapidly growing base of existing developmenttools, excelled by open source communities

The Eclipse toolchain is based on OSGi!!

Technical Review:What Mobile OSGi has to offer

19

• Component & Service model – ready for middleware• Remoting• Security model, dynamic policy model• Support for any application model• Remote manageability out of the box• Java (CDC or higher) language, JNI

• It’s a standard (in case that still matters to you…)

Key features of Mobile OSGi

Mobile OSGi process (always on)

21

• Mobile phone as part of SOA infrastructure• Distributed services between osgi container• Dupport for legacy server and clients• Discovery support• Protocol agnostic• Declarative configuration on top of the service

registry

Key feature: Remoting

22

• Security model based on Java 2• Permissions are managed through Permission-

Admin and ConditionalPermissionAdmin• Static device policy definition mapped into

dynamic model• Device policy can be changed and tailored to

the specific needs of your enterprise (providedthe operator grants you that privilige)

Key feature: Security & Policy Model

23

• OSGi ApplicationAdmin enables different app models to map apps into the service registry

• OSGi acts as “meta container” for applications and abstracts the app model specifics

• This enables:• New powerful app models can be introduced, even

post shipment• Developers can pick the model they like best• End users get seamless experience on the phone,

one front-end to all apps, regardless their types

Key feature: Multi App Model Support

24

Key feature: Multi App Model Support, cont.

• Eclipse eRCP / eSWT (one option):• Embedded version of Eclipse Rich Client Platform

(RCP) and UI Toolkit (SWT)• Apps inherit native application look and feel• Deployable to a range of devices

• Desktops, handhelds, cell phones• Support for Win32, Windows Mobile, WinCE, Nokia S60• Future support for GTK and Qte • eRCP apps can also run on RCP

• Samples available at www.eclipse.org/ercp

• In OMA-DM, all device capabilities and data points are kept in a tree like structure, the Device Management Tree (DMT).

• OSGi has defined DMTs for many functional areas: • Application life-cycle management• Log Service & Monitoring• Configuration Admin• Policy Management

• Developers can extend the DMT with their own subtree. Extensions can be deployed on the fly!

• Fine grained security concept by ACL for each tree node. Use case: operators can grant enterprises partial access to the DMT

41

• Still it can’t be run on all devices• CDC/FP=3MB + OSGi=1.2MB + Service=1.3MB = Total=5.5MB• eRCP/eSWT + simple app adds another 3MB

• It does not present a UI story by itself• App models depend on UI toolkits• UI toolkits might not be available across all platforms

• Integration of CLDC based component JSRs into CDC is a challenge

• Mobile OSGi not yet available on all platforms• Very little market penetration at the moment

but that will change soon (refer to Sprint Titan)

Does Mobile OSGi solve all your problems? No!
