OSGi Alliance

The OSGi [Open Services Gateway Initiative] Alliance is a worldwide consortium of technology innovators that strive to advances a proven and mature process to create open specifications that enable the modular assembly of software built with Java technology.

The OSGi technology facilitates the componentization of software modules and applications and assures remote management and interoperability of applications and services over a broad variety of devices. Building systems from in-house and off-the-shelf OSGi modules increases development productivity and makes them much easier to modify and evolve.

The alliance provides specifications, reference implementations, test suites and certification to foster a valuable cross-industry ecosystem.
