Konferencija Javantura Zagreb 2014 by HUJAK Izgradnja otvorene i besplatne EU platforme za razvoj ICT usluga za starije osobe by Andrej Grgurić U siječnju 2014., nakon četiri godine intenzivnog rada europski istraživački projekt universAAL (www.universaal.org), sufinanciran od strane Europske Unije, uspješno je priveden kraju. Glavni rezultat projekta je, uz otvorene alate (pretezno razvijene u obliku otvorenih Eclipse plug-inova), besplatna i otvorena (ASL2.0) platforma, bazirana na OSGi tehnologiji, koja olakšava tehničku implementaciju i djeluje kao otvoren i zajednički temelj za programere.

17. AAL Studio: Dashboard

Role
 streamlines the process of developing universAAL applications, services and
components.

Benefits
 helps developers get an overview of the process, and help guide them through it
 ensures that developers have access to all the relevant components through a simple
interface

19. Technology platform: OSGi

Implements a complete and dynamic component model
 Components are not coupled to other components

Service oriented
Continuous operation – no need to restart the platform

Apache Felix

 https://felix.apache.org/

Apache Karaf
 http://karaf.apache.org/

20. Benefits of Using the OSGi Service Platform




Components are smaller
 Easier to make
Components are not coupled to other components
 Gives reusability
Excellent model for the myriad of customizations and
variation that are required of today’s devices
Collaborative model
 Allows reuse of other components for most problems

22. Maven - Automated Build Tool
Apache Maven: http://maven.apache.org/
 Project Object Model (pom.xml)
 Makes the build process easy and uniform
 Simplifies dependency resolution.

 You only have to declare the dependencies
• Maven will download them, setup the classpath for you, and even
deploy the dependencies with your application if required.
 Maven manages not only the direct dependencies for you but even the dependencies of the dependecies (transitive
dependencies).

25. Integration testing

Spring Dynamic Modules project provides a test class
hierarchy (based on
org.springframework.osgi.test.AbstractOsgiTests) that
provides support for writing regular JUnit test cases that are
then automatically executed in an OSGi environment
