The OSGi Service Platform is a standard dynamic module system for Java. Already under adoption by most major platform vendors, OSGi is a disruptive technology that stands to transform the packaging, delivery, and management of Java applications and services. Extending the capabilities of the Java platform, OSGi supports the ability to deploy multiple versions of a module, discover new modules dynamically, and deploy modules without restarting the system. In this session, analyst Kirk Knoernschild will introduce the OSGi Service Platform, examine the current OSGI market, and explore OSGi's place in the next generation Java application platform.

Agile Architecture - Technologies and Patterns
By Kirk Knoernschild
Software architecture is not static, and architectural shifts occur throughout the course of a project. Agile architecture is defined by our willingness and ability to embrace and accommodate architectural change. In this sense, agile architecture is both temporal and structural. The temporal aspect pertains to when decisions are made, and demands that the architect be flexible. The structural aspect demands that the architecture be flexible so that the team is able to accommodate change. In other words, our willingness to embrace change must be accompanied by our ability to accommodate change. Agile architecture demands both, and the absence of one precludes the presence of the other. In this session, we examine these two aspects of agile architecture. We'll discuss the concept of architecture throughout the lifecycle, and the activities performed by an agile architect. Extensive discussion is also devoted to modularity, and how large systems can be organized to increase flexibility, reusability, maintainability, extensibility, and testability. Numerous examples illustrating modularity patterns will be shown using OSGi and Spring DM. And we'll explore the inextricable link between temporal and structural agile architecture.
