Dynamic Deployment with OSGi
Handling the dynamics of rapid changes combined with the capability to deliver functionality to end users or connected devices is a big challenge.

Deployment strategies targeting different devices, from phones to cloud nodes, are discussed and demonstrated based on open source solutions.
