AWAP Information Page : The provider part
Presentation
The aim of the AWAP project is to implement an intelligent Wireless antenna, that is an antenna that can be remote controlled.By control, we mean 2 activities : supervision and configuration. Supervision should allow to get information of type who, what and when, in order to monitor the network and to be able to react if necesary. Configuration should allow filtering, security and identification functionalities.
The first task was to choose an environment of services for the execution of the different functions. The OSGi platform (http://www.osgi.org) has been chosen because it enables the deployment of java-oriented services and because it supplies different standard functionalities (web access, log service...).
As OSGi is just a specification, we use Oscar (http://oscar-osgi.sourceforge.net), that is a free implementation of this platform.
The AWAP project started with the implementation of the devices management, that is described in the OSGi specification in chapter 8 pages 147-176. This is an open-source implementation of this specification made on top of oscar. The implementation can be downloaded at http://citi.insa-lyon.fr/~sfrenot/devel/awap/.
The first application that have been implemented is the managment of the PCMCIA bus with a Wireless card.
