abstract = "In this paper we introduce a cooperative environment
between the Interactive Digital TV (IDTV) and
home networking with the aim of allowing the interaction
between interactive TV applications and the controllers
of the in-home appliances in a natural way.
More specifically, our proposal consists of merging
MHP (Multimedia Home Platform), one of the main
standard frameworks for IDTV, with OSGi (Open Service
Gateway Initiative), the most widely used open
platform to set up Residential Gateways. To overcome
the radically different nature of these specifications
the function-oriented MHP middleware and the
service-oriented OSGi framework , we define a new
kind of application, coined as XbundLET. Although
this software bridge is suitable to enable the interaction
between MHP and OSGi applications in both directions,
we concretely focus on exposing our implementation
experience in only one direction: from MHP to
the OSGi world."
