Now in its third year, this year's event theme is "Convergence: Going Mobile, Driving, and Staying Home with OSGi Solutions." The OSGi Alliance is an open industry group formed in 1999 that has published three releases of its Service Platform specification to enable the delivery and management of applications and services to networked devices in mobile, vehicle, home, and other environments. The annual World Congress is an open-to-the-public conference featuring pre- and post-event workshops, exhibitions, keynote keynote /key·note/ (ke´not) in homeopathy, the characteristic property of a drug that indicates its use in treating a similar symptom of disease. presentations and breakout sessions targeted at experts and novices alike.

"The OSGi Alliance 2004 World Congress in Barcelona will be a unique opportunity to experience how the OSGi service framework is being applied and how your company can take advantage of new opportunities in mobile markets." Building on a highly successful Congress in Dusseldorf, Germany, in 2003, the OSGi Alliance recently formed a Mobile Expert Group (MEG Shorthand for "mega." For example, 10 megs means 10 megabytes.

The 2004 World Congress will provide an inside look at the work being performed within the OSGi Alliance by its members to create device middleware Software that functions as a conversion or translation layer. It is also a consolidator and integrator. Custom-programmed middleware solutions have been developed for decades to enable one application to communicate with another that either runs on a different platform or comes from a solutions for the mobile industry.
