Abstract: Pervasive systems modelling is emerging as an important class of applications. Such systems have to adapt their deployed architecture regarding to continuous changes in everyday user's requirements. This leads to own a modelling solution that aims at a specific platform to describe the deployment and its dynamic evolving management to meet such requirements. Therefore, we propose in this paper a modelling solution through a model-transformation process addressing the deployment and its dynamic management over the Open Service Gateway Initiative (OSGi) framework. The proposed solution is validated through a pervasive case study: 'Follow Me'.

Keywords: distributed deployment description; deployment management; model transformation; distributed SOA; service oriented architecture; ADL; MDA; SCA; xADL; OSGi; open service gateway initiative; pervasive systems modelling.
