Abstract:
The systematic literature review regarding the 2. Repeatable Process:
OSGi framework is done in this paper.
Specifically, the security issues/challenges and At first the initial questions are set which are
their solutions have been reviewed. This systematic revised and refined to make more specific and
review has been made to take into account the important research questions and after that the
research about the security challenges to the OSGi detailed discussion the final research questions

by the researchers.
2.1 Initial questions for research:
1. Introduction to OSGi What is OSGi framework?
It„s a dynamic module system for Java™ platform What are specifications of OSGi

instead of developing new applications. That‟s review the research already done in the field of
why, this also reduces the costs of maintenance. OSGi framework from 2000 to 2008. The
overview of the OSGi framework will be
presented by this systematic review. It will
provide the current level of the research done
in OSGi framework.
