A component-oriented framework for experimental computer graphics

This paper provides a report about a framework that uses a variety of standards. Readers interested in 3D computer graphics or component-oriented technology in C++ will find a report about the integration of various standards by relying on yet another standard for component-oriented software engineering. The highly successful Java standard called Open Services Gateway initiative (OSGi) is employed in a C++ implementation called Open Service Platform.The application of this standard, which is primarily focused on network-centric software and embedded systems, in the field of real-time 3D computer graphics, provides novel insights into the usability of the OSGi standard.

► Report about a framework with a strong focus on using standard solutions.
► Component-oriented technology in C++ used for computer graphics.
► Java standard OSGi exploited in a C++ implementation called Open Service Platform.
► Shows the benefits of a sound component standard in real-time 3D computer graphics.
► Novel insights into the general application of the OSGi standard.
