DR-OSGi: Hardening Distributed Components with Network Volatility Resiliency

http://people.cs.vt.edu/~tilevich/papers/DR-OSGI.pdf

• A clear exposition of the challenges of treating the ability to cope with
  network volatility as a separate concern that can be expressed modularly.
• An approach for hardening distributed component applications with re-
  siliency against network volatility.
• A proof of concept infrastructure implementation|DR-OSGi|which demon-
  strates how existing distributed component applications can be hardened
  against network volatility.

They use R-OSGi as the base for their system and protect against network volatility.
