隨著OSGi在智慧家庭應用中逐漸受到歡迎，許多基於OSGi的服務也應運而生。居家照護、保全系統、家庭娛樂等服務逐一出現。使用者面對琳瑯滿目的服務開始感到複雜。為了讓使用者將不必再為了需要哪些服務以及如何啟動相關服務而煩惱，我們提出了bundle-bucket的模型。
主要概念是以情境(Scenario)為執行單位，每個bundle-bucket對應到一特定情境所需之相關服務包(Bundles)。使用者可依照需求以及所處的情境(如: 外出、娛樂、睡眠)來選擇對應的bundle-bucket，進而啟動該情境所需要的服務。此外，使用者可以順暢地在不同bundle-bucket中切換。
為此，我們設計並實作了一個修改自JamVM的Java虛擬機，名叫FS-VM。同時也提出一個負責管理及切換bundle-bucket的元件，稱為 Bundle-Bucket Manager。根據實驗結果，藉由FS-VM等相關技術的輔助，Java以及OSGi執行環境的啟動時間可獲得高達77%的改善；而切換bundle-bucket 所需之啟動時間亦有高達44.8%的效能提升。這些實驗結果顯示出，使用者可透過Bundle-Bucket Manager選擇所需之bundle-bucket，達到快速置換整個bundle-bucket以及執行環境的目的。而且置換過的系統依然穩定。

As the OSGi platforms have gradually been accepted in smart homes, more and more services and applications based on OSGi, such as home care, security systems, home entertainments have emerged. Users may be forced to face an array of services and begin to feel complicated. To relieve the penalties of having to worry about what services they need and how to start services, this thesis proposes a bundle-bucket model.
The main idea of the novel model is that users can smoothly switch between scenarios, such as out, entertainment and sleeping, by simply selecting a corresponding bundle-bucket. The selected bundle-bucket logically contains all the needed services for a particular scenario.
To this end, we design and implement a fast Start-up JVM called FS-VM, which is modified from JamVM. We also develop a component called Manger UI for managing and switching bundle-buckets. Our experimental results show that FS-VM reduces the startup time of the OSGi and the JVM up to 77 % and the startup time of bundles (or bundle-bucket) up to 44.8%. The results indicate that we achieve fast switching between bundle-buckets. In addition, the replacement (i.e., switching between bundle-buckets) is quite reliable.
