This paper illustrates the use of Self-OSGi - a novel agent toolkit built on the Open Service Gateway initiative (OSGi) to ease the construction of adaptive component & service-based software systems. Component & service orientation is a highly popular approach for building adaptive software solutions, for instance, as part of Robotic and Smart Environment applications. Component frameworks operate by posing clear boundaries (in terms of provided & required service interfaces) between components and by guiding the developers in re-using and assembling these components into applications.
