A session management involves registering at least one IPTV application () in a registration table () so that the registration table () comprises at least a respective identifier of the IPTV applications (). The IPTV applications () are invokable at a set top box () and can be so-called embedded applications and/or browser-based applications. An event requiring the invocation of an IPTV application () at the set top box () is detected and triggers a look-up in the registration table (). The registration table () is, thus, used as source to indicate those IPTV applications that are potentially available and can be launched at the set top box (). One of the registered applications () and is launched for the purpose of handling the detected event.
