We build up local, time translation covariant Boundary Quantum Field Theory nets of von Neumann algebras $${\mathcal A_V}$$ on the Minkowski half-plane M+ starting with a local conformal net $${\mathcal A}$$ of von Neumann algebras on $${\mathbb R}$$ and an element V of a unitary semigroup $${\mathcal E(\mathcal A)}$$ associated with $${\mathcal A}$$. The case V = 1 reduces to the net $${\mathcal A_+}$$ considered by Rehren and one of the authors; if the vacuum character of $${\mathcal A}$$ is…

It is shown that renormalization of the boundary couplings makes both the world-sheet partition function and the string fieldaction finite and cutoff independent, although the resulting string field action has an unpalatable dependence on the leading unrenormalizable coupling.
