  • A Survey of Open Source Products for Building a SIP Communication Platform
    Hindawi Publishing Corporation Advances in Multimedia Volume 2011, Article ID 372591, 21 pages doi:10.1155/2011/372591 Research Article A Survey of Open Source Products for Building a SIP Communication Platform Pavel Segec and Tatiana Kovacikova Department of InfoCom Networks, University of Zilina, Univerzitna 8215/1, 010 26 Zilina, Slovakia Correspondence should be addressed to Tatiana Kovacikova, [email protected] Received 29 July 2011; Revised 31 October 2011; Accepted 15 November 2011 Academic Editor: T. Turletti Copyright © 2011 P. Segec and T. Kovacikova. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a multimedia signalling protocol that has evolved into a widely adopted communication standard. The integration of SIP into existing IP networks has fostered IP networks becoming a convergence platform for both real- time and non-real-time multimedia communications. This converged platform integrates data, voice, video, presence, messaging, and conference services into a single network that offers new communication experiences for users. The open source community has contributed to SIP adoption through the development of open source software for both SIP clients and servers. In this paper, we provide a survey on open SIP systems that can be built using publically available software. We identify SIP features for service deve- lopment and programming, services and applications of a SIP-converged platform, and the most important technologies support- ing SIP functionalities. We propose an advanced converged IP communication platform that uses SIP for service delivery.

    Implementing Reliable Instant Messaging at Your Library Karen McCoy Adult Services Librarian Farmington Public Library, NM Some background… More libraries are communicating with patrons in real time over the internet “Online real-time chat reference services have become increasingly prevalent in many types and sizes of libraries” (1). BUT… “Because no IM technology standard has been approved by all the major players, IM has long been problematic to libraries… but newer IM products can help resolve these dilemmas.”(2). 1.

Chat Software: fee-based, usually only used in businesses and libraries (usually part of a consortium to reduce cost) also referred to as “virtual reference” or “chat reference.” Instant Messaging: FREE to libraries and patrons, more often used by people in their daily lives, generally not platform dependent (1), more compatible in a Web 2.0 environment A recent trend in reference service seems to be a move from use of chat reference software to use of IM (2). 1.

    POST LIST INFORMASIETEGNOLOGIE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LINUX UBUNTU OR WINDOWS? In this article we will look at a few of the common differences between Ubuntu and windows 8. Firstly with any software package before making decisions most people will look at what it would cost me as user to purchase it. With windows 8 you are looking at a retail price of R800 upwards, but of course as a student of Stellenbosch University, it can be purchased for a mere R180-00 from the Student IT Centre. However with Ubuntu, it’s completely free! Now let’s have a look at how they differ at first glance, Ubuntu brings their Unity look to the platform whereas Windows 8 brings there new metro look to theirs. Ubuntu is also a fairly light weight operating system compared to Windows 8 which takes up 16 to 20 GB of hard drive space compared to Ubuntu’s 4.5GB.

  • Instant Messaging Will Get Tor Treatment in TIMB 3 March 2014, by Nancy Owano
    Instant messaging will get Tor treatment in TIMB 3 March 2014, by Nancy Owano "The idea is similar to using a twisty, hard-to-follow route in order to throw off somebody who is tailing you—and then periodically erasing your footprints," according to the Tor project. "Instead of taking a direct route from source to destination, data packets on the Tor network take a random pathway through several relays that cover your tracks so no observer at any single point can tell where the data came from or where it's going." Tor has a staff of developers, researchers, and advocates, and volunteers. The Tor messenger will be built on the ad-free, open source software messaging service, Instantbird. That service was, in the open source spirit, developed with the view that there ought to be a solid alternative to mainstream instant messaging software. AIM, Yahoo, MSN, Google Talk, Facebook and Twitter are supported; The Tor Foundation which has made it possible for according to that community.

  • XMPP Overlay (XO) Messaging Framework
    XMPP Overlay (XO) Messaging Framework Overview XO (XMPP Overlay) is a serverless asynchronous messaging framework that provides group communications across tactical and enterprise networks. Problem Statement Messaging within mobile ad-hoc networks cannot rely on standard server-centric, TCP communications solutions. These are not suited to disconnected, intermittent, limited (DIL) networks, such as mobile ad-hoc networks. Our Approach The XO middleware is a cross-platform middleware framework that brings asynchronous, serverless group messaging that bridge tactical and enterprise environments. The XO middleware is proven to deliver more messages in dynamic networks than standard server-centric messaging solutions. Key Features • Utilizes and extends common communications standards (XMPP, NORM, SMF, mDNS) • Serverless, asynchronous messaging and service discovery • Proxy architecture allows users to run familiar XMPP clients (e.g.: Pidgin, Spark) • Gatewaying to XMPP servers (e.g. OpenFire) allows plugging into existing infrastructure • Semantic descriptors for publish and subscribe group communications • Supports both reliable and unreliable message delivery • Provides long-term persistent storage for DIL Networks Sponsored by Applied Informatics Group The College of Computing & Informatics, Drexel University [email protected] • drexel.edu/cci/aig XMPP Overlay Service (XO) PRODUCT XMPP Overlay Service (XO) provides serverless chat capabilities for mobile users in environments where backhaul links and enterprise networks are unreliable or
