| Abstract: |
Multimedia and voice communication over IP is an active research area, and
various approaches have been developed in the past decade, e.g. SIP, XMPP,
H.323, Skype, GoogleTalk, etc. In this talk, I will overview some recent
advances with a focus on Service-Oriented Communication (SOC), which is a
new development in the industry to enable communication through web
services and service oriented architecture (SOA). In particular, I will
discuss the development of Web Service Initiation Protocol (WIP). WIP is a
full web service and SOA based communication protocol for multimedia and
voice communication over IP. The generic web service approach of WIP
overcomes many limitations which would be otherwise difficult to achieve in
non-web service based communication methods used today. In addition, I will
briefly discuss the service composition and orchestration framework for
communication based on WS-BPEL, and illustrate the application of this
approach through some real use cases.
