Cross-platform WebRTC team apps

“Developing WebRTC-based team apps with a cross platform mobile framework”
Paper presented at IEEE CCNC, Las Vegas, 2016.
The paper was presented by my co-author and covers the challenges, tips and tricks of creating cross platform mobile apps written using HTML5 with the help of Chrome Cordova Apps tools and framework. It also includes a demo of a real-time streaming video widget running on various platforms, mobile devices, and in native app vs. web app modes.
“Smart endpoints and a dumb network”

“Vclick: endpoint driven enterprise WebRTC”
Paper presented at IEEE ISM, Miami, 2015.
The paper describes the architecture, implementation and core ideas behind a endpoint driven multimedia collaboration system that includes audio/video conferencing, text chat, screen sharing, shared whiteboard, notepad and others. All the application logic runs in the endpoint, while using a simple resource server in cloud. It also includes a demo of cloud hosted software.
User reachability in multi-apps environment
Paper presented at IEEE ISM, Miami, 2015.
The paper describes the problem of user reachability in today's seggregated multi-apps environment where an user of one service cannot easily talk to that on another. It also describes the architecture and implementation of Strata, a mobile-first but cross-platform app, that can dynamically figure out the right reachability, and can integrate with bunch of existing services such as phone system, Avaya IP office, Scopia, AMS, etc. It also includes a demo of the app.
Enterprise WebRTC powered by browser extensions
Paper presented at IPTcomm, Chicago, 2015.
The paper shows how browser extensions can be used to solve critical problems in adopting WebRTC in enterprises. In particular, policy enforcement of how to traverse authorized WebRTC flows and block others through restricted enterprise firewalls, and how to seamlessly integrate WebRTC with existing enterprise communication systems. It also includes a couple of demos of our cloud hosted software.
Story of ALICE

“Avaya Labs Innovations Cloud Engagement”
Paper presented at IPTcomm, Chicago, 2015.
The paper presents the architecture, implementation and tips and tricks of our cloud hosted application portal for team collaboration systems. In particular, it describes the challenges and solutions to the multi-tenancy and self-service aspects of the system. It also includes a demo of our cloud hosted portal for multi-tenancy.
Artisy: platform for communicating web apps

“Building communicating web applications leveraging endpoints and cloud resource service”
Paper presented at IEEE Cloud, Santa Clara, 2013.
The paper describes the problem due to user data controlled by apps, and presents an architecture and implementation to separate the user data from the applications. It describes resource based application architecture, a generic WebRTC signaling for communicating web applications, and a developer platform for building such communicating apps. It also includes a demo of Artisy app builder and widgets.
What is living content?

“Private overlay of enterprise social data and interactions in the public web context”
Paper presented at IEEE CollaborateCom, Austin, 2013.
The paper describes the architecture and implementation of our living content system that demonstrats enterprise social interactions such as web annotations, virtual presence, co-editing, click-to-call from corporate or social directory, and real-time WebRTC based collaboration on third-party websites. It also includes a demo of living content in several use cases.

What is Internet Telephony?

“SIP for geeks”
Presented to Twilio, San Francisco, 2010.
Overview of Internet telephony from voice sampling, codecs, transports to signaling and call transfers. Covers RTP, SDP, SIP as well as big picture on various voice services, peer-to-peer, web and standardizations.
Expanded PPT, Web, Subset PPT, Web
Flash based audio and video communication
Presented at IIT VoIP conference and expo, Chicago, 2010.
This talk will present the differences in video communication technologies, how it is being deployed in practice using the Flash platform, shedding some light on many confusions about what works and what does not, and how can Flash video work with standards such as SIP and HTML 5. This developer focused presentation will walk you through what it takes to build a Flash-based video communication system using example code.

Peer-to-peer Internet Telephony
Presented at IIT VoIP conference and expo, Chicago, 2010.
This talk will present the challenges and directions for peer-to-peer Internet telephony. P2P systems inherently have high scalability and robustness because there is no central point of failure. The IETF P2P-SIP working group is exploring P2P architectures for SIP-based telephony and beyond.
