Voxeo Talks

As I wrote about before, RJ, Jose and I were out at the Communications Developer Conference (co-located with ITEXPO) next week earlier this month in Los Angeles and our slides are now available for viewing. I also have audio and video that I will be making available soon.

Meanwhile, enjoy the slides. Note that if you click on links to go to the actual SlideShare pages you can also download the slides in PDF form.

The State of SIP Application Development, 9:00-9:45am

Our CTO, RJ Auburn, led off our presentations as part of a panel on SIP application development:

As SIP continues to be implemented in enterprise and consumer environments, applications are being developed that further leverage the IP capabilities of the clients.

RJ spoke about the state of SIP-based voice application development and how it all fits in within the world of unified communications. He had some great demonstrations of using SIP via CCXML and also SIP Servlets to connect voice applications to Twitter.

SIP Trunking and Security in an Enterprise Network, 10:15-11:15am

On this day, I (Dan York) put on my VoIP Security Alliance hat and joined a SIP trunking session sponsored by Ingate Systems:

Panel discusses security misconceptions, challenges and requirements in this evolving IP communications landscape from each presenter’s perspective.

It was a fun talk to give and covered the many aspects of VoIP security – with an obvious focus on SIP trunking.

AJAX’s Impact on Telecom, 9:15-10:00am

Jose deCastro started off our day on Thursday with a presentation about how AJAX (“Asynchronous JavaScript And XML) has changed the way we can do telephony development:

AJAX has completely changed how developers approach the Web. A lesser-known and surprising phenomenon is AJAX’s impact on telecom and open telephony standards. This session will give the audience a brief history of speech technologies and how XML fits into the speech technology ecosystem. Jose will demonstrate how developers can apply their existing AJAX skills to build dynamic telephone applications, and why this development paradigm is ideal for telecom applications.

Jose has been the lead developer on our Designer product that lets developers easily build voice applications through a web/drag-and-drop interface and this talk was a great one, especially for web developers looking to add voice into their apps.

Developing Voice Applications in The Cloud, 10:15-11:00am

I was up right after Jose talking about the whole movement to push application functionality out into “the cloud”. Here’s my abstract:

Today the industry is buzzing about cloud computing and pushing applications out into the network cloud. Google has brought out their AppEngine platform while Amazon offers their EC2 and S3 services and Microsoft and others prepare their own offerings. In this session, attendees will learn about what is involved with developing voice applications on cloud computing platforms. What options are out there? What do you need to look for in a platform? How can you get started? The session will include demonstrations and prepare the attendees to return home and get started.

We’re very pleased to note that we’ll be part of three presentations coming up at the Communications Developer Conference (formerly “VoIP Developer Conference”) co-located with ITEXPO West 2008, September 16-18, 2008.

As shown in the Communications Developer Track 1 schedule, RJ Auburn will be up first on Tuesday, September 16, from 9:00-9:45am as part of a panel on “The State of SIP Application Development“. Here’s the abstract:

As SIP continues to be implemented in enterprise and consumer environments, applications are being developed that further leverage the IP capabilities of the clients. Two of these capabilities are location and presence — where I am, and what my availability status is. This presentation will address the various protocols and standards involved in presence and location, and how these apply in a SIP environment. It explains how SIP both enables complex applications that integrate unified communications with presence and location, but also some of the challenges that it presents.

Next, on Thursday morning, September 18th, Jose de Castro and I are back to back. The day actually starts off at 8:15am with what should be a fun talk on “Voice/Data Mashups” that includes Thomas Howe. After that, Jose’s on at 9:15-10:00am with “AJAX’s Impact on Telecom“:

AJAX has completely changed how developers approach the Web. A lesser-known and surprising phenomenon is AJAX’s impact on telecom and open telephony standards. This session will give the audience a brief history of speech technologies and how XML fits into the speech technology ecosystem. Jose will demonstrate how developers can apply their existing AJAX skills to build dynamic telephone applications, and why this development paradigm is ideal for telecom applications.

I (Dan York) am then following from 10:15-11:00am with “Developing Voice Applications in the Cloud“:

Today the industry is buzzing about cloud computing and pushing applications out into the network cloud. Google has brought out their AppEngine platform while Amazon offers their EC2 and S3 services and Microsoft and others prepare their own offerings. In this session, attendees will learn about what is involved with developing voice applications on cloud computing platforms. What options are out there? What do you need to look for in a platform? How can you get started? The session will include demonstrations and prepare the attendees to return home and get started.

We’ll also have a booth there and have now also become a Platinum Sponsor of the event as well. We’re a huge fan of developer-centered conferences (hence our strong past support of ETel and then eComm) and we’re looking forward to seeing how this one goes co-located with the large ITEXPO show. If the Communications Developer Conference is not yet on your agenda for the fall, we’d definitely encourage you to check it out!
