Topic:  Tropo & Moho: Disrupting telco with simple cloud-based communications

Abstract
--------------

Tropo is Voxeo's powerful yet simple API that adds not just Voice, but also SMS, Twitter, and IM support to popular programming languages including Groovy, JavaScript, PHP, Python and Ruby. ( http://tropo.com ). This talk will provide an overview of the technology used to build the stack that enables Tropo's communications APIs in the cloud.

Jason will go into how Voxeo leveraged media servers, SIP Servlets and Java/JRuby to create a standards-based stack for large scale real-time cloud communications that goes beyond voice to also provide multi-modal: SMS, Instant Messaging and Twitter. One of those standards is SIP, the Session Initiation Protocol widely used for controlling multimedia communication sessions over Internet Protocol.

Jason will also cover the open-source Moho Java API project ( http://labs.voxeo.com/moho ) that not only runs not only on Voxeo's SIP Servlet engine, but also on the open source Sailfin and Mobicents SIP application servers.
