| Summary: | Abstract. Stimulated by new protocols like SIP, telephony applications are rapidly evolving to offer and combine a variety of communications forms including presence status, instant messaging and videoconferencing. This situation changes and complicates significantly the programming of telephony applications that consist now of distributed entities involved into multiple heterogeneous, stateful and long-running interactions. This paper proposes an approach to support the development of SIP-based telephony applications based on general programming language. Our approach combines the concepts of Actor, Session and Role. Role is the part an actor takes in a session and we consider a session as a collaboration between roles. By using these concepts, we are able to break the complexity of SIP entities programming and provide flexibility for defining new ones. Our approach is implemented as a coding framework above JAIN-SIP. 1 |
