CONFIANCE

A paper on CONFIANCE and DCON has been recently presented at the IPTComm 2007 conference (Principles, Systems and Applications of IP Telecommunications) in New York.

A user-friendly, interactive, installer script for CONFIANCE is now available.

Exciting news in CONFIANCE!
The new release introduces support for video mixing and transcoding functionality, so that to provide continuous video presence in conferences. To do so, CONFIANCE can rely on two different videomixers:

• CONFIANCE VideoMixer, a work we're carrying on ourselves;
• Sergio Garcia Murillo's VideoMixer, an open source videomixer available on http://sip.fontventa.com/.

An article about DCON has been recently published on the March issue of the IEEE Communications Magazine:

• A. Buono, S. Loreto, L. Miniero, S.P. Romano "A distributed IMS enabled conferencing architecture on top of a standard centralized conferencing framework", IEEE Communications Magazine vol.45, No 3, March 2007 (requires IEEE subscription or membership)
