Reliable communication across ad hoc networks
(Telkom, 2008)
This paper presents a fully decentralised peer-topeer voice communication tool intended for use across mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) by distributed groups who desired collaboration. We examined the synergy between MANETs ...
Kiara: an open source SIP system to support Deaf telephony
(Telkom, 2008)
This paper describes Kiara, an open source SIPbased communication system that provides the building blocks to enable Deaf relay services. We have implemented a prototype that provides real-time text, voice and video to a ...
Connecting bridges across the digital divide
(ACM, 2004)
Connecting people across the Digital Divide is as much a social effort as a technological one. We are developing a community-centered approach to learn how interaction techniques can compensate for poor communication across ...
Instant messaging on handhelds: an affective gesture approach
(SAICSIT in association with ACM, 2005)
Text communication can be perceived as lacking in chat spontaneity, or plastic, due to medium limitations during interaction. A form of text messaging, Instant Messaging (IM), is now on the uptake, even on mobile handhelds. ...
SoftBridge: an architecture for building IP-based bridges over the digital divide
(Telkom, 2002)
Users and computing equipment have varying capabilities that include the abilities to exchange text and audio, engage in high bandwidth communication, etc. As the technological options increase, e ective communication ...
SoftBridge: a multimodal instant messaging bridging system
(Telkom, 2003)
Instant Messaging is traditionally a text only a air. However, there are instances when it would be useful to bridge to other types of media, like speech. The SoftBridge is an application framework that enables this kind ...
Web-based telephony bridges for the deaf
(Telkom, 2001)
A Teldem provides text-based telephony services to the deaf. Despite an array of text-based communications mechanisms on the web, the Teldem is the only means of synchronous telecommunication available to a deaf person. ...
A Softbridge with carrier grade reliability using JAIN SLEE
(Telkom, 2004)
We have built a SoftBridge prototype within a JAIN (Java APIs for the Integrated Network) SLEE (Service Logic Execution Environment). A SoftBridge is a semi-synchronous multimodal IP (Internet Protocol) -based communication ...
Handheld fast-track feedback instant messaging
(Telkom, 2003)
As mobile devices and networks become more data-centric, text messaging requires an extension of co-presence capabilities for better interactive discussion between input/output handicapped handheld users and their free ...
Affective gesture feedback Instant Messaging on handhelds
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., 2004)
Mobile devices and mobile networks are becoming more data-centric (evident in Japanese I-mode) even as mobile network voice Average Revenue Per User are declining, new stream of data services are required which must take ...
