Abstract:
A computer-implemented conferencing system, comprising: a plurality of" contendd servers comprising a conferencing pool, wherein each of the plurality of frontend servers comprises at least one processing unit; a storage device that stores a 10 conference database, wherein the conference database includes information about at least one conference provisioned on at least one frontend server of the conFerencing pool, and wherein the conference database further includes presence information and registration information corresponding to the at least one provisioned conference; and at least one load balancer component that balances session load among the plurality of 15 the frontend servers comprising the conferencing pool.

Abstract:
A method and system for increasing the computational and network efficiency of presence servers having collections of publications is provided. The presence system uses several techniques that enable a presence server to provide rich presence information without requiring expensive processing. First, the presence system accepts batches of publication updates in a single presence update request. Similarly, the presence system accepts batches of subscription requests. Next, the presence system supports new expiration types for publication update requests that eliminate the need for a publishing user to continually refresh presence information that has not changed. Finally, the presence system accepts access lists that contain membership groups rather than an individual list of users that are to have access to a particular presence collection.

Abstract:
Architecture for a scalable, pluggable multi-party, and distributed multimedia conferencing. A centralized policy and control conferencing component allows the seamless plug-in of different distributed media components (e.g., data, audio/video, messaging) to accommodate client participation in a conference session. The centralized conference control component includes the following: a conference notification service for accepting subscriptions to the conference state and notifying subscribers about changes to that state; a conference policy and roster control service for storing and manipulating conference policy and rosters; a security service for user authorization/authentication based on user identity information; a scheduling service for conference scheduling; an allocation service for allocating the most available media component(s) for a conference session; and, an MCU management service for conference policy and roster management of the distributed media components.
Abstract:
Se describe una arquitectura para una conferencia multimedia escalable, de partes múltiples conectable, y distribuida. Una política centralizada y componente de conferencia de control permiten la conexión uniforme de diferentes componentes de medios distribuidos (por ejemplo, datos, audio/vídeo, transmisión de mensajes) para acomodar participación de cliente en una sesión de conferencia. El componente de control de conferencia centralizado incluye lo siguiente: un servicio de notificación de conferencia para aceptar suscripciones al estado de conferencia y notificar a los suscriptores sobre cambios a ese estado; una política de conferencia y servicio de control de lista para almacenar y manipular política de conferencia y listas; un servicio de seguridad para autorización/autentificación de usuario basado en información de identidad de usuario; un servicio de programación para programación de conferencia; un servicio de distribución para distribuir el componente(s) de medios más disponible para una sesión de conferencia; y, un servicio de manejo de MCU para política de conferencia y manejo de lista de los componentes de medios distribuidos.
