Abstract

Conference control has been an area of intensive research over the years but widely accepted robust and scalable solutions and standards are still lacking. The main conference control components are conference management and floor (resource) control. We identify the requirements for conference control and propose a component-based scalable conference control framework employing the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). The framework assumes a single control point, but our architecture can scale to large groups by distributing media via a tree-shaped hierarchy of conference servers.
