ECTF Work Areas: Application Interoperability

The application interoperability work area is concerned with defining effective interoperation of computer telephony applications developed by different vendors and installed on one or more systems on a network. While the initial focus is directed toward applications based on S.100, this work area covers all aspects of CT application interoperability.

Goals for work in this area include categorizing application types and their information exchange needs; identifying S.100 APIs which facilitate application interoperability; and publishing a schema of relevant information types to faciliatte data sharing between computer telephony applications. Work in this area will be coordinated with the Media Services work area to ensure that enhancements and/or elaborations to specific portions of the S.100 specification will facilitate application interoperability.

Specifications Published
The following specifications have been published in the application interoperability work area:

  • A.001 (Application Interoperability Model)
    The ECTF Application Interoperability Framework allows computer telephony applications to cooperate and interoperate. This document outlines the objectives and means to achieve low cost of CT application ownership and defines the architecture and the set of interfaces that achieve these goals.
