Dan Ports 2002/03/01 Resources related to IP-based telephony (what I'm currently looking into): Telephony / AV Conferencing Software for Linux: http://www.bright.net/~dlphilp/linuxsound/telephony.html A list of many existing projects related to IP-based telephony under Linux. Robust Audio Tool: http://www-mice.cs.ucl.ac.uk/multimedia/software/rat/index.html A particular audio-conferencing tool; currently the one that looks most promising for basing our work on. Kwan Hong Lee, "IMPROMPTU: Audio Applications for Mobile IP" MIT Master's Thesis, Program in Media Arts and Sciences, 2001. A thesis describing work done at the Media Lab involving iPaq PDAs as a platform for audio streaming; potentially another possible basis for development. Some resources relating to context-aware telephony that I've been pointed towards but haven't had a chance to look at yet: Allen E . Milewski and Thomas M. Smith, "Providing Presence Cues to Telephone Users", Proceedings of ACM CSCW, 2000. John C. Tang, Nicole Yankelovich, James Begole, Max Van Kleek, Francis Li, and Janak Bhalodia "ConNexus to Awarenex: Extending awareness to mobile users", Proceedings of ACM CHI, 2001
