- Description: Many applications need the ability to do real-time notification when events occur. Often the people who need to be kept aware of events are in a remote location. This paper looks at a bi-directional gateway between networked computers and the GSM short message service. The gateway is implemented as a web service, and uses the Simple Object Access Protocol to facilitate data communication. The service interacts with a database in order to facilitate retrieval of sent or received messages, as well as provide accounting abilities. It is intended as a practical proof-of-concept application demonstrating some ofdemonstrating some of the capabilities of the Simple Object Access Protocol.

- Description: This paper investigates two sip architectures and how services creation works in those two environments. The two architectures are SIPCOMM (www. sipcomm. com) and VOCAL (www. vovida. org). As a concrete example we look at how the voicemail service is implemented in both environments and then at how we could implement an alarm service.

CANS: Customizable Alarm Notification System, an H. 323 Signalling Service

- Description: H. 323 is a standardized signalling protocol for Voice over IP (VoIP) networks, which defines the terminal equipment and services that ena-ble real-time multimedia (data, voice, and video) communication over packetbased networks. One of the major advantages of carrying voice over Computer Networks, as opposed to the traditional SCN, is the pos-sibility of creating a wealth of services and integrating them into the network with minimal time and cost. Among these services, exists a subset that may need to interact at the signalling layer and H. 323 (ver-sion 4) provides mechanisms for this. This paper focuses on an appli-cation that was developed to explore and demonstrate H. 323’s signal-ling service creation and extension mechanisms.

- Description: One of the major problems facing schools in South Africa is the difficulty in obtaining modern, up-to-date computer facilities. This paper looks at the use of open source solutions in two government schools in South Africa to demonstrate that it is possible for schools to utilise almost any existing computer to provide effective network solutions.

- Description: Many standards aimed at managing networks currently exist, and yet networks remain notoriously difficult to maintain. Template-based management systems go a long way towards solving this problem. By developing an XML based language to describe network elements, as well as the topology of a network, we can create tools that are free from vendor specific idiosyncrasies, and are capable of managing both today’s networks and those of the future.

- Description: In this paper we introduce the concept of a contextaware, wearable application prototyping environment, which can be used to support research into new wearable applications. We also present an initial specification for such an environment and show how different types of sensors can be modelled to produce data that describes a given context scenario using our prototyping approach.
