Developing Converged Application using Open Source software

With evolution of telecommunication the demand for real time communication is increasing day by day in any enterprise (Converged) application . For example as soon as user makes any bank transaction using bank's online portal the portal should send a SMS to phone registered against that user. As soon as there is checkout in shopping portal by a customer the details of Order should reach to administrator either as a SMS or as a phone call (using the text to speech conversion technology). As soon as there is transaction on Credit Card, SMS should be sent to user. Its not limited to passing the information one way but interactive communication that should take place between the communication device and web application like unless and until user approves of credit card transaction by his/her phone the credit card is not charged! In this paper we present the Mobicents Open Source Platform for development of Converged Application.
