-Real Time Communications on the Web

-P2P and SIP

These sessions are hosted by Dr. Henry Sinnreich and Dr. Alan Johnston.

Dr. Henry Sinnreich, considered by many to be the Godfather of SIP, developed the first commercial SIP service used by a major carrier. He has authored several books on SIP, and is an active contributor to IETF SIP standards work.

Alan Johnston is Adjunct Professor at Washington University in St. Louis, and Director of the SIP Forum. He is a co-author of the core SIP specification, and other standards. He holds several patents, and is the author of four books on SIP and VoIP security.

The SIP Tutorial is sponsored by the SIP Forum, which is an IP communications industry association that engages in numerous activities that advance and promote SIP technology, such as the development of industry recommendations, the SIPit interoperability and testing events, special interoperability workshops, and general promotion of SIP in the industry.
