Title: Unifying real-time communications with JavaScript
Abstract:
WebRTC was devised as one of the means to overcome platform differences in communication technology. It pushed the web as a strong alternative to proprietary platforms. The role of JavaScript is very important in this stack as the language for unifying different types of clients.
Hoever, as more and more systems move towards exchanging large amount of information in real-time, there is an ever-increasing concern over platform fragmentations. Existing communication systems are not usually built to inter-operate with others. This results in multiple silos that prevent implementation of a unified layer of communication worldwide.
This talk explores how JavaScript is being used and how it can be used to build a fragmentation-less, globally available, decentralized communications network.
