WebRTC Agenda

In this session the authors of the new book on how to develop and implement WebRTC using with the new IETF and W3C standards will overview the concepts and structure of WebRTC and how it is defined in the emerging standards. The session will bring everyone up to a clear understanding of WebRTC for the technical discussions going forward. The workshop will include specific examples of how to code and create realtime interactions. The session will be interactive, allowing for open and clear discussion. The workshop will continue into the next session.

This preconference workshop is available to all attendees. In it the Google experts and engineers will overview the Google WebRTC implementation and how to write applications to run with the Chrome browser that is in the market today. These experts, many who created the WebRTC concept and the open source WebRTC code base that Google has released will discuss the ins and outs of their WebRTC implementations and answer your questions. A must attend for anyone looking at how to deploy WebRTC services in 2013.

This session is designed to introduce business and nontechnical attendees to what WebRTC is all about. The session will cover the origins of WebRTC, the concepts of a Media Engine and its purpose in a IP edge device and the concepts of triangles and trapezoids. The session will contrast WebRCT and SIP as well as discuss how WebRTC can be used to generate new capabilities. The session will include an analysis of the potential impact of WebRTC contrasted with the impact of the browser/web and VoIP.The session will include introductions to use case examples of WebRTC by leaders in consulting on how companies are planning to use WebRTC to enhance their business operations and strategies. The session will include the leading WebRTC industry analysts reviewing their data on the market growth and revenue opportunities for both the Telco/mobile operator and Enterprise markets.

Ericsson is leading webrtc development with a new web development platform that will allow any connected device to be turned into an alwaysopen communications device.

In this session key leaders and contributors to the IETF and W3C standards efforts will report on the progress of the standards and how they will come to conclusion and release. This session will be critical in helping understand when to start your WebRTC development and release.

This session will discuss how WebRTC disrupts the current communications space. It will cover multiple areas and define how WebRTC could change not only the current market, but adjacent spaces as well.

The decision on mandatory video codecs for WebRTC has been a challenging one, with strenuous discussion in the standards bodies, On one side are the proponents of using the existing standards of 264 and 265 codecs. Proponents say they are already embedded in hardware, are flexible and should be used. On the other side, the browser vendors prefer VP8, saying it is open, better, and comes without licenses. The issues is further clouded by IPR claims, undocumented testing, and a huge amount of personal and professional ego. The goal of this session is to open the debate up so the industry at large can hear the issues, hopefully moving the exercise forward in a new era of understanding of the issues and the myths. Let the Bell Heads and Web Heads debate.

WebRTC opens up the gaming world to real time in a way that has not existed. This goes beyond simple walkietalkie speech to the ability to generate full spatial audio. As we move forward, this will enable new multiplayer games delivered across the full range of HTML5 devise with new audio. With speech recognition, the audio channel can even become part of the game environment, with the player able to use audio commands and interactions in game play. Let the games begin!

The WebRTC hype engine is running in overdrive. From conferences, web buzz, investment, and announcements, WebRTC is the biggest news in realtime today. But are we ready for primetime? Will the solutions we can deliver with the state of the technology meet the expectations of the market? Does WebRTC run the risk of become a rocket that dazzles but loses it spark and disappoints, or are the components coming together to make this the transformation many of the proponents are hyping?

The WebRTC standard does not specify the signaling channel and exactly how it is implemented. There are different choices and each may be better for a specific applications or situation. This session will discuss the options available to developers, who is using which and how to choose between the options for your WebRTC deployment.

In this session we will invite 5 forward thinkers to present a concept of an app, no demo required. Each will have about 5 minutes to describe their thoughts and concepts and then we will have a short panel and the audience will vote on the best idea. These will not be commercial ideas per see, but really cool things you could do with WebRTC.

The data channel is a function that enable WebRTC to go far beyond what was delivered in VoIP. With the data channel, new applications can be implemented, from sending pictures and files for personal and business to suing it to gather medical information in realtime from a patient device. this session will focus on how to use the data channel and what expectation should be made relative to throughput, latency, jitter, and other factors that may be critical in implementations. Also, issues with trying to use the data channel for the wrong services will be covered.

This session will discuss how the advent of RTC, including voice, video and data will change the web, both from the applications that can be created to the way those applications will consume resources and be operated. The Real Time WEB will open many new doors. The session will feature leaders in developing applications that demonstrate how real time can be used for transformation and discuss the issues this will bring for the Web in general.

WebRTC enables multiuser chat. for audio this can be effective for reasonable large sets of users, but in video there are issues with processing capabilities and network bandwidth. While multichat is very cost effective, on practical devices and networks, driving 35 video streams per participant may not deliver a quality experience. This session will examine the challenges to use of multiparty chat and the other options for conferencing, including MCUs and routers. The session will include current understanding of what the practical limitations from a performance, experience and cost are for the options. For MCUs and routers, the options of using a service , freeware option or developing your own solution will be discussed.

This session is an open call to define where WebRTC will have an impact, from sensor to automobiles. While the applications are interesting, this session will focus on how WebRTC will change a given space through new business models, new customers and new partnerships.

This popular session promises to be exciting in 2013 as it was in 2012. In 2012 the winners were exciting displays of how WebRTC could be used and led to many new opportunities. With an open invitation to the WebRTC community to show off their products and developments, this will be an opportunity to have your WebRTC application seen and evaluated. A panel of judges will evaluate the 16 participants with awards for best in classes based on rapid fire 10 minute demos. The judges will include entrepreneurs and Venture Capitalists. In addition, the conference organizers are extending an open invite to the VC community to attend. If you have something cool with WebRTC, this is the time to show it off. Hurry as there are only 16 slots. Note this is a sponsored opportunity, for information about demonstration opportunities, contact Dave Rodriguez at drodriguez@tmcnet.com / 2038526800 x. 146.

One of the challenges with WebRTC is dealing with NAT and firewall transversal as well as the security ramifications of a WebRTC deployment. This session will focus on how to set up and operate ICE, Turn, and Stun for assuring seamless operation across the internet and its speed bumps. It will also talk to the key security issues that emerge and how to manage them and the role of SBCs in your deployment. The session will include practical discussions of how each is deployed and configured. The session will help assure that your WebRTC deployment gets to the right people all the time, regardless of their locations and network.

WebRTC offers new ways to extend existing telecom solutions. For the Contact Center, WebRTC will enable new ways of onboarding customers and promises tight integration with the company web site. With 7009% of Contact Center interactions proceeded by a web site visit, one of the first big impact os WebRTC is in the Contact Center. But WebRTC may change UC as well. From BYOB to enterprise portals, WebRTC will enable the new capabilities of UC to be delivered in new ways, new locations and to new users. This session will focus on specific options and plans from existing enterprise Contact Center and UC vendors on how they are planning to implement WebRTC in their solutions. It will also discuss whether WebRTC is the technology that will open the door to Cloud based services.

WebRTC will enable new Over The Top services and new Telco and Mobile Operator services, but many are asking what the financial impact of WebRTC will be on telcos and Mobile Operators. Is WebRTC a source of new revenue, another step in commoditization of, or something else altogether. This panel will discuss how WebRTC can be used to make money and how it may impact the revenue and opportunities of Telcos all service providers and Mobile operators. It will discuss whether revenue will come from end users, content providers, or through new alternative monetization think Google models. The panelists will be asked to think about what they think the areas of differentiation and preference could be in the emerging world.

This session will focus on deploying WebRTC as a cloud deployment, both as an infrastructure as well as the practical issues of WebRTC based CaaS. As WebRTC is a realteam solutions and the both the control and media path can be impacted by the deployment, understanding how to effectively deploy to the cloud is critical. In addition to basic issues, the session will discuss what characteristics are critical in hosting or CaaI Infrastructure or CaaP Platform in selecting your deployment decisions and methodology.

Many early WebRTC developments are focused to enterprise. This session will focus on the offers that are being developed and delivered, with focus on why the new entrants believe their offers should change the interpose landscape. The focus will be on how WebRTC and the underlying adoption of Web and JavaScript programming enable new entrants to deliver capacities more rapidly. emphasis will also be given to the issues that make these offers different from traditional telephony and when they are appropriate for enterprise users.

With more than a billion new mobile smart devices in 2015, WebRTC will have a plethora of deployment options and platforms. This session will examine some of the issues and how WebRTC will be deployed in the mobile world. Access to the World Wide Web is happening more and more through the window of a mobile device. With web sites reporting rising usage of mobile versions of their content, and the lines between The Web, and apps on mobile platforms are blurred. How will WebRTC impact The Mobile Web and Telcos? How is being integrated with IMS? This session examines the promise and perils of bringing WebRTC to the world of Mobility and the Telcos.

The lack of interoperability between browsers and mobile devices has been a major barrier for developers looking to embrace WebRTC. As fragmentation of devices, browsers and networks continue to grow, it becomes increasingly difficult to develop an application that just works, no matter who your end user is. This session will explore how existing live video platforms are leveraging WebRTC to provide developers with the quality benefits WebRTC has to offer, while providing a flexible, customizable mobile development tool.

SIP has become the basis of both the new interchange in telecom and many of the vendor products. However, WebRTC introduces a model that is different from SIP, from end points that are dumb to different protocols and even codecs. How do SIP and WebRTC exist together? Will they exist side by side to end user devices for different purposes, or will the market move to horizontal bands. Will SIP be relegated to a legacy carrier interchange and PSTN access or will WebRTC be merely an extension of SIP into a subset of devices. This panel will examine the paths forward with lively debate about whether WebRTC will kill the SIP momentum or augment it.

Many developers are looking at NodeJS as their deployment environment and using MongoDB as their database. This session will examine the actual deployment of these systems and how to develop anddeploy an reliable solution for your WebRTC platform. The session will cover how to deploy and issues that are critical in these new solution areas.

WebRTC opens a new potential of using a web site as a direct extension into managing customer service. While this will potentially meet the needs of the 7080% of customers the come from the web site to an actual realtime interaction, it opens up new issues. This session will focus on both new capabilities to deliver customer service without traditional contact center technology, and how to overcome the issues of skills based service, management and analytics. Special attention will be paid to actual implementations currently underway.

WebRTC opens the door to a whole new set of services, users, and others that need to be integrated into the overall system of a telco or mobile Operator. This is true whether it is an operator service or a service using the network or other capabilities. WebRTC opens issues in provisioning, billing, and other backoffice functions as well as raising a new security dimension. Assuring that these resources are allocated to customers and not openly and that customers are identified to recipe the best experience may be the key to reducing churn in the coming environment. This sesson will discuss issues and solutions that should be considered as WebRTC is introduced into the environment.

With WebRTC potentially emerging on mobile devices in late 2013, this session will discuss he unique issues that must be considered when your end points are mobile devices. How mobile bandwidth, processing, interfaces, and device capabilities will impact the overall users experience in a mobile devices will have a huge impact on acceptance. This session will cover the key areas and issues and how you can mitigate them to have a superior mobile WebRTC deployment.

WebRTC introduces significant challenges. How are identities managed and assured, are communications secure, what is the role of SBCs and how to protect against Denial of Service attacks and other issues. With the potential that WebRTC may replace traditional telephony for many communications, including the contact center, these security issues are critical. This session will discuss how secure WebRTC is and how the security issues can be managed in the enterprise environment.

WebRTC opens the door to a rich set of alternative uses of the network for traditional realtime services that telcos have traditionally provided. While some of those may be directly competitive, many will be based on models not accessible to todays operators such as global social, or vertical oriented business. One option that some operators are considering is migrating their business to a completely separate transport and services businesses. This would enable the transport business to manage the optimal delivery of a transport service without consideration for how that impacts overlying service revenues and a new services business that would have the freedom to partner and extend outside the operates traditional domain to react rapidly to a changing market and technical landscape. This session will examine the pros and cons of this decision process and how different operates are viewing the challenge that WebRTC opens.

Our closing panel will reflect the closing in November in San Francisco. In this panel we will focus on the way forward, thinking outside the box and reflecting on all that has been discussed in the previous two days. The applications and impact of the browser was hardly expected in 1992. While WebRTC may change the current landscape in startling ways, the real impact may be new things that have not been created. This panel will take the bell head box off and think how WebRTC could change the world in ways we have yet to even anticipated. From how we educated our children to how we meet each other, WebRTC may change the world. Join us to end the conference outside the box with inspiration for the future.
