ABSTRACT
The name may sound silly, but Jabber is a serious technology for XML-based,
near-real-time messaging. In this session, we'll talk about Jabber's roots
in the open-source community as an alternative to proprietary instant
messaging (IM) systems such as ICQ. In addition to standard IM technologies
such as multi-user conferencing, whiteboarding, voice over IP, and wireless
communication, we will also discuss current applications of Jabber
technology to problems as diverse as managing networks, improving workflows,
and tunneling XML-RPC and SOAP calls through firewalls. Peter Saint-Andre is
active both in commercial applications of Jabber technology through his work
at Jabber, Inc. and in the Jabber open-source community as a leading
member of the Jabber Software Foundation.

applications.

About CATS
The Colorado Advanced Technology Series wants to introduce students at
the University of Colorado to the technology leaders of local and national
industries and help the leaders of those companies explain what their
companies do and why it's a great place to work. The main event of CATS
is a series of technical talks in the middle of each semester. In each
seminar, a technical or business leader from a local or national company
describes
new or existing technical developments, the motivation for developing that
technology and the corporate environment. For more information on CATS visit
