The Open Voice Network (OVN) solicits presentation proposals for an online workshop on the interoperability of voice applications.
Perceived problem: voice applications on different platforms cannot easily communicate and share data. For example, a shopping application on platform A cannot invoke a payment application on platform B, provide it with billing information, and then receive results of the payment application before continuing with fulfilment processing.
Workshop goal: to explore various approaches for implementing interoperability of voice applications within and across platforms.
Specifically, we solicit descriptions for
• How one voice application invokes another voice application
• How control is passed among cooperating voice applications
• How data and context is shared among cooperating voice applications
• Other topics related to interoperating voice applications
The Open Voice Network will use knowledge from this workshop to assist it in designing a standards-based approach to voice application interoperability.
