Why do i need to tell
my workmate what my
problem is?
Context switch is a
problem if I have to
work on to much things.
Why can not the
application do so for
me?

New in UC R2 Platform
Built on UCMA 2.0 Core SDK and MS
Speech
Abstracts a subset of UCMA 2.0 Core SDK
functionality
MS Speech provides TTS and ASR
Use UCMA 2.0 Core SDK via Code activity and
custom activities to extend UCMA 2.0 WA
Requires .NET 3.5 SP1
Speech Server Language Pack needed
Communication Sequence
Provide container for

Repsonsible for SIP Message handling
Consist of two Parts
Microsoft SIP Programming Language
Managed Code
Routing functions and Filter Scripts can be
done
Registers with OCS 2007 Server
Microsoft own Script Language
Is capable of looking into SIP Messages for
filtering or rerouting
Complex actions need to dispatch
MSPL
<lc:splScript><![CDATA[
if (sipRequest) {
if (sipRequest.Method == StandardMethod.Invite) {
Dispatch("NameOfInviteHandlerMethodInApplicationHere");
}
else if (sipRequest.Method == StandardMethod.Message) {
Dispatch("NameofMessageHandlerMethodInApplicationHere");
}
}
]]></lc:splScript>
Used to change SIP message more detailed
Additional Queries or Datasources possible
C#
Microsoft.Rtc.Sip Namespace
...
ServerAgent myScriptOnlyServerAgent =
newServerAgent(myAppManifest);
...
public void NameOfInviteHandlerMethodInApplicationHere(
object sender,
RequestReceivedEventArgs requestEventArgs)
{
}
Office Communicator not more needed for
Application Integration
Workflow gets easier to manage
A short Demo of a Microsoft Application
ISVs are important for Microsoft
Simple und straight forward Presence and
Click-to-Call integration
