Oktopous PIK v1.2 README

Oktopous PIK is a ccXML Interpreter and Platform Integration Kit that fully implements the ccXML 1.0
specification (Call Control Extensible Markup Language) published by the W3C. A copy of the
specification can be found at http://www.w3c.org/TR/ccxml. Oktopous PIK provides a high level abstract
C++ implementation of the ccXML specification that can be integrated with any underlying telephony
platform to provide advanced call control and conferencing services.

This document assumes that you are familiar with the activities of W3C Voice Browser Working Group.
Oktopous PIK is only an interpreter interface, and does not do the actual call control operations. You
need a telephony platform that supports making and receiving calls.

If you want to have dialog support then you need a VoiceXML browser, eg. Phonologies InterpreXer(TM)
VoiceXML Browser, SALT browser or any proprietary dialog engine. Conferencing support requires an Audio
mixer or an MCU.

Oktopous PIK borrows some of the modules like data types definition and SpiderMonkey ECMAScript
implementation, from the OpenVXI project (http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/openvxi).
