U.C.Engine (Unified Collaboration Engine) is an af83 Open-Source project which provides developers with the tools they need to build reliable and customized real-time collaboration applications or integrate real-time collaborative features to existing applications.
af83 U.C.Engine Professional services is set of services that enable enterprise ready deployments of U.C.Engine.
U.C.Engine enables the development of a huge variety of real time collaboration applications.
Custom lightweight clients can be built with the Ux framework. Depending on the usage context, several frontends can be used at the same time giving a seamless multi-screen/terminal experience.
Widgets are end-user features available as jQuery UI widgets. They allow easy integration in the user interface of new custom features.
The engine, a publish/subscribe server with persistence, conducts in real time the massive flow of interactions and contents.
Written in Erlang, a programming language oriented to developing concurrent software, it enables performance and scalability.
It exposes a ReSTful HTTP API with JSON as its primary exchange format that allows third-party programs and application to leverage the real-time capabilities.
All interactions, events and content are time-coded, stored in a database and indexed in a search engine.
A wide range of back-end applications, called “bricks”, such as video encoders, file converters or semantic analyzers can be connected through UC Engine API and extend the possibilities of the application.
Even if the U.C.Engine framework lowers the technical barriers, implementing a fully-fledged collaboration solution can be really difficult. af83, its team of over 40 people and our partners can help you achieve your project.
