Asynchronous Server tools to facilitate interactive art using multiple cellphones.

[Ryan Nestor]

Following up on several conversations I've been having recently - according to the needs of a project in which novice user's phones would communicate bidirectionally with a central server (or each other, through a gateway) - here are a few SW technologies that I think would be useful to explore.

AutoBahn -- An opensource and rather full implementation of Websockets, and WAMP written in Pythone and Javascript(node).

 WAMP is useful in this case beacuse it can establish roles:  publisher, subscriber, broker (with PubSub)  , as well as provide a framework for RPC, which allows users to call explicitly exposed remote functions on the server( these could be arduino serial functions, or talk to a video server, or ableton live, or whatever ).
