All parts of EPIC are released as open source software. We would love to get you engaged, to discuss and improve the software we wrote:
Epic Java Client
The Epic Java Client implements the XMPP communication. It is based on the asmack library to make it work on multiple operating systems including Android.
Epic Android Service
The Epic Android Service implements a background service running on Android connecting to the Epic Network.
Epic Android SDK
The Epic Android SDK is used to write Android applications that utilize the Epic Android Service. Everyone can use it to write their own Epic Applications.
Ruby-based XMPP Client
A simple XMPP client on top of Blather that supports service discovery and ad-hoc commands. Sample commands have been implemented that xmacro to reply keystrokes of a laptop’s function keys on ubuntu. The keys that are exposed as commands can be called remotely. This allows to control the volume, start, stop next and previous operations of any media running application. This project can be taken as a blueprint to implement more custom services on top.
Strophe Plugins
These are a set of plugins to the Strophe javascript library that implement service discovery and remote commands.
Chrome Browser XMPP Extension
This is a blueprint for a chrome browser extension. It contains a jquery plugin that abstracts the xmpp details and serves as a starting point for people interested in connecting their phone and browser directly.
webOS XMPP Client
A javascript application on top of Strophe and HP’s new enyo framework. It implements discovery and ad-hoc commands together with webOS specifc commands to open urls in a browser. Together with a service and a simple patch to the browser, it allows to retrieve the urls currently opened in the browser. The urls are sent and made available to other nodes on the network. This will be made available when enyo had a public release.
Report
