Instant messaging using xmpp

Abstract

This paper discusses a web based instant messaging application based on XMPP protocol. This application can be used from any platform to send and receive texts and also be used for push notifications and broadcast news across the clients. The paper discusses the client server architecture in a single server system that can be used in smaller organization for secure message delivery. The clients can also use group chats or multi user chat rooms other than individual chats. The scope of the proposed application can be expanded to and not limited to file sharing system to share files(.pdf, .ppt, .docx) and multimedia files(.jpeg, .jpg). A daily task list or timesheet can also be added so that employees can use this application to add or remove daily work reminders.
