Abstract: A messaging server application system handles message creation, receipt, and response for any sort of digitizable message in any format. It typically operates as a core application and application infrastructure in a communications network or networks in the multiple sender, receiver and user modes of the same or varying design and operational characteristics. The system uses an application architecture organized using a set of ten loosely-coupled subsystems falling into three general functional groups: interface/connector subsystems, core subsystems, and storage subsystems. The interface/connector subsystems include Voice, Data and Multimedia Gateways as well as Message Connectors and aMultimodal Authenticator. The core subsystems include a Multimedia Messaging Bus, an independent Metadata Messaging Bus, and a Content Transformer. The Storage Subsystem can include various Storage Subsystems.
