Abstract
Methods and systems for facilitating communication between IMS and non-IMS applications are introduced. A network agent may serve as a proxy between one or more client devices and an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) infrastructure. The network agent may transmit a monitoring program to a client device for execution on the client device. The monitoring program may collect data regarding communication applications executing on the client device, and then transmit this data to the network agent. From the collected data, the network agent preferably selects translation logic with which to translate between messages compatible with the communication applications executing on the client device and standardized communication applications executing in the IMS infrastructure.
