The two examples you provide of automata "outside" the conference are 
just "SIP applications", ones that may use 3pcc to connect a user to the 
conference (in the first case) or use the conference policy control 
protocol to ask the focus to send invitations (in the second). The 
framework will make brief mention of such applications.

The inside automata are easily supported as participants themselves. In 
that sense, the framework doesn't need anything special to support them. 
However, it is worth mentioning that this is how it is done.
