AMQP 1.0 becomes OASIS Standard

Members have approved the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) 1.0 as an OASIS Standard. AMQP is a wire-level messaging protocol that offers organizations an efficient, reliable approach to passing real-time data and business transactions with confidence. AMQP provides a platform-agnostic method for ensuring information is safely transported between applications, among organizations, within mobile infrastructures, and across the Cloud. Congratulations to the AMQP TC co-chairs, Ram Jeyaraman of Microsoft and Angus Telfer of INETCO, and to all TC participants including representatives of Axway, Bank of America, Deutsche Boerse, Goldman Sachs, Huawei, Kaazing, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, Primeton, Progress Software, Red Hat, Software AG, US Dept of Homeland Security, and VMware for this accomplishment.

Abbie Barbir of Bank of America serves as convener; a TC chair or two co-chairs will be elected at the first meeting, which will be held by teleconference on 4 Dec.

TC members include SecureKey Technologies, Tiani "Spirit", Canada Office of the Information & Privacy Commissioner of Ontario, and others. Dawn Jutla of Saint Mary’s University serves as convener; a TC chair or two co-chairs will be elected at the first meeting, which will be held by teleconference on 5 Dec.

AMQP Bindings and Mappings TC forms

This group will define bindings of AMQP 1.0 core protocol to underlying transports other than TCP and will define mappings of the AMQP 1.0 core protocol to well-known programming APIs. It will also describe representations of the AMQP 1.0 message format in existing languages. Laurie Bryson of JPMorgan Chase is the convener; a TC chair or two co-chairs will be elected at the first meeting, which will be held by teleconference on 27 Nov.
