Subject: [PROPERLY FORMATTED] Call for Participation: OASIS AdvancedMessageQueuing Protocol (AMQP) Technical Committee
Apologies for reposting - the announcement form took all the spacing off the lists and distorted the readability of the lists. OASIS members & interested parties, A new OASIS technical committee is being formed. The OASIS Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) Technical Committee has been proposed by the members of OASIS listed in section 2.d of the charter below. The TC name, statement of purpose, scope, list of deliverables, audience, IPR mode and language specified in the proposal will constitute the TC's official charter. Submissions of technology for consideration by the TC, and the beginning of technical discussions, may occur no sooner than the TC's first meeting. The eligibility requirements for becoming a participant in the TC at the first meeting are: (a) you must be an employee of an OASIS member organization or an individual member of OASIS, and (b) you must join the Technical Committee, which you may do by using the "Join this TC" button on the TC's home page at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/amqp/. To be considered a voting member at the first meeting, you must: (a) join the Technical Committee at least 7 days prior to the first meeting (by 7 October 2011); and 
(b) you must attend the first meeting of the TC, at the time and date fixed below (14 October 2011). Participants also may join the TC at a later time. OASIS and the TC welcomes all interested parties. Non-OASIS members who wish to participate may contact us about joining OASIS. See http://www.oasis-open.org/join/. In addition, the public may access the information resources maintained for each TC: a mail list archive, document repository and public comments facility, which will be linked from the TC's public home page at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/amqp/. Please feel free to forward this announcement to any other appropriate lists. OASIS is an open standards organization; we encourage your participation. --- (1) Charter of the Technical Committee (a) Name of the TC OASIS Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) Technical Committee (TC). (b) Statement of Purpose The purpose of the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) Technical Committee (TC) is to define an open internet protocol for business messaging. Salient business messaging requirements are: - Ubiquity - Open internet protocol standard supporting unencumbered (a) use, (b) implementation, and (c) extension. - Clear and unambiguous core functionality for business message routing and delivery within internet infrastructure - so that business messaging is provided by infrastructure and not by integration experts. - Low barrier to understand, use and implement. - Fits into existing enterprise messaging applications environments in a practical way. - Safety - Infrastructure for a secure and trusted global transaction network. - Consisting of business messages that are tamper-proof. - Supporting message durability independent of receivers being connected, and - Message delivery is resilient to technical failure. - Supports business requirements to transport business transactions of any financial value. - Sender and receiver roles are mutually agreed upon by counter parties – no possibility for injection of spam. - Fidelity - Well-stated message queuing and delivery semantics covering: at-most-once; at-least-once; and once-and-only-once aka 'reliable'. - Well-stated message ordering semantics describing what a sender can expect (a) a receiver to observe and (b) a queue manager to observe. - Well-stated reliable failure semantics so all exceptions can be managed. - Applicability - As TCP subsumed all technical features of networking, we aspire for AMQP to be the prevalent business messaging technology (tool) for organizations so that with increased use, ROI increases and TCO decreases. - Any AMQP client can initiate communication with, and then communicate with, any AMQP broker over TCP. - Any AMQP client can request communication with, and if supported, negotiate the use of alternate transport protocols (e.g. SCTP, UDP/multicast), from any AMQP broker. - Provides the core set of messaging patterns via a single manageable protocol: asynchronous directed messaging, request/reply, publish/subscribe, store and forward. - Supports hub and spoke messaging topology within and across business boundaries. - Supports hub to hub message relay across business boundaries through enactment of explicit agreements between broker authorities. - Supports Peer to Peer messaging across any network. - Interoperability - Stable core (client-broker) wire protocol so that brokers do not require upgrade during 1.x feature evolution: Any 1.x client will work with any 1.y broker if y >= x. - Stable extended (broker-broker) wire protocol so that brokers do not require upgrade during 1.x feature evolution: Any two broker versions 1.x, 1.y can communicate using protocol 1.x if xhttps://www.amqp.org/resources/download - This link contains the latest version; the final version is expected soon. (2) Non-normative information regarding the startup of the TC (a) Similar Work Some of the existing messaging protocol standards include ebXML, Web Services Reliable Exchange (WS-RX), and XMPP. Some of the defining characteristics of AMQP as compared to those protocols are: - It is a binary protocol that operates directly over TCP (instead of over HTTP). - It incorporates efficient binary encodings of the protocol (as opposed to XML). Some of the general characteristics of AMQP are: - It is API agnostic, but has been designed for integration into existing mainstream messaging and integration technologies including Java Message Service and Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation, so that interoperability between them is possible. - It has been designed to be used with a broker; providing a safe place to exchange messages with 3rd party systems, and to store and forward messages when the recipient is unavailable. - It brings together frequently used combinations of message exchange patterns in one protocol (asynchronous publish/subscribe and direct delivery patterns such as queuing) that incorporates message level flow control. In summary, AMQP sets out to provide efficient, high performance, internet scale business messaging. This translates into: a reliable binary transport for sending and receiving messages over WAN and LAN, that integrates with existing messaging products, but can scale to the needs of modern environments such as "cloud applications". (b) Date, Time, and Location of First Meeting The first meeting of the AMQP TC will be a face-to-face meeting to be held in New York on October 14, 2011 from 9 AM ET to 5 PM ET. This meeting will be sponsored by JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. (c) On-Going Meeting Plans & Sponsors It is anticipated that the AMQP TC will meet via teleconference every week for 60 minutes at a time determined by the TC members during the TC's first meeting. It is anticipated that the AMQP TC will meet face-to-face every 2-3 months at a time and location to be determined by the TC members. The actual pace of face-to-face and teleconference meetings will be determined by TC members. One of the proposers, as listed below, will sponsor the teleconferences unless other TC members offer to donate their own facilities.
