Software AG joins AMQP Working Group
We are pleased to announce that Software AG (maker of WebMethods) have joined the AMQP Working Group.
San Diego Conference Success
Thank you to all to attended this year's AMQP Conference and made it such a success! The core message was that the AMQP 1.0 Messaging Protocol is ready for prime time, with presentations from Red Hat, Microsoft, Cisco, UCSD, iNetCo, Credit Suisse, JPMorgan and Bank of America. The Ocean Observatory presentation by UCSD on their project and its use of AMQP was particularly well received. Presentations can be found here.
Informatica and VMware join AMQP Working Group
At the AMQP Working Group Conference in San Diego on June 8th, it was announced that both Informatica (which recently acquired 29 West) and VMware (whose SpringSource division recently acquired Rabbit Technologies) both joined as full members of the AMQP Working Group.
AMQP Working Group recognized in SD Times 100
We are delighted to have been chosen for a SD Times 100, 2010 award for innovation and leadership in the "SOA and Middleware" category. Thanks!
AMQP 1.0 - Build Me
AMQP 1.0 has been voted as "Recommended" status. This means that the protocol has reached the stage where it is stable enough to build product to. We expect middleware implementors to begin engineering products to the AMQP 1.0 specification.
Four Years of AMQP
Since its inception the AMQP Working group has grown to include 20 companies with the specification being improved through refinement, simplification and valuable insights from new members. Today AMQP is connecting hundreds of critical systems in Finance, Telecommunications, Defence, Manufacturing, Internet and Cloud Computing and many additional market segments.
Maturing from it's initial roots, there are now dozens of people from different firms working closely together toward the common goal of an open capable standard for message oriented middleware. AMQP is a collective work freely licensed from many authors from the large list of participants in signed up to the Working Group.

About AMQP
AMQP is an open Internet Protocol for Business Messaging.
The AMQP Working Group collaborate on specifications for messaging infrastructure that provides an facility for connecting messaging-dependent applications. AMQP's scope covers messaging within and between firms, with applicability to both business and infrastructure messaging. The resulting specifications are published here under royalty-free terms.
The AMQP messaging infrastructure will be:
- Totally open
- Platform agnostic
- Interoperable
- Broadly applicable
Some parts of the specification are in XML designed to help companies build implementations more quickly. These artifacts are Open Source, licenced under the BSD licence. All artifacts are freely downloadable from our Subversion repository.
Download the latest published Specifications or read about AMQP 1-0 Business Requirements, or check out the work in progress on AMQP 1.0.
| Why AMQP? |
What is AMQP? |
AMQP Model | Wire-Level Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Though many networking protocol needs have been addressed, a large gap exists in common guaranteed-delivery messaging middleware. AMQP fills that gap... | AMQP enables complete interoperability for messaging middleware, both the networking protocol and the semantics of broker services are defined in AMQP. | The AMQP model explicitly defines the server's semantics because interoperability demands the same semantics for any server implementation. | To enable technology-neutral interoperability, AMQP defines an efficient wire-level format with modern features. |
