According to this article, IBM is open-sourcing an 'internet-of-things' protocol. "It is being called Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol (see also), the machine-to-machine counterpart of HTTP." The proposal explains, "While smart objects and physical world systems are often integrated with Enterprise and Web middleware today, it is often done using proprietary integration models and combinations of a prolific number of custom protocols and industry standards." This proposal cuts through that web of proprietary standards. As Marc Canter commented in G+, "This is IT - this is the protocol we'll all be using..." (no link, sorry). I'm still looking for confirmation - I've found none on the IBM or MQTT sites - I'll update if that changes.
