Baseline statement of the relationship between AMQP and MQTT

John and I worked closely with Alex K. to get this quote honed to properly position MQTT as a technical standard that works within a single domain of authority versus a standard that addresses exchange of messages between and within domains of authority.

Proposed Charter for MQTT TC was sent on 14-Jan-13 by Chet Ensign of OASIS

The following text is in section 2(a) of the proposed charter:

The OASIS AMQP Technical Committee has released a specification that

provides for transaction and publish & subscribe messaging between

autonomous businesses, departments and applications using an open protocol

for enterprise middleware.  This MQTT TC complements the AMQP TC by

providing a means by which sensors, control systems, embedded systems and

mobile devices can publish and subscribe low-level, technically-orientated

data. There is natural affinity to bridge MQTT with AMQP, so as to connect

telemetry with enterprise applications.
