Sessions at IBM IMPACT 2011 about Telemetry on Tuesday 12th April

WebSphere MQ has recently been enhanced with the MQ Telemetry feature to enable vast numbers of devices to connect from the edge of the network. Interconnectivity is one of the key aspects to enabling smarter working and a Smarter Planet. As computing devices get cheaper, smaller and more powerful, the traditional view of messaging clients is changing, and the boundaries of messaging networks are being pushed further and further. There is a need to get messages to and from new kinds of client devices: from terminals and small server devices, through hand-held devices like smart phones and PDAs, down to sensors, and tiny embedded devices

This lab will introduce the new WebSphere MQ Telemetry feature and support in WebSphere MQ. Attendees will be able to learn about and get hands-on experience with the MQ Telemetry integration in WebSphere MQ Explorer. The lab will also demonstrate the practical basics of writing a telemetry application, based on a Smarter Transport scenario tracking vehicles around a transport network. Attendees will also write a simple Java application that emits and consumes MQTT messages, and learn how to handle and transform MQTT messages within WebSphere Message Broker.
