http://mosquitto.org/ - lightweight publish/subscribe protocol for sending short event messages - suited for low level machine2machine communications (specific implementations for Arduino and other low power devices) - supported by IBM (eclipse plugin)
Firstly, I'd point that that with it's vast territory and low population density, Australia has to adopt remote telemetry. This is a natural market for any low power sparse sensor coverage. Given the high relative communications cost, a lightweight protocol is a given. Secondly, there are 2 general system architectures. SMTP is based on a store/forward paradigm (for lossless message transmission). The alternate is a publish/subscribe paradigm with assumptions that unreliable components mean messages may be repeatedly requested. And last, it's still a relatively unexplored area (not quite blue ocean) rather than the red sea of Web 2.0 ... I've talked before about technology waves like surfing ... you have to spot the incoming swells and start paddling like crazy to time the crest (free publicity, liquidity events, etc) Lawrence http://nz.linkedin.com/in/drllau -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Silicon Beach Australia mailing list.
