“…In the discussion of related work Oki et al [1993]. state that they apply the ideas of publish/subscribe to objects that were proposed by Cheriton and Deering [1988] for multicast networking and by Birman and Thomas [1989] for building the ISIS replication manager. Following the acquisition of Teknekron by Reuters, the company was renamed into Tibco and The Information Bus is now merely known by its acronym TIB, which has the second largest share of the message-oriented middleware market.…”

The middleware market represents a sizable segment of the overall Information and Communication Technology market. In 2005, the annual middleware license revenue was reported by Gartner to be in the region of $8.5 billion. In this article we address the question whether research had any involvement in the creation of the technology that is being sold in this market? We attempt a scholarly discourse. We present the research method that we have applied to answer this question. We then present a brief introduction into the key middleware concepts that provide the foundation for this market. It would not be feasible to investigate any possible impact that research might have had. Instead we select a few very successful technologies that are representative for the middleware market as a whole and show the existence of impact of research results in the creation of these technologies. We investigate the origins of Web services middleware, distributed transaction processing middleware, message-oriented middleware, distributed object middleware and remote procedure call systems. For each of these technologies we are able to show ample influence of research and conclude that without the research conducted by PhD students and researchers in university computer science labs at Brown, CMU, Cambridge, Newcastle, MIT, Vrije, and University of Washington as well as research in industrial labs at APM, AT&T Bell Labs, DEC Systems Research, HP Labs, IBM Research, and Xerox PARC we would not have middleware technology in its current form. We summarise the article by distilling lessons that can be learnt from this evidenced impact for future technology transfer undertakings.

“…MQTT [9] is described as a lightweight broker-based publish/subscribe messaging protocol that was designed to allow devices with small processing power and storage, such as those which the IoT is composed of, to communicate over low-bandwidth and unreliable networks. The publish/subscribe message pattern [10], on which MQTT is based, provides for one-to-many message distribution with three varieties of delivery semantics, based on the level of QoS expected from the protocol. In the "at most once" case, messages are delivered with the best effort of the underlying communication infrastructure, which is usually IPbased, therefore there is no guarantee that the message will arrive.…”

Part 7: TPM and Internet of ThingsInternational audienceThe MQTT protocol has emerged over the past decade as a key protocol for a number of low power and lightweight communication scenarios including machine-to-machine and the Internet of Things. In this paper we develop a utility-based reputation model for MQTT, where we can assign a reputation score to participants in a network based on monitoring their behaviour. We mathematically define the reputation model using utility functions on participants based on the expected and perceived behaviour of MQTT clients and servers. We define an architecture for this model, and discuss how this architecture can be implemented using existing MQTT open source tools, and we demonstrate how experimental results obtained from simulating the architecture compare with the expected outcome of the theoretical reputation model

“…In fact, the paper published by [107] in the 1993 ACM SIGOPS Principles of Operating Systems Conference describes a publish/subscribe mechanism that is very similar to that used by the CORBA Event service. In the discussion of related work Oki et al state that they apply the ideas of publish/subscribe to objects that were proposed by [32] for multicast networking and by [19] for building the ISIS replication manager. Following the acquisition of Teknekron by Reuters, the company was renamed into Tibco and The Information Bus is now merely known by its acronym TIB, which has the second largest share of the message-oriented middleware market.…”
