Get Hands-on with the IBM MQ AI Agent (lab)

Meet the IBM MQ Agent, your digital coworker for MQ operations. In this session you’ll be guided by the MQ Agent to investigate realistic problem scenarios, explore the associated MQ configuration, and interrogate the Agent’s extensive product domain knowledge. The lab will also demonstrate how recent MQ and Agent enhancements, such as remote retrieval of queue manager error log data, can be utilised to drive MQ insights and augment ops team skills to drive operational efficiency.

Key Takeaways:

  • Attendees will gain first-hand experience how AI can be applied to messaging components in a ‘production solution’ in identifying the root cause of a problem report.

Target Audience:

  • Administrators, developers, CTOs and leaders interested in operational efficiency.

The Future of MQTT - An Update from the Technical Committee

The success of MQTT has been astonishing; propelling itself from humble roots to become the world’s most adopted IoT messaging protocol. But how did we get here?, where is here?, and what’s next for MQTT? While these are important questions to explore, this session dives deeper into the evolution of MQTT and what the technical community are doing to keep up with the demands of the IoT industry. Most importantly, this is an open community - are you ready to help shape the future MQTT?

Key Takeaways:

  • MQTT began its standardisation journey in 2013 resulting in OASIS and ISO/IEC 20922 standard for MQTT 3.1.1. Later MQTT v5.0 was released and the Technical Committee are currently working on MQTT-SN. This family of IoT messaging protocols is often misunderstood in the messaging community. This session will deep dive into the standards journey, position the family of protocols and set out a vision for the future. The aim is to drive greater community engagement and to reach a bigger audience. A panel session might work as an alternative perhaps led by Simon and Clemens Vasters.

Target Audience:

  • Anyone interested in Messaging, MQTT powered and IoT solutions
