Spread vs MPI vs zeromq?

In one of the answers to Broadcast like UDP with the Reliability of TCP, a user mentions the Spread messaging API. I've also run across one called ØMQ. I also have some familiarity with MPI.

Tool for posting test messages onto a JMS queue?

Can anyone recommend a tool for quickly posting test messages onto a JMS queue? The tool should allow the user to enter some data, perhaps an XML payload, and then submit it to a queue?

What kind of technologies are available for sending text messages?

I'm looking into sending regular automated text-messages to a list of subscribed users. Having played with Windows Mobile devices, I could easily implement this using the compact .Net framework + a device hooked up to usb and send the messages through this. I would like to explore other solutions like having a server or something similar...

Is Async Messaging (In particular pub/sub style messaging) viable as a domain service architecture or only in an SOA-focused environment?

I have been researching asynchronous messaging, and I like the way it elegantly deals with some problems within certain domains and how it makes domain concepts more explicit. But is it a viable pattern for general domain-driven development (at least in the service/application/controller layer), or is the design overhead such that it sho...

I have a serial hardware device that I'd like to share with multiple applications, that may reside on different machines within or spanning multiple networks. A key requirement is that the system must support bi-directional communication, such that clients/serial device can exist behind firewalls and/or on different networks and still t...

Are PeopleSoft Integration Broker asynchronous messages fired serially on the receiving end?

I have a strange problem on a PeopleSoft application. It appears that integration broker messages are being processed out of order. There is another possibility, and that is that the commit is being fired asynchronously, allowing the transactions to complete out of order. There are many inserts of detail records, followed by a trail...

I have a client who wants a solution to allow delivery people to text (SMS messaging) in that they have completed a pick up at a particular location. What I'm looking for is Code to read an imbound SMS message or a SMS component if appropiate. This would allow me to create a windows service to read the message and update a SQL record ac...

Design question: How would you design a messaging/inbox system?

Many websites have the concept of sending messages from user to user. When you send a message to another user, the message would show up in their inbox. You could respond to the message, and it would show up as a new entry in that message thread. You should be able to see if you've read a given message already, and messages that hav...

Tibco & Windows Process Activation

I'm thinking about how I could scale out Tibco EMS queue listeners written in managed code (C# in this instance). I'm looking for predominantly isolation and clustering characteristics. In MSMQ I could use Windows Process Activation Service to host and manage the number and lifetime of queue listeners. Is there a Tibco equivalent? Oth...

what is JMS good for?

Hi, I'm looking for (simple) examples of problems for which JMS is a good solution, and also reasons why JMS is a good solution in these cases. In the past I've simply used the database as a means of passing messages from A to B when the message cannot necessarily be processed by B immediately. A hypothetical example of such a system i...
