Helllo,
I work on my Bachelor thesis about authentication in IoT and i talk about MQTT there.
On page http://mqtt.org/faq is writing about invent from 1999, but is somewhere evidence like paper or thesis from this year?
I searched for first publication about this protocol, but i found only something about MQTT-SN from 2007 or 2013 etc.
I need only reference about this paper to my thesis.
Thanks very much for your answers,
Roman

Roman,

MQTT wasn't an open standard until recently. It was a proprietary IBM
protocol for a while, then published as part of IBM's WebSphere
documentation.

So I think there are unlikely to be any published documents from 1999.

But would love to see a MQTT v1 document :)

Thank you both for answers.
I thought so, but still MQTT v1 document can be propably enough for me.
Unfortunately, i didn't even found that.

Hi Roman,

I wrote a While Paper on MQTT in 1999 (see link). Also realize as you are reading this is that originally, MQTT was call MQIpdp (MQ Integrator pervasive device protocol). I hope this is what you need for your thesis. BTW when you finish it I would really enjoy reading it.

OK - here’s a little treat for all the historians out there ;)

Here is the original MQTT v2.0 specification document, complete with discussion comments about aspects of the protocol.

As Arlen noted, MQTT has been through a few name changes in its history: OTWP, MQISDP, MQIPDP, MQTT!
(for the curious: On The Wire Protocol, Message Queuing Integrator - SCADA Device Protocol, Message Queuing Integrator - Pervasive Device Protocol, and Message Queuing Telemetry Transport)
It is now just called “MQTT”, i.e. it doesn’t stand for anything, that’s just its name.

And here is the original v3.0 specification, which is the first one that was properly published, i.e. formally placed in the public domain.

Note that v1.0 was not published - it was a working version between Arlen and me, and we had the first - Marconi style - publication from Kansas City US to Isle of Wight UK using that protocol in April 1999. 
I’d spent a week writing up the specification document, finished on the friday lunchtime, and spent the afternoon writing a perl implementation of it. Arlen had the same idea, and wrote an embedded C client.
Oops, then we realised we had both written a client, and we had no broker to publish to!
So I spent the next week writing a perl broker, so we could publish and subscribe to each other! The first edit of that is dated 12-Apr-99.

<sigh> #nostalgia

That's very interesting, thanks.

I think it's clear the most important change in the protocol from v2
to v3 was the colour scheme of the tables... :)

Just the other day I committed a change to the mosquitto_pub/sub
clients to remove the line "This requires a broker that supports MQTT
v3.1" from the documentation on usernames and passwords. That was
about my last trace of v3.0.

Cheers,

Roger

The first time I ran into it it was called ti - not the company - but telemetry integration
Good luck with your thesis.

Wow, I did not expect so many answers.
Thank you all very much, I'm sure it'll help me.
I wish you all a merry Christmas,
Roman
