Asynchronous Messaging with ØMQ

Seth Hays will give a presentation on ØMQ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%98MQ), a high-performance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-throughput_computing) asynchronous messaging (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_passing) library aimed at use in scalable distributed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_application) or concurrent applications. It provides a message queue (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_queue), but unlike message-oriented middleware (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message-oriented_middleware), a ØMQ system can run without a dedicated message broker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_broker). The library is designed to have a familiar socket (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_sockets)-style API.
