REST-style Actionscript programming interface for message distribution using Amazon Simple Queue Service

Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) is a message-oriented middleware in the cloud using software as a service model. It aims to eliminate the traditional overhead associated with operating in-house messaging infrastructures by providing reduced costs, simplified access to messaging resources, scalability and reliability. In order to provide those benefits Amazon SQS leverages cloud resources such as storage, network, memory, processing capacity. Using virtually unlimited cloud computing resources, an Amazon SQS provides an internet scale messaging platform. This paper presents benefits and examples of Amazon SQS programming interface developed in Actionscript 3.0 object-oriented programming language. This interface was developed to enable Adobe Flex mobile developers to facilitate integration efforts within organizations and between them using mobile devices (tablets and smartphones).
