Andrew -

MQ Series is the underlying transport required to connect to CME. JMS can be used as a layer over the top of MQ as Jorge describes below. We are in the process of developing a web services interface to provide access to our Clearing 360 services but cannot say exactly when this will be ready. It should be later this year. We also offer UI access over our EOS application for users who choose not to build to the API.
