DDS is increasingly beiong adopted as the middleware and data-model of choice for vehicle integration and interoperability. Testament to that are the recent directives from the UK MOD (Def Stan 23-03) that standardize on DDS for the Land Data Model and the messaging integration, as well as the US OSD Unmanned Control Segment (UCS) architecture that also directs the use of DDS for Unmanned Vehicle integration.

The Teton Project, an ongoing Open Architecture (OA) initiative at Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems (NGES), has adopted the new OMG "DDS for Lightweight CCM" (DDS4CCM) standard as the foundational real-time component framework technology for its Scalable Node Architecture (SNA).  SNA is targeted at distributed, real-time, embedded (DRE) and high performance computing (HPC) applications and subsystem/system architectures.  This presentation offers the Teton Project's perspective on the advantages of DDS4CCM, a.k.a.

A new class of distributed systems are beginning to employ DDS technology. These systems are characterized by broad geographic distribution, high aggregate data volumes, and narrow data interest within any particular node or local application. This presentation describes a set of enhancements to DDS and DDS-RTPS to better support such systems, in particular in the areas of data filtering and service discovery.

This presentation provides an intro to DDS to JMS programmers as well as a simple and clear comparison of similarities and differences between these two technologies

It has been said that knowledge (information) is power, however, it is the distribution and consumption of information that creates value in the market place.

Standards based communications provides savings in the world of complex system integration. At the same time there are lingering perceptions that Standards can reduce competitive advantage.

This 45-slide tutorial was given at the May 2010 OMG Real-Time Workshop.

Approaches and techniques to integrating large-scale systems and systems of systems.

Analysis of the requirements of these systems and how specific features of DDS  can be leveraged to integrate these large systems. 

Monitoring a real-time distributed system for fault detection and identification is an extremely challenging problem. Faults may manifest themselves at a different node than where the actual error occurred, and may also be dependent on a particular sequencing of events and thus not easily reproducible. In addition the fault may be the loss of connectivity to some segment of the system, rendering a monitoring agent running in one segment of the system unable to communicate with other segments.
