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.

This video describes how Data Distribution Service (OMG DDS) eases application integration. See a demo of how existing applications on Windows, Linux, and even web applications can be easily integrated with new platforms such as the Android.

RTI announces the rollout of the 2011 DDS Road Show, a series of half- and full-day seminars that demonstrate how Data Distribution Service (DDS) middleware can dramatically improve the way mission-critical, distributed systems are developed, integrated, and maintained.

RTI announced that its Data Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems (DDS) middleware now supports Wind River's VxWorks 653 real-time operating system (RTOS). This first combination of DDS-compliant middleware with an ARINC 653 compliant RTOS dramatically reduces the time and cost required to develop and integrate distributed avionics software and also drives down lifecycle costs by supporting standards-compliant programming interfaces and protocols.

RTI's latest video provides a brief introduction to the concepts of data-centric architecture, and to the Data Distribution Service (DDS) specification and technology. In very high-level terms and examples, we define what is data-centricity, why it's a good way to build and integrate systems and how DDS specifically expresses data-centric architecture.

RTI announces the DDS Technology Network, a new program to provide government researchers with affordable access to Data Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems (DDS) middleware and expertise. This professional network brings together researchers working on distributed real-time systems, providing them with a complete suite of standards-compliant middleware, source code, training, consulting and access to the largest community of DDS users.

RTI announced the availability of RTI Monitor, a graphical software tool that provides real-time visibility into systems that use RTI Data Distribution Service. RTI Monitor collects information and analyzes data flows, errors and network traffic, and functions as a configurable dashboard for real-time display of system data.
