Today's system's requirements include distributed and net-centric concepts and capabilities. The challenge is to rapidly and accurately distribute large amounts of information to large numbers of nodes, over a variety of transports, account for application level Quality of Service (QoS) all while realizing a decoupling data-centric software architecture. Traditional point-to-point integration technologies and techniques simply don't work in these large distributed environments.
This tutorial introduces the OMG Data Distribution Service (DDS) and highlights the standard's unique capabilities that address and solve these real-time distributed system integration challenges. Specifically, the talk will include an introduction to publish/subscribe concepts, an overview of the specification, DDS data-modeling capabilities, and many of the application level QoS polices and their uses in real-world applications. The tutorial will conclude with a simple demonstration highlighting key concepts covered.
