• Clarify user requirements and coordinate the evolution of the DDS specification, influence related specifications, and catalyze new specifications.
• Identify opportunities to further enhance and integrate DDS with other distributed-computing standards and help develop necessary collaboration/interoperation specifications.
• Educate, guide, and assist the community in the use of DDS technologies.
• Promote and evangelize the use of DDS technologies in the marketplace and seek additional opportunities for the technology.
