This rfp solicits submissions identifying and defining mechanisms to achieve integration between data_distribution_service_dds infrastructures and tsn networks. The goal is to provide all artifacts needed to support the design, deployment and execution of DDS systems over TSN networks.

The DDS-TSN integration specification sought shall realize the following functionality:

• Define mechanisms that provide the information required for TSN-enabled networks to calculate any network schedules needed to deploy a DDS system.
• Identify those parts of the set of the IEEE TSN standards that are relevant for a [DDS-TSN] integration and indicate how the DDS aspects are mapped onto, or related to, the associated TSN aspects. Examples include TSN standardized information models for calculating system-wide schedules and configuring network equipment.
• Identify and specify necessary extensions to the [DDSI-RTPS] and [DDS-SECURITY] specifications, if any, to allow DDS infrastructures to use TSN enabled networks as their transport while maintaining interoperability between different DDS implementations.
• Identify and specify necessary extensions to the DDS and [DDS-XML] specification, if any, to allow declaration of TSN-specific properties or quality of service attributes.
