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.
