Data distribution is about observing a changing world. A system whose communication is based on this paradigm tends to become data-centric: it becomes more concerned with modeling the first-class concepts of its business domain and less concerned with managing second-class “who-told-whom-to-do-what” middleware concepts like queues and messages. Along the way, it enjoys the benefits of decreased coupling and improved reliability, scalability, and performance.

What is “Real-Time SOA?”
Posted in Best practices, Standards on June 1, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
RTI released a new white paper today that asks (and answers) the question, “What Is Real-Time SOA?” Is it simply a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) built on faster Web services or a faster Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)? Or, do real-time systems require different technologies? The answers to these questions are becoming increasingly important as real-time [...]
OMG Update
Posted in Future directions, Standards on April 29, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Last month, the Object Management Group (OMG) held a technical meeting, sponsored in part by RTI, in Jacksonville, Florida. There were a lot of important developments, and I’d like to give you a short recap: Perhaps the most important milestone for DDS followers was the recommendation for adoption of the new specification Extensible and Dynamic [...]
New DDS Article in Dr. Dobbs
Posted in Standards on February 26, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
The journal Dr. Dobb’s has just published an introductory article on DDS. If you’re new to DDS or to real-time communications in general, take a look. It’s a quick read, and it does a good job of summarizing the rich functionality of DDS and the impressive performance relative to other technologies.
RTI Routing Service for DDS
Posted in Ecosystem, Product news, Standards on November 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The Object Management Group (OMG) Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard is now five years old and has enjoyed very rapid adoption. RTI alone has about 400 commercial customers (a sampling of which are listed here) and is supporting nearly 100 other research projects. With the maturity and broad adoption of DDS, we are seeing a [...]
In Progress at OMG: Extensible and Dynamic Types
Posted in Future directions, Standards on September 1, 2009 | 1 Comment »
DDS is popular, and addresses a number of important use cases that are not addressed by other specifications, but that doesn’t mean it’s perfect. The DDS community — including both customers and vendors — is active within the OMG to address additional areas in need of standardization. I thought I’d share one of those areas [...]
Thinking Differently About Messaging
Posted in Best practices, Standards on June 3, 2009 | 1 Comment »
If you’re an old hand at messaging, but new to data distribution, the phrase “data-centric design” may sound like just a new way of describing the same old architectures. But data-centric and message-centric thinking differ in subtle-yet-important ways. Understanding those differences will help you pick the right tool for each job.
Data Transparency: Why You Should Care
Posted in Best practices, Standards on April 30, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Supreet had a great post recently about the importance of giving your data model significant design attention, just as you do your system’s performance, determinism, and functionality. (Indeed, you can hardly separate these things.) I’d like to take that theme a bit further, and talk about some of the things RTI Data Distribution Service can [...]
