As a lot of you know, the DDS-RTPS interoperability protocol for DDS most frequently runs on top of UDP/IP. DDS implementations, RTI Data Distribution Service included, provide support for a number of other lower-level transport protocols. But UDP provides the greatest flexibility in terms of both reliability and timing, and it’s the transport that the [...]

DDS Road Show 2011 Kickoff
Posted in Events, Standards on March 22, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Today, we held the first of our DDS Road Show events in Boston. The room was filled with over 30 attendees, which exceeded our goal. Representative companies included Raytheon, Red Hat, GE Intelligence Solutions, MIT, Schneider Industrial Automation, Mitre and BAE. I’m particularly excited to see more and more interest in DDS outside the Defense [...]
New Video: DDS in a Nutshell
Posted in Best practices, Standards on February 23, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
A data-centric architecture helps you build and integrate systems efficiently and effectively — I’ve written about that before. And it’s all around you — even microblogging services like Facebook and Twitter depend upon it. Standards-based DDS technology is a great way to implement this approach: it’s fast, dynamic, and fault-tolerant. The cost savings can be [...]

The Data-Centric Modus Operandi
Posted in Best practices, Standards on August 16, 2010 | 4 Comments »
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

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 [...]
