Data-Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems (DDS) Survey

The OMG, with support from member company PrismTech, is conducting a survey designed to provide an improved perspective on the current and planned implementations of the Data-Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems (DDS) standard, its perceived and achieved benefits, and areas where improvements may be needed. If your organization currently or plans to operate, maintain or build a mission critical system, please consider responding to the survey. It’s quick, easy, and responses will be shared publicly. Those who take the survey and provide their email addresses will be emailed a link to the results.

The results will be posted to the OMG web site, and will be made available at a Technical Meeting once the results are finalized. Click here to access the survey.

About DDS

The OMG-adopted DDS standard is the first open middleware standard that directly addresses distributed, mission critical systems—those systems where the loss or latency of data can result in loss of life, financial disaster or social harm. These systems can include shipboard combat management system for the military; network management systems for commercial telecommunications; industrial control systems; or any number of computer systems related to homeland security, healthcare or financial institutions.

The common factor in mission critical systems is their need for real-time, fault-tolerant, low-overhead middleware, and associated application development tools. Due to the scalability limits and single point-of-failure topologies of traditional client-server architectures, DDS specifies a publish/subscribe paradigm by which applications can dynamically connect to an “information backbone” in order to publish and/or subscribe to information.

DDS provides a means for applications to share information by simply reading and writing data-objects addressed by means of an application-defined name (Topic) and a key, and coordinates data dissemination—taking into account multiple and dynamic Quality of Service (QoS) requirements with respect to performance criteria such as delivery (latency, reliability) and durability (history, persistence).
