Vendors Demonstrate Wire-Protocol
Interoperability of
OMG’s Data Distribution Service (DDS)
Needham, MA – May 10, 2011 – OMG® member
organizations and non-members have demonstrated
wire-protocol interoperability between different
implementations of its Data Distribution Service for
Real-Time Systems™ (DDS™) standard. The demonstration
successfully showed seamless data exchange under nine
different scenarios across applications running on five
independently developed DDS implementations: InterCOM® DDS
from Gallium, IBM WebSphere R3 Services Asset, OpenSplice
DDS from PrismTech, RTI Data Distribution Service from
Real-Time Innovations, and CoreDX DDS from Twin Oaks
Computing.
DDS middleware allows distributed applications to
communicate with each other by exchanging and sharing
real-time data. The DDS-standard wire protocol makes direct
communication possible between applications running on
different implementations of the DDS standard, providing
adopters with maximum flexibility and vendor independence.
DDS applications can communicate even if they are written in
different programming languages or running on different
operating systems or processor architectures. And because
DDS defines standard programming interfaces, application
software is also portable across different DDS
implementations.
“DDS has been embraced by hundreds of programs and
projects to address their real-time data distribution and
application integration requirements,” commented Richard
Mark Soley, Ph.D., chairman and CEO, OMG. “Multi-vendor
wire-protocol interoperability reduces integration costs and
increases vendor independence.”
“Gallium is delighted to have demonstrated multi vendor
wire protocol interoperability with our InterCOM® DDS
middleware. We have been fielding this software in mission
critical Defense and Security applications for more than ten
years now and are pleased to be able to demonstrate the
benefits of open standards middleware that meets the most
demanding performance requirements,” said Robert Aube, VP
Engineering at Gallium.
“Data interoperability is one of the most significant
barriers to federal, state and local inter-agency
collaboration and data sharing. The OMG DDS standard will
establish an open standards approach to sharing information
across diverse government IT systems,” said Andras R.
Szakal, VP & CTO, IBM US Federal.
“Multi-vendor interoperability demonstrations
illustrate DDS-based systems are truly open and vendor
independent,” said David Barnett, vice president, products
and markets at Real-Time Innovations (RTI). “This value
proposition is clearly resonating in the marketplace and has
resulted in RTI’s strong growth and significant broadening
into more industries and geographies.”
“Interoperability is a key requirement for many of the
large-scale mission critical systems that have adopted the
OMG DDS standard. This demonstration shows that
interoperability ‘really-works’ and establishes OMG DDS
as the one technology to use when performance, scalability
and interoperability are important,” commented Dr. Angelo
Corsaro, CTO, PrismTech.
“Twin Oaks Computing is proud to continue our support
for DDS interoperability," commented Clark Tucker,
President & CEO, Twin Oaks Computing, Inc. “Our
participation in each of the OMG interoperability events
underscores our commitment to interoperability and vendor
cooperation for the benefit of our customers.”
