Addressing Data Distribution Challenges
DDS is standard designed to address the data-distribution challenges across
The OMG DDS Standard a wide class of Defense and Aerospace Applications
‣ Introduced in 2004 to address the Data
Distribution challenges faced by a wide
class of Defense and Aerospace
Applications

‣ Key requirement for the standard were its
ability to deliver very high performance while
seamlessly scaling from embedded to ultra-
large-scale deployments
‣ Today recommended by key administration
worldwide and widely adopted across
several different application domains, such
as, Automated Trading, Simulations, SCADA,
Telemetry, etc.

OMG DDS Recommendations is churning…
! The infrastructure evolution cycle
– New -> Emerging -> Standard -> Commodity
– Middleware is emerging as
Mandated/Recommended by key Administrations OS declines
! …DDS is maturing…
‣ US Navy: Open Architecture focus
– OMG
– Wire spec

– Tools
‣ DISR/DISA: Net-centric Systems
– Enterprise integration
– Multiple products fielded
‣ EuroControl: Air Traffic Control Center Operational
– Deployed applications!
Interoperability
! …and adoption is on the rise
– Navy for VSI
‣ QinetiQ: Recommending DDS
– DISR
– FCS/SoSCOE
– Many significant applications

OMG DDS Adoptions
Adopted by Most Challenging International Programs

Topics and Data-Centric Pub/Sub
‣ Topics. Unit of information exchanged between
Publisher and Subscribers. Topic

‣ Data Types. Type associated to a Topic must be
a structured type expressed in IDL struct TempSensor {
long tID;
Topic Type float temp;
‣ Topic Instances. Key values in a datatype

float humidity;
uniquely identify a Topic Instance (like rows in };
table) #pragma keylist TempSensor tID

‣ Content Awareness. SQL Expressions can be tID temp humidity

Distributed Relational Information Modeling

‣ Topic Keys can be used to identify instances as well as relationships
‣ Relationships can be navigated by relying on a subset of SQL 92
‣ One-to-many relationships can be captured using foreign keys
‣ Many-to-many relationships need to be modeled using a topics

‣ Keys can be represented by an arbitrary number of Topic fields
