This document provides an overview of Real-Time Innovations (RTI) and their Data Distribution Service (DDS) technology. RTI is a leading provider of fast, scalable communication software for real-time systems. They introduce DDS, which provides data-centric publish-subscribe communication with real-time quality of service guarantees. DDS allows for massively scalable and secure connectivity between distributed applications. The presentation then covers RTI's Connext DDS product, which offers additional functionality like messaging, database integration and security on top of the DDS standard.

What’s the difference? State
• Things have attributes and
characteristics
– Meeting is from 11am - 1pm
on 3/6 in Fairfax
– Car is blue and travelling
north from Sunnyvale at 65
MPH
• … whether they exist in the
real-world, the computer, or
both
• … whether or not we
observe or acknowledge
them
“State” (“data”) is a snapshot
of those attributes &
characteristics
Best practice:
Operate on state directly, not
on dialogs about state

Data-Centric Model
“Global Data Space” generalizes Subject-Based Addressing
• Data objects addressed by Domain ID, Topic and Key
• Domains provide a level of isolation
• Topic groups homogeneous subjects (same data-type & meaning)
• Key is a generalization of subject

When Should I Use DDS? 3 Questions
• Is reliability critical?
– Downtime > 5 minutes = loss of life or property
• Is your system high performance?
– Response time measured in ms or us?
– Hundreds to thousands of apps
– Thousands to tens of thousands of data points
• Is your system lifespan > 3-5 years?
