The OMG DDS (Data Distribution Service) is a standard for data
distribution which is widely used as the foundation for operational
systems such as air traffic control and management, combat systems,
distributed telemetry and control, etc. On the other hand, HLA (High
Level Architecture) is a communication and coordination standard which
is widely adopted in the distributed simulation community.
DDS is increasingly gaining adoption in distributed simulation,
especially for those systems that require high throughput, low
latencies and scalability. In addition, the use of DDS in simulation
provides native interoperability between operational and simulated
systems, thus eliminating integration overhead and complexities.
This presentation introduces DDS and HLA, provide an apple-to-apple
comparison between the two standards and show how DDS and HLA systems
can be seamlessly integrated together.
NADS presents SimWare HLA. The one and only HLA that runs over DDS without gateways. Use main simulation architecture over the best real time communication layer.
Siso LSA is a new study group looking for convergence of architectures for distributed simulation. LSA is trying to take advantage of OMG DDS standard to achieve this goal.
The OMG has recently standardized a UML Profile for DDS. This brief tutorial, which was presented at the OMG RTWS 2009, provides you with an introduction to the standard.
This presentation introduces the key concepts at the foundation of DDS, the data distribution service for real-time systems. Wether you are a new to DDS or a relatively experienced user, you'll find this presentation a good source of information.

Mobile wireless project at Wa. Dept. of Natural Resources (DNR). Expanding access to data, particularly GIS, beyond the area of common cellular wireless to include P25 radio. DNR staff will be able to access data on their mobile devices even beyond cellular because the DNR vehicle becomes a mobile hot spot.
As a leading innovator, you selected DDS to solve a complex communications challenge. Good choice! Now you recognize that your challenge is evolving: you need to consider adding more mobile and embedded devices into the network. The resource requirements of your DDS middleware are becoming a crucial factor. Even if you wanted your vendor to port to the rapidly expanding field of hand-held and mobile embedded devices, you wonder - will your applications still fit and run with needed performance levels within the memory footprint and CPU cycle constraints?
Your management or your client is now requesting you handle some new and interesting hardware and software, mobility solutions while bringing in data from new sources. To do this you might be able to select higher memory versions and/or faster CPU versions of the new devices in order to achieve the performance you need. Or you might be forced to drop features and functionality so that your DDS enabled application fits and provides acceptable performance. Either your costs go up or you leave out features. Do you really want to make that trade off? What options exist now?
Fortunately, one of the great strengths of the DDS standard is that it is open and provides interoperability between DDS versions from other suppliers. That’s one of the reasons your choice of DDS was a good one!
Twin Oaks Computing (www.twinoakscomputing.com) has designed its implementation from the ground up especially for resource constrained environments. CoreDX DDS is a high-performance implementation of the OMG Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard. The CoreDX DDS Publish-Subscribe messaging infrastructure provides high-throughput, low-latency data communications in an extremely small footprint.
CoreDX DDS applications can easily communicate with applications based on DDS from other vendors. This multi-vendor interoperability is enabled by multiple standards managed by the Object Management Group (OMG), including specifications of the application programming interface (API), real-time publish subscribe wire protocol (RTPS), and quality of service (QoS) features. CoreDX DDS includes proven support across all of these interoperability aspects. Twin Oaks has publicly demonstrated CoreDX DDS interoperability with RTI DDS and OpenSplice DDS.
Interoperability is particularly important for systems that are deployed for long periods of time, often measured in the decades, before they can be upgraded or replaced. Maintaining these systems through individual component failures, and ever changing and expanding requirements is hard. Interoperable middleware technologies like DDS make this challenge easier.

This paper presents NCWare, a new software abstraction layer developed by NEXTEL ENGINEERING that combines HLA and DDS standards providing interoperability between them.
Presentation from October 2012 RTI Technical Road Show.
Agenda Highlights:
How the DDS standard fosters information sharing and interoperability across systems of systems while driving down development, integration, maintenance, upgrade and acquisition costs
The latest 5.0 release of RTI's DDS solution and future roadmap, including enhanced security, support for integration patterns common in C2 systems, FAA DO-178C Level A certification, and DDS standardization initiatives
RTI's new Open Community Source license, which provides free-of-charge access to RTI DDS and allows it to be freely shared across projects and organizations
The OMG DDS standard has been witnessing a very strong adoption as the distribution middleware of choice for a large class of mission and business critical systems, such as Air Traffic Control, Automated Trading, SCADA, Smart Energy, etc.
The main reason for choosing DDS lies in its efficiency, scalability, high-availability and configurability -- through the 20+ QoS policy. Yet, all of these nice properties come at the cost of a relaxed consistency model no strong guarantees over global invariants.
As a result, many architects have to devise, by themselves – assuming the DDS primitives as a foundation – the correct algorithms for classical problems such as fault-detection, leader election, consensus, distributed mutual exclusion, atomic multicast, distributed queues, etc.
In this presentation we will explore DDS-based distributed algorithms for many classical, yet fundamental, problems in distributed systems. For simplicity, we'll start with algorithms that ignore the presence of failures. Then we will (1) demonstrate how these algorithms can be extended to deal with failures, and (2) introduce Paxos as one of the fundamental algorithm for consensus and atomic broadcast.
Finally, we'll show how these classical algorithms can be used to implement useful extensions of the DDS semantics, such as multi-writer / multi-reader distributed queues.
DDS in SCADA, Utilities, Smart Grid and Smart CitiesAngelo Corsaro
This presentation introduces the challenges faced by next generation SCADA, Utilities, and Smart-* applications and show how OpenSplice DDS addresses theses. The presentation also showcases the use of OpenSplice DDS in some relevan use cases.
The Data Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems (DDS) is an Object Management Group (OMG) standard for publish/subscribe designed to address the needs of a large class of mission- and business-critical distributed real-time systems and system of systems. The DDS standard was formally adopted in 2004 and in less than five years from its inception has experienced swift adoption in a wide variety of application domains. These application domains are characterized by the need to distribute high volumes of data with predictable low latencies, such as, Radar Processors, Flying and Land Drones, Combat Management Systems, Air Traffic Management, High Performance Telemetry, Large Scale Supervisory Systems, and Automated Stocks and Options Trading. Along with wide commercial adoption, the DDS Standard has been recommended and mandated as the technology for real-time data distribution by key administrations worldwide such as the US Navy, the DoD Information-Technology Standards Registry (DISR), the UK MoD, and EUROCONTROL.
This two-part Tutorial will cover most of the key aspects of DDS to ensure that you can proficiently start using it for designing or developing your next system. In brief this tutorial will get you jump-started into DDS.
Addressing the Challenges of Tactical Information Management in Net-Centric S...Angelo Corsaro
This paper provides an overview of the advantages provided by the OMG Data Distribution Service for Real-Time Systemts (DDS) for addressing the challenges associated with Tactical Information distribution.
Know how LSA propose solving the interoperability problems in simulation by using DDS. DDS is an already-proven real-time standard for the communication layer.
This presentation of the paper with the same title was shown in Siso Spring 2013.
What are the issues integration in integrating sensor nets and other distributed systems collecting and sharing real time data? How does RTI's Data Distribution Service address the integration needs without sacrificing the real-time collaboration constraints?
The Data Distribution Service (DDS) technology may not be as well known or understood as other middleware communications technologies like Corba, JMS, Web Services or even traditional sockets that are key components of nearly all distributed applications. Developers everywhere are familiar with these conventional data communications solutions, and may be comfortable customizing them to their particular domain and application. However, the flexibility and configurability of DDS makes it a better solution for applications in a wide variety of industries, from enterprise servers to deeply embedded applications.
This paper focuses on the DDS technology in embedded environments and compares it with Sockets, Corba, JMS, and SOA Web Services.
High Performance Distributed Computing with DDS and ScalaAngelo Corsaro
The past few years have witnessed a tremendous increase in the amount of real-time data that applications in domains, such as, web analytics, social media, automated trading, smart grids, etc., have to deal with. The challenges faced by these applications, commonly called Big Data Applications, are manifold as the staggering growth in volumes is com- plicating the collection, storage, analysis and distribution of data. This paper focuses on the collection and distri- bution of data and introduces the Data Distribution Ser- vice for Real-Time Systems (DDS) an Object Management Group (OMG) standard for high performance data dissemi- nation used today in several Big Data applications. The pa- per then shows how the combination of DDS with functional programming languages, or at least incorporating functional features like the Scala programming language, makes a very natural and effective combination for dealing with Big Data applications.
OpenSplice DDS enables seamless, timely, scalable and dependable data sharing between distributed applications and network-connected devices. Its technical and operational benefits have propelled adoption across multiple industries, such as Defence and Aerospace, SCADA, Gaming, Cloud Computing, Automotive, etc.
If you want to learn about OpenSplice DDS or discover some of its advanced features, this webcast is for you!
In this two-parts presentation we will cover most of the aspects tied to architecting and developing OpenSplice DDS systems. We will look into Quality of Services, data selectors concurrency and scalability concerns.
We will present the brand-new, and recently finalized, C++ and Java APIs for DDS, including examples of how this can be used with C++11 features. We will show how, increasingly popular, functional languages such as Scala can be used to efficiently and elegantly exploit the massive HW parallelism provided by modern multi-core processors.
Finally we will present some OpenSplice specific extensions for dealing very high-volumes of data – meaning several millions of messages per seconds.

Spanish Ministry of Defence (SP MoD) has developed in recent months the Technology and Innovation Strategy for Defense (ETID). The ETID concentrates on an important part of the R&D activities in Defense: the activities of Technological Research (T&R) and Innovation. Its work is, therefore, to advance in the coordination and management of activities leading to acquisition and application of advanced knowledge and technologies, not yet sufficiently developed, establishing the bases for them to be applied in the near future armament and equipment systems required by the Spanish Armed Forces (SAF). ETID describes the technological analysis in three levels of detail (Functional Action Areas, Functional Action Lines and Technological Goals), which have been studied in order to make a coherent and systematic approach to the development of new technologies based on the operational requirements. .
In the M&S functional action line of the ETID, there are specific technological goals to improve M&S interoperability, enhanced modelization, and to develop new M&S technologies for a cost effective development of the future simulation systems.
Under this perspective “La Marañosa” Technological Institute (ITM) and NADS have partnered to develop an infrastructure to support the full life cycle of models, from conceptual specification and design to execution, test, versioning and storage in a repository. Based on SimWare Simulation framework and others third party COTS, and implementing M&S standards like IEEE HLA and an emerging standard like OMG DDS, this environment is created to support ITM’s efforts to create high fidelity models for different simulation applications, such as training, analysis or operational research

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
3. Simulation today: Use of different standards
HLA and DIS cover more than the 70%
TENA of the demand. Both are standards
OO design embraced by IEEE and SISO and
Information management known worldwide
Ownership
transfer These architectures have significant
Save & Restore
overlap in capabilities and
Initialize a Pass interactions requirements
federation
DIS
QOS Support
options Multiple message types
Resign Unreliable
Synchronize Networks
Event CTIA
ordering
Persistent
HLA Database
4. An assessment of HLA present capabilities
Wire protocol does not exist
A IEEE and NATO (Stanag 4603)
standards The entire standard tries to
limit communication
An accepted standard for
interoperating simulators QoS are very limited.
Has meta-data model (OMT) Lack of plug&play capacities.
Define rules for interoperability Performance is not enough for
massive data distribution
Many COTS from different across heterogeneous
vendors networks.
Services are part of HLA API is hard to use
No security standard
Model is rigid
6. DDS was born in 2003 as the real time backbone in Frigates…
… has now a full spectrum of applications
DDS en otros ámbitos industriales
– In simulation
– In RTES
– In Scada
– In Smart grids
Real time systems in
– In BI
Frigates
– In Medicine

SCALABILITY and FAULT TOLERANCE
• DDS has automatic discovery, is fully
publish-subscriber, no single point of
failure
• HLA is central server based: scalability
and fault tolerance are difficult
8. Why use DDS in Simulation?
LESS-THAN-PERFECT COMMUNICATIONS
• DDS has been proved over small
bandwidth (4800 bps in digital network
radios)
• DDS can cope with heterogeneous
networks
REAL TIME SIMULATION
• Military platforms use DDS as the
communication backbone
• Simulating with DDS can incorporate
this data in real time
10. HLA and DDS; DDS and HLA: the odd couple?
SimWare has put
together the
simulation stardard
–HLA- plus the best
communication in
real time –DDS-
The result is called
SimWare RTI
11. SimWare RTI : The first RTI to join DDS with HLA RTI
HLA Run Time Infrastructure designed for real time
performance in large federations
IEEE 1516 HLA API for virtual and live simulations
Use DDS for Data Distribution functionality of an
HLA RTI with the features, performance, power and
reliability of OMG DDS standard
No gateways needed to connect HLA to DDS
Full HLA services support as required in virtual & live
simulations :
federation management
declaration management
object management
ownership management
12. Try now SimWare RTI 1.2!!!
• Includes complete SimWare 4.2
• Also include the new SimWare RTI 1.2; HLA running over DDS
without data bridges
