    What is Middleware? An overview of Communications Middleware and DDS

    This paper explores the features of Communications Middleware (including DDS) providing a foundation of the role of middleware in software development.

    What DDS Can Do For You?

    This paper explores the features of DDS as compared to other common communications technologies such as JMS, CORBA, and sockets; and examines the specific features of CoreDX DDS that make it feasible for resource constrained embedded systems where other DDS solutions may not fit.

    DDS Interoperability Strategies

    The paper explores the different Interoperability aspects of DDS, and how this Interoperability may be used to reduce the cost and risk of your new or existing software project.

    CoreDX DDS for Multi-core Platforms

    This paper explores the CoreDX DDS multi-threaded architecture which ensures that CoreDX DDS can take full advantage of multi-processor systems. By distributing the data communication tasks across multiple processing cores, overall system performance can be significantly improved.

    CoreDX DDS Sample and Instance Management

    This paper is written for software developers and architects that are already familiar with the DDS technology, and can benefit from learning more about the management of instances and samples within CoreDX DDS.

    What can DDS do for Android?

    Communications Middleware like CoreDX DDS provides numerous benefits to distributed software systems, and these benefits can now be taken advantage of by Android apps. This paper provides background information on Communications Middleware, DDS, CoreDX DDS, and Interoperability, and describes how these concepts apply and add benefit to Android projects.

    Resource Utilization in Embedded Platforms

    Gaining insight into memory utilization within your infrastructure components is necessary for architects and engineers as they develop and deploy these systems, but this can be particularly challenging when using commercial software. Mismanaged system resources can lead to reduced scalability, poor performance, and increased deployment costs.
    Using the standardized Data Distribution System (DDS) technology as an example, this paper describes the concepts and tools necessary to determine and analyze the resource utilization of middleware components in embedded systems.

    CoreDX DDS Troubleshooting, 2021

    The power of the CoreDX DDS technology comes from its flexibility to adapt to incredibly complex and challenging network environments. While using CoreDX DDS for basic communications is a trivial activity, using the more robust and powerful features in a large networked system can quickly become a complex activity. In these scenarios, it is critical to have proven techniques and tools that are straightforward and easy to use, and have the power to analyze, diagnose, and elegantly report the communications details of your system.
