Validating Vendor Interoperability in the DDS Standard - Upcoming Webinar


April 24, 2025 - 9am MDT

Applications built on DDS are designed to rapidly exchange data across multiple systems based on an open publish/subscribe protocol. Seamless data sharing is at the core of the Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard.

To ensure vendor interoperability across DDS implementations, the Object Management Group (OMG) DDS Special Interest Group (DDS SIG) recently conducted a series of comprehensive tests using the interoperability RTPS (Real-Time Publish Subscribe) protocol. These tests covered a wide range of DDS functionality and features across vendors. The test results and detailed reports are automatically generated in GitHub, providing specific insights into the interoperability status per vendor per feature.

This webinar will review the interoperability testing and discuss the results, as well as take questions from the audience.

CoreDX DDS Tips & Tricks


Welcome to this month's edition of CoreDX DDS Tips & Tricks, where our engineers provide quick bits of information to help our customers.

Configuring QoS at compile or run-time?

CoreDX DDS Entities (Domain Participants, Publishers, Subscribers, Topics, DataWriters, DataReaders) are configured using Quality of Service (QoS) policies specific to each entity.

DDS provides a standardized API for configuring DDS entities. CoreDX DDS applications can use this API to configure QoS configurations when DDS Entities are created, and for those QoS policies that allow it, the API may be used to modify QoS configurations during program execution.

Alternatively, QoS policies may be defined in XML, using the DDS standardized XML schema. These QoS policies can be loaded into the CoreDX DDS application at run-time, using the CoreDX DDS QoSProvider API. Loading QoS policies at run-time allows for changing DDS Entity configuration and behavior without re-compiling the CoreDX DDS application(s).

For more information about QoS policies or using the CoreDX DDS QoSProvider API, refer to the CoreDX DDS Programmer's Guide, chapters 13 (QoS Features) and 24 (QoSProvider).

CoreDX DDS Tips & Tricks are intended to be useful for engineers using CoreDX DDS. If you have any questions, please contact us.
