Role of the DDS

� Focus is on information� That’s the stable factor

� Provides scalability� Through publish - subscribe

� Provides a database view with fast and efficient access to the data� Track database with keyed data types, queries & filters

� Provides tuneable data transport & data storage services� Latencies, reliability, durability

� Provides logical partitioning of Publishers and Subscribers� Training & simulation

� Enables replication of system state and application state� Fault tolerance & Dynamic application management
