Smart Real-World Systems

• Smart Systems are: – Distributed

• Computers working together closely

– Real-Time • Fast enough to react to the real world

– Applications • As a single, intelligent system

• Smart Systems will: – Change many industries

• Smart Systems need: – Easy, fast, powerful, flexible…middleware


Application

Middleware

Network stack

What & Why is Middleware?

• What? – Middleware is a layer

between application and network stack

– It presents a more powerful API to the application

– It handles connections, failures, changes

• Why? – Simpler conceptual model

– Easier programming

– Seamless interoperability

– Control communications “Quality of Service” (QoS)

DDS – Third Generation Middleware


Computers are networked today

But most applications are weakly

connected

The enterprise is connected

through central brokers or web

services

The DDS fully decentralized,

peer-to-peer implementation

eliminates bottlenecks

DDS middleware builds a

scalable, high performance,

reliable infrastructure

Peer-to-Peer

Why Not Use TCP? (or C37.118, 61850)

• Rigid reliability

protocol

• No multicast

• No OOB data

• Only global timeouts

• Can‟t do real time,

can‟t filter

• Does not scale

• No prioritization

• Can‟t handle varying

delivery QoS needs


Not intended for mission-critical real time

Why Not Use UDP?

• No reliability

• No discovery (where‟s the data?)

• No queuing or buffering

• No loss detection

• Must keep track of who needs the data

• Inefficient use of network resources


3rd Generation: Distributed Data

• Data Bus

– Distributed, re-

locatable, modular

services

– No central

bottleneck or failure

– Efficient, scalable

distribution

– Flexible evolution


Data Bus


The DDS Standard

• OMG Data Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems

• Content and time aware – Efficient, easy integration

• Per-channel delivery QoS – Right data, right place, right time

• Transparent connectivity – C, C++, Java, .NET, Ada

– Windows, Linux, Unix, embedded, real-time

DDS Adoption

• Dominant in military – DISA: DISR mandated

– Navy: Open Architecture, FORCEnet

– Air Force, Navy and DISA: NESI

– Army, OSD: UCS

– NATO, UK MOD, South Korea, many more

• Many other applications – Air traffic control, industrial

automation, transportation, medical

• Hundreds of active programs

• Multiple interoperable implementations

"In the past we

probably would have

developed an expensive,

proprietary system for data

communications.

By using RTI, we were

able to deliver a proven,

reliable and cost effective

solution to our customers.“

--Peter Jarvis,

Chief Designer

Air Traffic Control

The ATLANTIDA consortium is a

group of 34 organizations

designing air traffic management

for Europe. They use RTI

middleware to integrate civilian,

military, and unmanned aircraft

into a coordinated airspace.

DDS will be used in both ground

stations and unmanned

vehicles.

RTI middleware cleanly

specifies interfaces between

module. It defines the dataflow

that coordinates the large,

distributed team.


Harmonic Video-on-Demand

DDS offered a richer feature

set than other solutions.

Also enables scalability

and future extensibility of

the system

Standard commercial off-

the-shelf middleware was

key to meeting tight

schedule, lowering costs

NASA Robotic Systems NASA‟s Human-Robotic

Systems Project is building

four prototype robots that will

someday operate on

extraterrestrial surfaces.

The project coordinates four

NASA centers building four

different robots. They

operate in realistic

Medical Imaging

“RTI delivered great functionality at a low

cost. Using RTI middleware saved us a lot

of money, time, and effort compared to our

previous in-house developed solution.”

RTI powers Varian‟s entire

NMR and MRI product

lines

A single MRI receiver can

saturate a 1Gbit network.

An instrument may have

16…

RTI‟s flexible and powerful

QoS optimizes network

use

RTI middleware handles

megabytes of data

Cancer Treatment


Still Rivers‟s PBRT (Proton

Beam Radiation Therapy)

system zaps tumors with

accelerated protons.

The treatment must be

continuous for 30-40 days;

downtime endangers

treatment success.

Still River built the world‟s

smallest, reliable,

autonomous, turn-key,

therapist-operated PBRT

system in record time.

High-Speed Trading

Some of the world‟s largest trading companies, including:

Citigroup

PIMCO

use RTI for market-data distribution

RTI feeds price-prediction engines and automated trading applications

RTI middleware provides competitive advantage because it delivers low latency under load

“RTI provided the most consistent performance, with no latency spikes

even under times of peak volume”. -Dr. Carlos O’Ryan, CTO


Sports Betting

Xuenn provides gaming and

sports betting software

infrastructure

Replaced incumbent software

to meet high performance and

scaling requirements

RTI carries high volume of

real-time data required for

sports betting and odds-feed

systems


Traffic Monitoring in Tokyo

Transportation

Real-time information to

commuters and officials

Hundreds of traffic monitors

and information kiosks

along the highway

Variety of server & client

platforms, via links varying

in bandwidth & location

RTI supports wide-area

deployment


Cloud Transport

• Cloud applications need a

fast, easy-to-provision

transport

• Example: video

conferencing system

– Leverage DDS to allow many-

to-many live video streams

with minimal hardware cost

• DDS provides scalable

connections for scalable

cloud designs


Mobile Asset Tracking

Transportation

Wi-Tronix systems wirelessly monitor high-value mobile assets such as locomotives, industrial equipment and marine vessels

RTI addressed critical issues such as tuneability and discovery process over a wireless network

Proved that RTI middleware works effectively over lossy wireless networks.


Automotive Safety

The VW Driver Assistance

& Integrated Safety

system provides steering

assistance when

swerving to avoid

obstacles, detects when

the lane narrows or

passing wide loads, and

helps drivers to safely

negotiate bends.

What is DDS?

• DDS is the Data-Centric Messaging Bus

– Like a hardware bus, you can plug & play

components

– Like a database, it integrates with a data model

– Like messaging middleware, it naturally connects

distributed components

• So…

– DDS builds systems from plug & play distributed

components that share a data model

Precise Interface Control

• QoS Contracts control information flow – Reliability, filtering, liveliness, resources

• Per-data-stream control optimizes network use

• Real-time notification ensures deterministic behavior

The Software Data Bus

• Crisply-defined interfaces decouple components

– Add or subtract any time

– No startup dependencies or ordering

– No data-transfer “surprises”

– Transparent scaling

• The data bus enables incremental composition

– Plug and play

Changing the communication between the modules can ease integration, when

the new „Publish Subscribe‟ approach is used – each module publishes its

output w/o regard to who is receiving it, in contrast to the point-to-point

approach of traditional inter-process communication

It‟s about an architecture that can assimilate evolving functionality,

rather than remaining set in time
