Object Management Group Update

Cross-posting from my RTI blog:

Perhaps the most important milestone for DDS followers was the recommendation for adoption of the new specification Extensible and Dynamic Topic Types for DDS (sometimes abbreviated “DDS-XTypes”). I wrote about DDS-XTypes late last year; it will make it much easier for DDS users to upgrade and evolve their systems over time. It will also enable whole new categories of plug-and-play tools and integration components — such as database connectors, recorders, and bridging/routing services — to be developed in a way that’s portable and interoperable across DDS implementations, increasing the size and diversity of the DDS marketplace and increasing competition. RTI was a lead author of this specification, and a number of the capabilities defined in it are available in pre-standard form in RTI Data Distribution Service today.
