The Object Management Group® (OMG®) is an international, open membership, not-for-profit technology standards consortium. Founded in 1989, OMG standards are driven by vendors, end-users, academic institutions, and government agencies.

The Real-Time Publish-Subscribe (RTPS) is the network communication protocol that enables real-time data exchange between distributed systems. In this webinar, we’ll provide an overview of RTPS and explore how it serves as the underlying wire protocol for DDS, enabling seamless and reliable data exchange in real-time, distributed systems.
 
We will discuss:
• The motivation behind RTPS
• The basics of RTPS messages and sub-messages
• RTPS discovery
• How DDS Security affects RTPS

Whether you're building autonomous vehicles, robotics, or mission-critical industrial applications, understanding RTPS is key to leveraging the full power of DDS. Join us to dive deeper into how RTPS ensures low-latency, scalable communication across your distributed systems.

RTPS: The Interoperable Wire Protocol for DDS Systems

Data Semantics should be at the core of all computing, and especially the sophisticated computing required in the financial sector for AI, complex analytics, and large-scale computing, but why are most institutions still struggling to get it right?.  After all, in the context of data, “semantics” refers to the study of meaning within data, and recognizing the true meaning of data by understanding the relationships between different data points and entities, There are multitudes of ontologies being fielded, from FIBO* to FIGI** and more, and data semantics are even written into the recent Financial Data Transparency Act,  but practically, as an industry we still have far to go to implement semantics – whether proprietary or standardized – into our enterprises and our work for maximum effect.  Few organizations are expert, and many are still trying to get started.

This webinar is for any business or technology professional who wants to understand financial semantics for data and how to put the technology, including existing standards, to work.

The Object Management Group’s Standards Development Organization (OMG) and the Enterprise Data Management Council (EDMC) have long been committed to enabling banks and other financial institutions to incorporate semantics into their enterprise data operations.  

For this webinar they will be bringing top experts and practitioners from their teams and memberships to:

- Refresh – or, if you are new to semantic data, inform – your understanding of financial data semantics
- Learn how to use data semantics for maximum impact in your business, including cases
- Get updated on the major semantic standards initiatives , including FIBO and FIGI
- Hear about the proposed new Semantic Mapping and Types specification, and how you can participate in its development and roll-out

Putting Data Semantics to Work…Finally…In Financial Institutions

Edge Intelligence and Beyond: Transforming Systems with DDS

This webinar will cover a set of best practices when it comes to designing a DDS based system. It will present a step by step process to go from initial design to eventual deployment, and cover topics like:

• How to break up your domain specific information model into a set of normalized topics that minimizes overhead and maximizes performance and throughput?
• How to select the appropriate QoS policies for each of those topics?
• How to efficiently separate the various traffic flows in your system so that you balance between low latency and high throughput.
• Low bandwidth connections don't need to sacrifice bandwidth for traffic they are not interested in
• High priority traffic never gets interrupted/delayed by sudden bursts of low priority traffic.

Designing your DDS System for Performance and Scalability

Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE) is evolving to support the complexity of embedded and distributed applications, which often have strict requirements in terms of performance, scalability, robustness and security.

Data Distribution Service (DDS) addresses the communications requirements between system components running across different computers, including connectivity, security and quality of service (QoS). This session will focus on how to simplify and streamline MBSE with DDS. 

The session will include a demonstration to rapidly model DDS with MBSE using Dassault Systèmes Cameo Systems Modeler™ and the CATIA Magic Real-Time Communication Designer, the software plugin that provides a direct integration to DDS. This enables the graphical design and configuration of all DDS aspects, including Domains, Types, Topics and QoS.

Audience Q&A will follow the discussion.

Attendees will learn: 
- Concepts and Fundamentals of SysML interfaces 
- Integrating SysML with DDS  
- Demonstration

Connecting MBSE with Interface Design Using DDS: A best practice approach

The Past, Present and Future of the DDS Standard

In this webinar, you will learn how to use the Cloud Working Group discussion paper on “Domain Taxonomies for Data Governance,” issued by OMG in December 2023, to identify, inventory, tag and manage sensitive information stored in the cloud. The “domains” of the title refer to personal data protection, export controls, classified or defense information, and intellectual property. The paper also presents some of the mechanisms and tools that can be used to secure such information, and a scheme to attach classification labels to each dataset.

Domain Taxonomies for Data Governance

One of the fundamental concepts in the DDS technology is the use of data type information to make data exchange robust, efficient, and feature-rich.  The X-Types specification provides a rich toolset for defining data types for use in DDS systems.  This includes how data types are defined, how they may evolve, how they are exchanged between DDS participants at run-time, and rules for data type assignability.

In this episode of the DDS Foundation's 20th anniversary webinar series, we will explore the Extensible and Dynamic Types for DDS (or "X-Types") specification and learn how this very important component of the DDS standards impacts the design, function and interoperability of DDS systems.

Exploring DDS X-Types

We have been developing software for well over half a century. Throughout that time, people have proposed practices and methods that promise high performance for teams that choose them. Yet, beyond the few case studies accompanying the advertising and the hype, we don’t seem to see the promised results.  
This inevitably leads to new and better methods that promise to address the failings of their predecessors. But they don’t. They also have their shortcomings, and beyond the few case studies accompanying the new hype, they fail to bring the promised results to teams that adopt them. 

The answer is not to create new and better methods and frameworks. Instead, we must look into why methods fail to deliver what they promise and overcome those problems. That’s what Ivar Jacobson set out to do and what led to Essence being adopted as an OMG Standard ten years ago.  

In those ten years, we have seen a growing number of experts and methodologists use Essence to describe their frameworks and practices, and an increasing number of teams and organizations adopt Essence. 

This talk will explore some of the use cases of Essence and the value it can provide to various stakeholders, including the methodologist, the team, and the organization. We will share some success stories and look to the future by describing some of the changes proposed for Essence 2.0 and the drivers behind them. We will also explain why Essence is designed for a world of living and breathing AI.

Whether you are entirely new to Essence or already enjoying its benefits, there will be something to interest you in this talk.

Essence – The Standard Bearer for High-Performing Teams

Cybersecurity is critical in developing and running complex, distributed systems.  As systems become more interconnected and intelligent, protecting data against cyberattacks and unauthorized participants becomes increasingly challenging. The first step to securing a distributed system is to protect its data.  

As a publish/subscribe protocol, DDS helps ensure that only authorized users and nodes can transmit and receive data, providing zero-trust, end-to-end data protection and data-origin authentication. 

The DDS Security specification defines the security model and Service Plugin Interface (SPI) architecture for DDS-compliant implementations. This enables out-of-the-box security between compliant DDS applications. Specifically, the use of SPIs allows DDS users to customize the authentication, access control, encryption, message authentication, digital signing, logging and data tagging.

The OMG will release an updated version of the DDS Security specification later this year. Last updated in 2018, the updated version includes new cryptographic algorithms, key rotation, support for dynamic revocation of credentials and hardness against DoS attacks. This webinar will provide an overview of the DDS Security spec with an emphasis on the new features. The presentation will be followed by audience Q&A.

What’s New in the DDS Security Standard

Developers of systems running Data Distribution Service (DDS) use Quality of Service (QoS) policies to configure the behavior of the service.  For example, a user can declare that a DataWriter and DataReader are reliable, which obligates the service to deliver each and every sample from the DataWriter to the DataReader.  QoS separates the concerns of "what" (reliable data transfer) from "how" (resends, acknowledgments, etc.).
 
In this talk, we will
• introduce the 22 QoS policies in the DDS Specification
• describe use cases for various QoS policies
• look at a few "gotchas" related to QoS
 
The session will include an audience question and answer.

DDS, the US Navy, and the Need for Distributed Software

Application modernization is more than ever at the top of the agenda across different industries. Some of the reasons involve cost, business agility, availability of skilled workforce, end of life of certain technologies and platforms, etc. 

Whatever the reasons, every transformation comes with its own set of challenges and risks. Many of these risks are related to organizational complexity, functional complexity, or lack of understanding of the current systems and applications. In this session, we will try to address this last aspect, and we’ll see how understanding your current systems blueprints and inner workings can help you make informed decisions on a relevant modernization strategy. 

Join CAST on Thursday, December 14th at 11:00am ET to gain some insights on what they’ve learned while working with some of their clients.
